In the end we learned a lot about Sikhism. We found that they treat the Grand Guru Sahib as a living person. Which we found very interesting. What we found odd was that there are eleven gurus. Ten are people and one is a book. We thought that it is unique that they have a celebration for every Guru. We learned many things, but the one thing that stood out most was that America has over 500,000 People who worship sikhism. We didn't think there was that much in are country.
