Sikhismus - Das Wort Sikh (ausgesprochen "sickh") bedeutet "Schüler" oder "Lernender". Die Sikh-Religion wurde im 15. Jahrhundert in Nordindien von Guru Nanak Dev Ji gegründet und unterscheidet sich vom Islam und Hinduismus. Der Sikhismus ist monotheistisch und betont die Gleichstellung aller Männer und Frauen. Sikhs glauben an drei Grundprinzipien; über den Namen Gottes meditieren (beten), mit ehrlichen Mitteln seinen Lebensunterhalt verdienen und die Früchte der eigenen Arbeit mit anderen teilen. Der Sikhismus lehnt Kasten- und Klassensysteme ab und betont den Dienst an der Menschheit.

Sikhism is monotheistic and emphasizes the equality of all men and women. Sikhs believe in three basic principles; Meditate on the name of God (pray), earn a living with honest means and share the fruits of your own work with others. Sikhism rejects caste and class systems and emphasizes the service to humanity.
First Sikh Temple, Woolgoolga, NSW, Australia
Permanent European settlement in Woolgoolga, New South Wales, Australia occurred in the 1870s. Prior to this, the area was inhabited by the Gumbaingirr Aboriginal tribe. It is believed that the name of the town derives from the word "Weelgoolga", which was used by the local Aborigines to describe the area, and the lilly-pilly trees that grew there. The name "Woogoolga" was gazetted in 1888, and changed to the current name of Woolgoolga in 1966.
Woolgoolga was an early centre of Sikh migration to Australia. Sikhs had migrated to New South Wales and Queensland prior to the imposition of the prohibition of non-European migration under the White Australia Policy in 1901 and many of them then led a marginalised life on the North Coast of New South Wales and in southeastern Queensland. Some Sikhs began to settle in Woolgoolga during World War II, because war-time labour shortages led to a relaxation of the previous prohibition of non-European labour in the banana industry. After the war they were able to acquire leasehold and freehold banana plantations. Woolgoolga has the largest regional Sikh/Punjabi population in Australia, and they are now said to own 90% of the banana farms.
Woolgoolga in New South Wales, Australia has two Gurdwaras (Sikh temples):
•The First Sikh Temple Woolgoolga (the first purpose built Gurdwara in Australia)
•The Guru Nanak Gurdwara ('The Temple on the Hill')

Taken at the Golden Temple, Amritsar on a windy February morning. This place is a great beauty and sublime peacefulness. The temple is spiritually the most significant shrine in Sikhism and Sikhs visit this temple from all over the place.

Sat Siri Akal,
The truth that is beyond time and space.
True Identity is beyond everyday life.
This Truth is very subtle and it is immortal
It exists here and now, it is beyond death, it is pure Light.

The Nihangs differ essentially from all other Sikh orders in being a militaristic organisation. The Nihangs wear chequered dresses of a particular shade of blue known as "electric-blue".bangles or bracelets of steel round their wrists (Kara), and quoits of steel (Chakra) in their lofty conical blue turbans, together with daggers, knives and swords of varying sizes (Kirpan), and an iron chain.
Banda Bahadur, the famous disciple of Guru Gobind Singh and Sikh warrior-general went from being a Hindu to a Sikh and adapted to wearing this attire.
