| Summary: | The Sikh religion -is the youngest of the world religions but is recognized as one among the major world religions. It is a revolutionary prophetic religion which emerged over five hundred years ago and is spread over a period of four centuries. The Sikh religion originated with the advent of Guru Nanak (1469-1539) and reached its culmination in the creation of Khalsa by Guru Gobind Singh (1699-1708). This paper is an humble attempt to highlight the growth of Sikhism from its origin to the turn of the millennium by illustrating briefly the founder and other Gurus, the scriptures, theological aspects, cultic or liturgical aspects, socialpolitical movements and the future of Sikhism in the present scenario. |
