The Ten Gurus of Sikhism
The Ten Gurus are the great teachers of Sikhism.
The basic tenet was to wean people away from the caste system predominant in India. Another thing advocated was "no idol worship". Sikhism believes that God is inside a person, rather than stones and symbols.
The Gurus taught the path of enlightenment to the disciples.
The gurus were:
- Guru Nanak Dev
- Guru Angad Dev
- Guru Amar Das
- Guru Ram Das
- Guru Arjan Dev
- Guru Hargobind
- Guru Har Rai
- Guru Har Krishan
- Guru Teg Bahadur
- Guru Gobind Singh
The perpetual and current Guru of the Sikhs is the Guru Granth Sahib, which is sometime referred to as the Holy Book of the Sikhs.
