GURU NANAK : HIS LIFE & TEACHINGS (PB)

The founder of the Sikh
religion, Guru Nanak, was born in 1669. His life was dedicated to spreading
the word of god and in fighting a tireless battle against ritualism. He
dismantled the barriers of caste and creed, establishing a faith that has
twenty-three million followers all the world over. Guru Nanak: His Life and
Teachings examines, through his own compositions, the morning prayers, Japji,
the establishment of the institutions of sangat and langar and the Guru’s
message for empowering women. Maps depicting his journeys, reproductions of
rare eighteenth century miniature paintings and line drawings and a series
from a nineteenth century Janamsakhi that has never been published before,
have also been used to illustrate the great man’s life in this one-of-a-kind
book on one of history’s greatest teachers.
