Guru Nanak was deeply spiritual from an early age, having being born into asociety caught in the throes of orthodoxy and ritualism. The ills of childmarriage, infanticide and a rigid caste system had further crippled his people. The outpouring of Nanak’s faith evolved into the universal message of theomnipresence and existence of one God, of true love, equality and compassion,which appealed to Hindus and Muslims alike. Drawing upon the various myths and legends contained in anecdotal biographiesand placing them in as precise a historical framework as possible, The Book ofNanak traces the chronology of the main events of Nanak’s life. It sheds newlight on Guru Nanak’s message and includes translations of some of his hymns,which continue to inspire people the world over.
