A Gift from India

You would not expect the concept of a Guru to emanate from any part of Mother Earth, other than from India.

Priests and spiritual leaders have arisen within the most ancient of civilizations, but existential learning always ends with the personal realization that a Guru is unique.

Bonding with a Guru is in no way weaker than with parents and spouses. Priests and officials from religious establishments may be powerful and deserving of respect as well. However, we cannot allow them inside the privates of our minds, as we so lovingly do with a Guru.

Sikhs are amongst the most fortunate of Indians. The Gurus of other peoples of this blessed sub-continent leave their bodies as per the dictates of mortality. The Sikh Guru never leaves your side. It is enshrined in Scripture for all time.

Do not despair if you are not a practicing Sikh. You can become one from tomorrow. Sikhism does not exclude any worshippers. Nor does it force itself on any unwilling person. You can remain with your inherited faith and worship the Guru at the same time.

The Guru shows a path to live well.

It is easy to understand the Guru provided that you start each day by reciting at least a part of the Japji Sahib.

Sikhism is anthropomorphic. Worship of the Guru is not different from love for humanity. It is a way of life, apart from being a faith.
