Sikh Worship

Sikh worship

A devotee is advised to worship only the Creator and not the creation. The sun, moon, mountains, rivers, animals, trees, etc., being creations, are not worshipped.

Further, Gurbani does not accept the sanctity of any particular lunar or solar dates. Neither does it consider any particular day of the week to be sacred for prayer or for any other ritual. God simply made days and dates, not good or bad days for a particular activity. Everyday is a good day when one loves and remembers the Lord. It is a bad day if one forgets the Lord, He Who loves everybody. Sikhs, are therefore, directed to recite Gurbani hymns regularly everyday, year round and throughout life to enjoy this linkage with the Lord.

In Gurbani hymns, many names having their origin in different faiths - Islam, Hinduism, Yoga, Vedant, etc. - have been used for God with the same sanctity. No word (Name) has been described to be superior or inferior because all address the same Father, God, whose virtues, and hence Names, are innumerable.

God loves us all, whatever Name we may use to love Him. The Guru Granth Sahib has thus made a unique contribution in developing mutual love among people of different faiths by giving new meaning with a wider sense to the traditional terminology used by them. One may love (address) God by any and every name. For example, the Hindus consider Ram as the name of their God. While the Muslims believe God's name is Allah. The Guru told them that both Names, Allah and Ram, are for the same God, just as we use papa and dad, two different names, for our father.
