Krodh
Krodh (Gurmukhi: ਕਰੋਧ ''Karōdha'') is derived from the Sanskrit word krodha (क्रोध), which means wrath or rage. This is a state of mind recognized in Sikh philosophy as a spring of desire and is as such classified as one of the five evils. Terms Within the Sikh canon, the terms 'krodh' and 'kop' (a synonym) are both used to give name to this emotion. Description It expresses itself in several forms from quiet seething to outbursts and even physical violence. In the Sikh scriptures, krodh usually appears linked to and in association with kam (another of the five thieves) — as "kam krodh". The merging of these two words is not merely for the sake of rhythmic effect. Krodh (ire) is the direct derivative of kam (desire). The latter when foiled or rejected manufactures the former. The scripture also includes krodh as being among the four rivers of fire. Righteous anger or annoyance against wickedness, despotism, and imperiousness is not seen as the s ...

Krodha (Mental Factor)
Krodha (; Tibetan Wylie: ''khro ba'') is a Buddhist term that is translated as "fury", "rage", or "indignation". Within the Mahayana Abhidharma tradition, ''krodha'' is identified as one of the twenty subsidiary unwholesome mental factors. It is defined as an increase of anger (Sanskrit: '' pratigha'') that causes one to prepare to harm others.Guenther (1975), Kindle Locations 862-871.Kunsang (2004), p. 27. According to Herber Guenther, the difference between anger ('' pratigha'') and fury (''krodha'') is that anger is a vindictive or hostile attitude in one's mind, but fury is an increase in anger when the chance for harming is at hand and is it very agitated state of mind leading to actual physical harm. Alexander Berzin states: :Hatred (khro-ba) is a part of hostility (dvesha) and is the harsh intention to cause harm.Berzin (2006) Note that according to Berzin, ''dvesha'' is a sub-category of anger (''pratigha'').

Wrath
Anger, also known as wrath ( ; ) or rage, is an intense emotional state involving a strong, uncomfortable and non-cooperative response to a perceived provocation, hurt, or threat.

God In Sikhism
In Sikhism, God is conceived as the Oneness that permeates the entirety of creation and beyond. It abides within all of creation as symbolized by the symbol Ik Onkar. The One is indescribable yet knowable and perceivable to anyone who surrenders their egoism and meditates upon that Oneness. The Sikh gurus have described God in numerous ways in their hymns included in the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism, but the oneness of formless God is consistently emphasized throughout. God is described in the Mul Mantar (lit. the Prime Utterance), the first passage in the Guru Granth Sahib: General conceptions Monotheism Sikhi is monotheistic and believes that there is only One God. Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhi strongly denounces any type of ''Pakhand'' (hypocrisy or duality).
