Guru Nanak was the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. He was born in 1469 in the village of Talwandi, which is now known as Nankana Sahib, in modern-day Pakistan. He spent his life teaching people about the importance of serving God, practicing kindness and compassion, and living a virtuous life. He travelled extensively across India and other parts of Asia, spreading his teachings and establishing a community of disciples. His teachings, as recorded in the Sikh holy book, the Guru Granth Sahib, emphasize the oneness of God, the importance of selfless service to others, and the rejection of caste, religious dogma, and superstitions. Guru Nanak is widely respected and revered as a spiritual teacher and social reformer in India and around the world.
