Van Voorst: Sikhism
The Ten Gurus, beginning with Guru Nanak (1469-1539); Sikhism became a new sect within Hinduism. Muslim rulers were initially tolerant but later became violent against the Sikh faith. Nanak started his own religious community who then passed his leadership and teachings to the community. He preached a lesson of universal love and differences between religions.
I really like the idea of universal love. I wish the world could always work together peacefully.
I also liked Nuruk talking about how his feet were "pointing disrespectfully to Mecca" and although I am not sure if a "God" exists he explained that God should be everywhere and that his feet cannot point disrespectfully because in every direction there is "God".
