Guru Nanak, the founder of Sikhism, was born in the 15th century during a period of political and religious turmoil in India. Nanak founded a new religion, a synthesis of Hinduism and Islam, with the belief that God was one. He advocated a casteless society based on truth, brotherhood, and equality. He spent twenty-three years travelling not only in India but also to Tibet, Ceylon, and the Central Asian countries of Arabia, Iran, and Iraq, preaching the truth as he had perceived it and showing mankind the path to salvation. This insightful Guru Nanak biography tells the fascinating story of a unique messiah who showed a gentle, peaceful path to the realization of God, making it an engaging book on Sikhism for readers interested in spirituality and religious history.
