OLIVIA ?MAYER ? ? ? ? 1 ?Olivia Mayer Professor Christopher Martinez Introduction to religions April 10th,2013 Modern Day Sati In today's modern day, society sati is still occurring. After researching, my findings make me think that this wide spread ritual is still occurring on a yearly basis, it is just sacred and kept secret. Aware this is a public ritual, but at the same time, if it is that would make it less likely to happen in public and be kept more a secret. Tradition of sati has been occurring in India since being outlawed in 1829. Women achieve merit bringing their families glory and the widow avoids disdain. Traditionally the women who were prevented or were not able to commit to sati were unable to live anything but a peasant's life.

Sikhism
Sikhism is a monotheistic religion founded in the fifteenth century Punjab on the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji and ten later Sikh Gurus. The principal belief of Sikhism is faith in Waheguru. The Gurū Granth Sāhib Ji, which, along with the writings of six other Sikh Gurus, has works of many devotees from diverse economic and religious backgrounds. Most of the sikhs live in Punjab, India and Punjab, Pakistan. Sikh teaching emphasizes the principle of equality of all humans and rejects discrimination on the basis of caste, creed, and gender. Nanak's teachings are founded not on a final destination of heaven or hell, but on a spiritual union with God which results in salvation. The ten gurus are # Name Date of birth, Guruship on, Date of ascension, Age
