In 1469 A.D., according to the Western calendar, Nanak, the esteemed figure who founded the Sikh religion and served as its first Guru, came into this world. By spreading a message of love, understanding, and critique towards blind adherence to rituals prevalent among religious followers in northern India, Nanak gained a substantial following. Subsequently, he entrusted the leadership of this newfound faith to nine successive Gurus. The term "Sikh," derived from Punjabi, translates to "Disciple" in English. In 1708, prior to his passing, Guru Gobind Singh declared that the Sikhs no longer required a living leader. He appointed the Sikh Holy Book, now recognized as Sri Guru Granth Sahib, as their spiritual successor and the Khalsa, meaning "The Pure," as their physical successor. The Khalsa consists of individuals, both men and women, who have undergone the Sikh baptism ceremony and diligently adhere to the Sikh Code of Conduct and Conventions. Guru Gobind Singh firmly believed that all the spiritual guidance Sikhs needed for their daily lives could be found within Sri Guru Granth Sahib, which stands as the eternal Guru of the Sikh community.

In addition to the profound spiritual verses penned by the Sikh Gurus, the role of being the spiritual leader of a prominent religion also involves incorporating the writings of saints from various faiths, such as Hinduism and Islam. These saints' perspectives align harmoniously with the teachings of the Sikh Gurus.
