Shri Guru Nanak Dev ji

Guru Nanak Dev (1469–1539) was the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. Born in Talwandi (now Nankana Sahib, Pakistan), he emphasized the oneness of God, equality, and selfless service. Rejecting social divisions and rituals, he preached "Naam Japna" (meditation on God's name), "Kirat Karni" (honest living), and "Vand Chakna" (sharing with others). His teachings are compiled in the Guru Granth Sahib. Guru Nanak traveled extensively, spreading his message of love, unity, and devotion. His wisdom laid the foundation of Sikhism, promoting peace and harmony among people of all faiths and backgrounds.
