The Sikh Guru's

The following are the names of the Sikh Gurus. The Gurus were ten in number. Out of respect for their Gurus the Sikhs add "Siri" before and "Ji" after the name of each Guru. This is their order of appearance:-

1. Siri Guru Nanak Dev Ji	1469	- 1539
2. Siri Guru Angad Dev Ji	1504	- 1552
3. Siri Guru Amar Das Ji	1479	- 1574
4. Siri Guru Ram Das Ji	1534	- 1581
5. Siri Guru Arjan Dev Ji	1563	- 1606
6. Siri Guru Hargobind Ji	1595	- 1644
7. Siri Guru Har Rai Ji	1630	- 1661
8. Siri Guru Har Krishan Ji	1655	- 1664
9. Siri Guru Tegh Bahadur Ji	1621	- 1675
10. Siri Guru Gobind Singh Ji	1666	- 1708

After the death of Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the Sikhs were asked to accept no other Guru except the Holy Book (The Granth). The Sikhs, therefore, call the Holy Book not simply the Granth, but 'Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji.' The Sikhs bow to the Holy Book because it contains hymns in praise of God. They keep it with great care and wrap it in fine cloth.

"The best of all religions is, To remember God's Name and do good deeds."

"Truth is above everything; But higher still is truthful living."

"The world is on fire; Save it in thy mercy, O Lord."

(Siri Guru Granth Sahib Ji)
