Dear Daisy Kaur....Daisy don't be lazy.....you will drive yourself crazy.....Sikh and you shall find.....

There are so many books written about Guru Nanak Dev ji and all the Gurus. The first best reference is the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. Just start to read it in English so you can understand how Guru can give you a very solid foundation for understanding your purpose in this life.

Another reference is: "The Sikh Religion" by Max Macauliff. You can probably find this in your library.

Also, you can do a search on Sikhnet for all your info.

Now in a nutshell....The Sikh way of life was created by God for humanity to have a vehicle of human excellance and God consciousness that could carry us out of this dark age. Guru Nanak was the first to evolve this new attitude that departed from the religious bigotry and hypocracy of the Hindus and Muslims.
