Guru Nanak Dev Jee

“As fragrance abides in the flower
“As reflection is within the mirror,
“So does your Lord abide within you,
“Why search for him without?”
~●~Guru Nanak dev jee~●~

“Nanak jee saw the world suffering out of hatred, fanaticism, falsehood and hypocrisy. The world had sunk in wickedness and sin. So he decided that he had to travel and educate and press home the message of Almighty Lord. So he set out in 1499 on his mission for the regeneration of humanity on this earth. He carried the torch of truth, heavenly love, peace and joy for mankind. For 1 year he spread his message of peace, compassion, righteousness and truth to the people in and around his home.“Then in 1500, he embarked on his Divine Mission. Guru ji travelled far and wide to spread the word of Gurbani (the Guru’s Word) and covered most of India, present day Bangladesh, Pakistan, Tibet, Nepal, Bhutan, South West China, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Saudi Arabia, Egypt, Israel, Jordan, Syria, Kazakhstan, Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan.“He travelled on foot with his Muslim companion named Bhai Mardana, a minstrel.”
