Abstract

Sikh history is just 400 years old and has displayed distinguished results following management through spirituality even sacrificed their lives for justice in the period from 1606 until 1708 by Guru Arjun Dev, Guru Tegh Bahadur, Guru Gobind Singh, his four sons, 43 disciples (forty Muktas and three Pyaras) and 850 Indian soldiers to halt forceful and criminal conversion to Islam by Mughal Emperors Aurangzeb and Jahangir. Sikh Gurus (6) and 15 saints from all religions authored Sri Guru Granth Sahib, which was declared Sikhs Guru forever by Guru Gobind Singh, tenth Guru. Guide lines laid in Sri Guru Granth Sahib are purely based on spirituality and best management practices, namely ‘Kirat Karo' means earnest earning, ‘Wand Ke Shako' and Daswandh means 10 percent of the earnest earning through volunteer contribution for running Langar (common and free kitchen) to all, irrespective of religion, caste, colour, race, origin and country is served with zeal, construction and maintenance of worship places called Gurdwaras all over in the world by Kar Sevaks (volunteers religious service), free medical aid, financial help to girls of poor families in marrying them, extending financial support to adversely affected population by natural calamities like earth quake, floods, draught and ‘Naam Japo' means remain attached to Almighty, through reciting Gurbani, while doing daily chores, to control soul vices namely lust , anger, ego, selfishness and greed, which is being followed religiously and sincerely in Sikh religion, since origination of this brave religion. Not a single beggar in Sikh religion is existing even today in the entire world and Sikhs inspite of just 2.7 percent in India and 0.39 percent in the world never projected themselves as a minority, since they have a firm belief in their Guru's teaching. Sincere and hard work with Almighty's blessings, can achieve success in any profession, which has been proved and is being religiously followed in this religion, even today, in the world dominated by materialism and digitization
