Sikhi began with Guru Nanak (1469–1539) in the Punjab and developed through ten human Gurus before authority passed, in 1708, to the scripture itself, the Guru Granth Sahib, and to the community of initiated Sikhs, the Khalsa Panth. Its core is simple to state and demanding to live: remember the one Creator, earn honestly, and share with others.
Sikh terms are Punjabi and are written in the Gurmukhi script; we give common romanized spellings, which vary. The celebration of Guru Nanak's birth is covered in Guru Nanak Gurpurab.
