Sikhi ekankar(Unique monotheism)



Baapar govind naae
Waheguru ji ka khalsa waheguru ji ki fateh !


The concept of sikhi is misunderstood by people due to lack of study and misinformation.Sikhi in fact believes in monotheism i.e belief in one unique god.
The concept of sikh spirituality is based on ekankaar i.e belief in only one unique god.The word ekankaar comes many times in guru granth sahib.One of the beloved companion of guru gobind Singh  has written it has toheed in persian.It proves sikhi is based on non dualistic belief i.e belief of spiritual one god different from material bonds
The mention of word ekankaar in guru granth sahib

💎Sikh ekankar believes in only one god,without making duality in worship i.e worshipping any other besides one god,making association of others in asking things with one god.In short sikhi believes in non dualistic worship of only one god.Sikh gurus are not god rather slaves of One god.We will present and refute all fake claims regarding sikh gurus.
✍Sikh gurus are creation of God,Sikh gurus themselves worship one god.
