Guru Nanak (1469-1539) was the founder of Sikhism and the first Sikh Guru. His birthday is celebrated around the world on the full moon day of Katak, which falls on a different date each year in Katak (October-November). [4]

Sikhs believe that the light of Guru Nanak's holiness, divinity and religious supremacy ascended to the top of the other nine Gurus during his tenure.

At the age of seven, Nanak was sent to study with Pandhe. He impressed Pandhe with his ideas. Apart from this he was educated in Persian and Sanskrit. He married Bibi Sulakhni. Baba Sri Chand, the founder of the Udasi sect, had two sons named Lakhmi Das.



Guru Nanak was born on 15 April 1469 at Talwandi of Rai Bhoi near Lahore, Pakistan, now called Nankana Sahib, which is now celebrated as Guru Nanak's Parkash Dihare (Gurpurab). The Gurdwara Janam Asthan is now adorned on this site. His father, Kalyan Chand Das Bedi or Mehta Kalu [7] was the Patwari of Talwandi village and worked under Rai Bular, a Muslim landlord of the area. [8] His mother's name was Tripta. His elder sister's name was Bebe Nanaki who became his first Sikh.


Bebe Nanaki was married to Jai Ram at Sultanpur Lodhi who worked in the Modikhana of Daulat Khan, the Governor of Lahore. Due to Guru Nanak's great love for his elder sister, he too moved to his brother-in-law's house in Sultanpur according to the old custom. There he started working in Modikhana at the age of seven. According to ancient Janam Sakhis, this was a creative time for Guru Nanak and it was during this time that his desire to meet Akal Purakh increased.





Looking at the plight of the Indian people, he resigned from the Modi Khana job. Accompanied by Bhai Mardana ji, he embarked on a long world journey to help the needy. Guru Nanak Dev Ji embarked on a world tour to spread his divine message to all mankind, about which Bhai Gurdas Ji states:

ਚੜਿਆ ਸੋਧਣਿ ਧਰਤੀ ਲੁਕਾਈ॥ (Time 1:22)

The Guru reached every corner of Greater India. He visited almost all the religious centers of the Islamic countries in the Middle East and got a close look at the diverse Indian and Syrian religious traditions. He studied practices on philosophical grounds and inspired the ignorant to understand the futility of rituals and rituals or miracles. His strategy of borrowing from the people was that he would go to the people gathered at a religious festival and attract the attention of the people in a unique dramatic way and teach them to behave truthfully by refuting their folk deeds. Give Numerous examples are found in Aap Ji's life. Instead of irrigating the sun at Haridwar, he started irrigating his fields to the west to show the futility of this deed. By mysteriously refuting this delusion of mankind, the Guru had also led the people to the path of God.

The first sad East


The first of these was a long one. According to Prof. Sahib Singh Ji (Gurmat Prakash 12 November 2007) this was the journey from Bhadron Sammat 1564 to 1572 (9 years) from 1497 to 1508 AD. During this journey he traveled six to seven thousand miles. In this sadness, he visited famous Hindu shrines like Haridwar, Gorakh Mata, Ayodhya, Prayag, Banaras, Gaya, Jagannathpuri, Madurai, Rameshwaram, Somnath, Dwarka, Pushkar, Mathura, Bindraban and Kurukshetra. Traveled to Orissa, Dravar, Bombay, Aurangabad, Ujjain, Kutch, Ajmer etc. It was during this sadness that SatGuru Ji transformed his spiritual experiences into a definite and systematic philosophy of life and planned to set up centers for its propagation. Returning from this sadness, he established a new village, Kartarpur, on the banks of the Ravi in ​​Gurdaspur district, with the help of some of his leading Sikh devotees. When a small dharamshala was built here, his parents also came here. Bhai Mardana ji's family also settled here. For a while SatGuru Ji was busy in the process of establishing the city but soon left for another sadness.


The second sad answer

The second depression lasted for two or three years. According to Prof. Sahib Singh, this sadness lasted from 1517 to 1518. During this mourning, Gurdev traveled to Jammu and Kashmir. He first went to Vaishno Devi via Gyan Kot and Jammu, then to Amarnath in Mutton and beyond to the snow-capped mountain range, where he had some direct conversations. Bhai Gurdas Ji's statement is: - Again the Sumerian fairy congregation came into view.





The third depression of the West



The third Udasi (1518 to 1521) is when he traveled from Kartarpur to the countries of the West (Middle East). Of Bhai Gurdas Ji


According to the statement: Baba went to Mecca again and made a blue robe. (Var 1; 2) Strangers on foreign lands, but Satguru Ji did not find anything foreign. All were their own. This time Gurmat Prakash left Kartarpur on November 13, 2007 and reached Makran area by joining the caravan of Muslim pilgrims from Kasur, Pakpattan, Tulamba, Multan, Bahawalpur, Shakhar etc. Then they went to Mecca. The Guru had a discussion with the Meccan pilgrims. There was an argument with Rukndin. He gave her his standing sign. Then they went to Madinah, then to Basra and Basra
