Who is the Sikhism leader of worship?

Answer 1

Sikhs don't worship any person as their leader. Their faith was founded by "Shri Guru Nanak Dev Ji" who taught people three basic principals of sikhism:

(1)Earn your livelihood being honest.

(2)Remember God at all times.

(3)Share your earnings with the needful.

He taught people that no religion is good or bad but these are the deeds of a person which make him good or bad. His Ideology was carried forward by his fellow Gurus (Sikhs had ten gurus). Their tenth guru (Guru Gobind Singh Ji) ordered them before his death that they will no longer have a mortal person as their guru, instead they should start following the holy book "Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji" (also known as Adi Granth) as their guru or leader. This holy book was compiled by the fifth Sikh Guru "Shri Guru Arjun Dev Ji" and it's a masterpiece with 1430 pages of wise sayings and hymns from 6 of the Gurus & 35 other Bhagats from different religions and casts. Choosing persons from different religions also reflects the religious tolerance of the Gurus. Sikhs consider this holy book above all earthly things and people. It's the "Sacha Patshah"(The real king) of the whole world. Sikhs worship "Guru Granth Sahib Ji" in their worship places called Gurudwaras. Every Gurudwara has at least one copy of Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji & every Sikh bows his/her head in front of "Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji" only. So Sikhs have only one leader at the time "Shri Guru Granth Sahib Ji".

Answer 2

I think there is no central person in Sikhism

the holy book, Adi Sri Guru Granth Sahib, of Sikhism is the last succesor of the 10th guru. why they did this i have no idea.

^they did this because they were against the idea of a higher order priest who did nothing for mankind except profit for himself from the expense of someone else.

the Adi Sri Guru Granth Sahib is a source/guide of prayer and conduct

"The Granth was written in Gurmukhi script and it contains the actual words and verses as uttered by the Sikh Gurus.

It is considered the Supreme Spiritual Authority and Head of the Sikh religion, rather than any living person. It is also the only scripture of its kind which not only contains the works of its own religious founders but also the writings of people of other faiths.

The living Guru of the Sikhs, the book is held in great reverence by Sikhs and treated with the utmost respect.

Guru Granth Sahib is a book of Revelation. It conveys the Word of the Master through His messengers on earth. It is universal in its scope.

The greatness of the Guru Granth Sahib lies not only in its being the Holy Scripture of the Sikhs but also in it being a general scripture available to mankind, intended for everybody, everywhere."

Also:

"

• Sikhism was established by ten Gurus, teachers or masters, over the period from 1469 to 1708 - that is over a period of 239 years. These teachers were enlightened souls whose main purpose in life was the spiritual and moral well-being of the masses. By setting an exceptional example of how to live a holy and worthy life through the reciting of holy hymns called Shabads. The Gurus taught the people of India & beyond, to live spiritually fulfilling lives with dignity and honour.

• Each master added to and reinforced the message taught by the previous, resulting eventually to the creation of the religion that is now called Sikhism. Guru Nanak Dev was the first Guru and Guru Gobind Singh the final Guru in human form. When Guru Gobind Singh left this world, he made the Sri Guru Granth Sahib the ultimate and final Sikh Guru. The Spirit of this final Guru is more than a holy book for the Sikhs, who give this eternal Guru the same respect and reverence as a living "human" Guru.

• During the span of 239 years, the Sikh Gurus laid down within the sacred scriptures, the rules and regulations that outline the way of living that was to be followed by all practising disciple of this religion. The history and the literature present the followers of the faith with the raw material required to learn about the beliefs and practises propagated by the Gurus. The Gurus were clear also to outline rituals, practises and beliefs that were not appropriate and were not to be followed by the faithful disciples."

So, as it mentioned, gurus were"masters" set to implement the religion, and over the course of 239 years, once the religion was well established, the collective knowledge was gathered into the 11th guru.

We all respect and follow the teachings of the 10 guru's from Guru Nanak Dev Ji to Guru Gobind Singh Ji. Our leader of worship as some might say is our living Guru the Guru Granth Sahib.

Answer 6

The head of the Sikh faith is the Guru Granth Sahib (also called Adi Granth), which is the scripture of the Sikhs. It contains the teachings of the Ten Gurus of Sikhism. The first of these gurus was Guru Nanak, who is considered the founder of Sikhism, but it is the scripture that is now considered the "head," just like a person. The tenth guru, Guru Govind Singh, completed the scripture in 1705 and named it as his successor, so that it is now regarded as the manifestation of the immortal spiritual teacher.

Answer 7

The highest religious leader is the Head Granthi (Head Priest) of the Golden Temple. The highest political leader is the Jathedar of Akal Thakth Sahib.
