LIVING THE SIKH LIFE
Rahit Maryada
- The Rahit Maryada is the Sikh Code of Conduct.
- The approved version was published in 1945 after fourteen years of discussion among the Khalsa.
- It sets out the order of service in the Gurdwara, the details of the four life ceremonies, a list of what Sikhs should not do (such as belief in black magic, caste or superstition), and a list of daily prayers.
- It is a slim document numbering 20-30 A5 pages.
- The Code of Conduct provides unity to Sikh practices. All can agree that it is a starting point or lowest common denominator of Sikh practice. Different individuals and groups will have different attitudes to different articles.
