Description: Guru, Nanak was born in a society that was in the grip of religious orthodoxy and empty ritualism. Society was further crippled by female-infanticide, child marriage, subordination of women and a rigid caste system. A gifted child and deeply spiritual from an early age, Guru Nanak amazed his teachers by quickly learning the alphabet and the scriptures. He was soon composing poems in praise of God. Before he entered his teens, Guru Nanak began to question the traditional religious ceremonies and superstitions of people around him.After attaining enlightenment at the age of twenty-seven, Guru Nanak spent the next twenty-three years travelling as far as Sri Lanka, Tibet, Assam and Mecca to spread his message.Guru Nanak’s message was simple and based on ethics, social responsibility and, social justice. He asked his followers to worship one God, control worldly desires, treat everyone equally, work honestly, share with the less fortunate, and serve the community.Note: Guru Nanak was the first Sikh Guru among the ten Gurus. He was the founder of Sikhism religion. Guru Nanak was followed by Guru Angad Dev, Guru Amar Das, Guru Ram Das, Guru Arjan Dev, Guru Hargobind, Guru Har Rai, Guru Harkrishan, and Guru Gobind Singh.
