| | Guru Nanak Dev - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | Wherever he went, Guru Nanak spoke out against empty religious rituals, pilgrimages, the caste system, the death of widows on their husband's funeral pyre, of depending on books to learn the true religion, and of all the other tenets that were to define his teachings. | | | It was here that the Guru told his followers that they were to be householders and could not live apart from the world—there were to be no priests or hermits. | | | Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji (Punjabi: ਸ੍ਰੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ ਦੇਵ ਜੀ) (20 October 1469 – 7 May 1539), the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Gurus of the Sikhs, was born in the village of Talwandi, now called Nankana Sahib, near Lahore in present-day Pakistan. |

| | Guru Nanak is said to have cross-dressed the Muslim and Hindu attire. | | | In Nanak's teaching there are two kinds of people; those who listen and act on the Word of the True Guru called Gurmukh (he who faces the Guru) and those that do not, called Manmukh (he who has turned his back on the Guru and does as he pleases). | | | In Nanak's hymns where there is love (bhaau) for the Supreme Being and fear (bhau) of him, then there is virtue and truth and so also spiritual illumination. |

| | The Concept of Sahaj in Guru Nanak’s Theology |
| | In common with Kabir and other sants of medieval India, Guru Nanak came to recognize and accept that religious and spiritual quest was a matter which was altogether internal to man. Negatively speaking, it was not a matter of external practices and observances of traditional forms and prescriptions of religion. | | | There are many points of similarity and divergence between Guru Nanak on the one hand, and the totality of the Indian medieval protestant and non-conformist mystic tradition, and the individual mystics belonging to this tradition, on the other. | | | A technical term is not interchangeable, but Guru Nanak seems to have admitted the interchangeability of mahasukh with param sukh and param anand, and - by and through - this simple means he seems to have divested the term and concept of mahasukha of all its exclusive Tantric yogic significance. |

| | Guru Arjan Dev collected original manuscripts of the Gurus from Mohan (son of Guru Amar Das), Datu (son of Guru Angad) as well as Sri Chand (son of Guru Nanak). | | | Guru Arjan Dev seated himself at a lower level and instructed all Sikhs to bow before it, not as an idol, but as the book of divine inspiration which instructed living men in the ways of God and dedicated secular life. | | | Guru Arjan Dev realized that if this situation was allowed to continue it would be the undermining of the Sikh religion. |

| | Guru Nanak's hymns were, in fact, composed when the Sufi movement in Islam had ushered in a renaissance of religious thought to be matched by the Bhakti movement around the same time. | | | Later, the tenth Sikh Guru was to reaffirm the message of Kabir and Farid which emphasised that man originates from one single source, and that all religions were but different manifestations of the same Creator. | | | T the outset, it must be remembered that Islam's advent in India had long preceded the birth of Guru Nanak, and that the founder of Sikhism who was well-versed in Islamic thought and heritage first saw it in action at the time of Babar's invasion of India. |
