Sikhs around the world celebrate by singing hymns and offering prayers. As Guru Nanak Day approaches, Sikhs often hold a continuous reading of the entire Sikh scriptures. Sikhism originated with Guru Nanak, who was born in 1469. He stressed hard work, charity, and constant mindfulness of god. Today, there are nearly 20 million Sikhs worldwide, most of them residing in India. There are a half-million Sikhs in North America. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
