Sikh Devotee in Delhi ਸਿੱਖੀ
This Sikh (Punjabi Sikhī, ਸਿੱਖੀ) devotee is doing his seva in Delhi at the Gurdwara Bangla Sahib. He looks after the holy lake in which the gurdwara is situated. People are allowed to clean themselves before entering the temple but have to behave properly. This is what he is about as he told me.
The core philosophy of the Sikh religion can be understood in the beginning hymn of the holy Guru Granth Sahib,
“ There is one supreme eternal reality; the truth; immanent in all things; creator of all things; immanent in creation. Without fear and without hatred; not subject to time; beyond birth and death; self-revealing. Known by the Guru’s grace."”
Guru Nanak, the founder of the faith, summed up the basis of Sikh lifestyle in three requirements: Naam Japo, Kirat Karni and Wand kay Shako, which means meditate on the holy name (Waheguru), work diligently and honestly and share one's fruits.
