Abstract

Sikhism, which emerged in the 15th century CE in the Punjab region of the Indian subcontinent, arose as a unique and revolutionary religious movement that left a profound impact on the social, religious, and political landscape of the region. Guru Nanak Dev Ji laid the foundation of this religion, and the nine Gurus who followed him further nurtured his teachings, consolidated Sikh beliefs, and established a structured social and religious framework. These ten leaders, who hold the revered title of "Guru" in Sikhism, were not only spiritual guides but also social reformers, thinkers, and, at times, political leaders. They taught their followers moral and spiritual values and shaped them into a strong and united community.

The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive and analytical study of the lives of the ten Gurus of Sikhism and their spiritual, social, religious, and political contributions.
