Sikhs believe that the Supreme Creator is within each one

The word ‘Sikh’ means a learner or disciple and ‘Guru’ means enlightener, a teacher-prophet. The Sikh faith was founded by Guru Nanak Dev Ji (1469-1539) and his divine torch was carried by nine gurus who followed him. Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the 10^th successor, who left for heavenly abode in 1708, gave Sikhs a unique, indisputable and distinct identity − unshorn hair covered with a turban.
