Founder of Sikhism
He was the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. Sikhism was established by ten Gurus. These Gurus created and defined Sikhism from one to the next, through their words, hymns, writings and actions. They taught the belief that all religions worship the same one True God (Ek Onkar)
"Ek Onkar" hymn translated
"There is but one God. True is His Name, creative is His personality and immortal is His form. He is without fear, sans enmity, unborn and self-illuminated. By the Guru's grace, He is obtained.
Embrace His meditation
True in the prime. True in the beginning of ages. True He is even now and True He verily shall be, O'Nanak!"
