Sikh Gurus and their teachings
This Religion and worldviews video supports teachers delivering a unit that explores how spiritual leaders influence beliefs and practices. It focuses on the Sikh worldview and the ten human gurus, whose teachings are viewed as guiding people from spiritual darkness to light. The video provides key background on Guru Nanak, considered the first Sikh guru, and explains how his teachings of equality, service, and belief in one God continue to shape Sikh lives through the Guru Granth Sahib, the eternal Sikh scripture.
This video is part of Kapow Primary’s Religion and worldviews resources – Sikhs. It prepares teachers to introduce concepts such as the role of the guru, the meaning of Ik Onkar, and the values of prayer, honest work, and generosity. The video explains how the gurus were chosen and how their wisdom is passed down through scripture. Teachers are supported in addressing misconceptions about Sikh leadership and encouraged to explore the lived experiences and practices of Sikhs today, helping pupils connect these teachings to wider concepts of leadership, equality, and faith.
