Dig into the Details of the Sikh Religion
Monotheism or pantheism has been one of the ways of living and worshipping that people follow these words. Don’t get swayed away by these words! They simply mean that there is only one God. This is the case with Sikhism. The Sikh natives do follow only God, named as Omkar. There is no form of God. Simaran is also an important aspect where a Sikh man has to remember God in his every work. Sikhism’s language is Punjabi, and the Sikh word itself implies disciple, in Punjabi. The first Guru, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, laid the foundation of Sikhism in the Punjab of South Asia.

Instead, Guru Granth Sahib will be the Guru of the Sikhs till eternity. It is why the Guru Granth Sahib is also known as the Adi Granth.
