Guru Nanak
Guru Nanak
Guru Nanak (1469–1539) was the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. Born in Talwandi, now Nankana Sahib in present-day Pakistan, he showed a contemplative nature from childhood and later worked as a storekeeper in Sultanpur Lodhi. According to Sikh tradition, he disappeared while bathing in the Kali Bein river and returned three days later proclaiming, "There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim," a call to see all people as children of one God. With the musician Bhai Mardana he then traveled widely across South Asia and beyond, sharing his message in song. He later settled at Kartarpur, where his community farmed, worshiped together and shared meals in the langar, a free community kitchen. His hymns, preserved in the Guru Granth Sahib, teach devotion to one God, honest work, sharing with others and the equality of all people.
