3 pillars of Sikhi - Simran - Seva - Sacrifice


Meditate in God's Name: Sikhs meditate on Waheguru. Sikhs are ordered to wake up at Amritvela (early morning before sunrise) and meditate on God. Sikhs are to read Gurbani as much as possible to keep them in a trance with truth. Sikhs have to do Nitnem these are prayers which are done at different time of the day. Sikhs keep Waheguru's Name in their heart while engaged in the day-to-day worldly pursuits. Sikhs get the Divine blessing while worshiping Waheguru. They always cherish to accumulate the treasure of Waheguru's Name.


Fair Earning of Livelihood: A Sikh is to earn his livelihood by fair means. They are neither to exploit nor allow to be exploited. They are to be a constructive and positive role for the society with their fair dealings. They are to help in all types of charity and give food donations for Guru Ka Langar. A Sikh is also ordered to give a minimum of 1/10th of their earnings to a noble cause.



Fighting for Justice: A Sikh always lives by the Will of Waheguru and cherishes the welfare of the whole humanity while living a peaceful life. But if there is injustice; cruelty and Evil brutality in the world. It is Dharma of the Sikhs to fight directly and even sacrifice their life for the Just-cause.
