last guru, and it is part of ceremonies. The year 1469 marks the birth of Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism. He was succeeded by nine other gurus until, in 1708, the Guruship was finally passed on by the tenth guru to the holy Sikh scripture, Guru Granth Sahib, which is now considered the living Guru by the followers of the Sikh faith. The founding gurus of Sikhism in the 15th and 16th centuries declared that women were equal to men in the eyes of Bhagwan.
