ਬਲਿਓ ਚਰਾਗੁ ਅੰਧੵਾਰ ਮਹਿ
ਸਭ ਕਲਿ ਉਧਰੀ ਇਕ ਨਾਮ ਧਰਮ ||
The Great and Glorious, Sahib Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji descended upon Earth in human form to illuminate the shadow of ignorance and injustice cast upon the world. He emerged as a radiant Light of Divinity, spreading the eternal Truth of Oneness, that the whole humankind are real brothers and sisters- children of the One!
Sahib Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji shows us the way on how to live a meaningful life- guiding us toward inner transformation leading to kindness, love and humility.
During this mission of mercy, Maharaj Ji humbly travelled to remote and distant lands, blessing countless souls with the priceless gift of Naam (God's Name) while bestowing many with the eternal gift of salvation, without distinction, place after place. To share His universal message, He traveled to all the major religious sites—the Bodh Gaya (the most sacred site for Buddhists) in 1506, Varanasi (the most sacred place for Hindus) in 1506, the Mecca (the most sacred site for Muslims) in 1511, and the Vatican (the most sacred site for Christians) in 1518.
His mission of fostering lasting global peace and universal brotherhood remains just as vital today as it was 555 years ago. Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s path embraces all with love. His messages are universal. Neither He nor His messages belong to any particular religion.
We warmly invite you to discover Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s life and teachings through these Saakhies (witnessed events; source) and find inspiration to create positive change in your life.
