Indian Sikh Holy Symbol: "Ek Onkar"

This is an Indian painting of the Sikh holy symbol "Ek Onkar." Ek Onkar represents the fundamental belief of Sikhism in "One Supreme Reality."

In the 1480s, Guru Nanak Dev founded the Sikh religion in what is now the Punjab region of Pakistan. Nanak preached that God is "supreme, all powerful and truthful, formless, fearless, without hate, the sole, the self-existent, the incomprehensible, everlasting creator of all things, and the eternal and absolute truth," making Sikhism a monotheistic religion. Sikhs believe that this one god contains all gods that have ever been worshipped. He taught that all humans were equal in God's eyes and can have direct access to God without rituals or priests.

Nine successive Gurus shaped the religion. Sikhs follow the teaching of the ten Sikh Gurus and look to their holy book for spiritual guidance. The holy book is called the Guru Granth Sahib. The Guru Granth Sahib contains writings by Sikh Gurus and teachers of other faiths. The three principals of Sikhism are: meditate on God, earn an honest living, and share and care.
