Jainism, Sikhism and other paths

Sikhism, Sikhī, began with Guru Nānak (1469–1539) and was shaped by nine Gurus after him. It teaches one formless God, the equality of all people, honest work, sharing, and constant remembrance of the Name. Since 1708 its living Guru has been the scripture, the Guru Granth Sahib, together with the community, the Khalsa Panth.
