Interfaith Relationships

Sikhism asserts an individual's right to directly commune with God, regardless of status, caste or religion. Beginning in 1469 with Guru Nanak, the founder, the Sikh Gurus fought for an "exploitation-free" society based on equal rights, denouncing fanaticism, intolerance and rituals. Sikhs believe that the key to righteous living is the conquest of Ego and its five temptations - lust, attachment, pride, greed, and anger.

IF WE DO NOT SEE GOD IN ALL, WE DO NOT SEE GOD AT ALL. This is the core teaching of the Sikh Holy Scripture, the eternal Guru of the Sikhs, Sri Guru Granth Sahib. Compiled during their lifetime by the Gurus, it is co-authored by persons of many faiths. A Sikh must respect and accept all other world religions and must protect, guard and allow the free-practise of the customs and rituals of other religions. The Sikh Gurus helped to unite people in one unique brotherhood having faith in one common God with many names. Sikhism is a universal world faith, a truly multicultural religion.
