Guru Nanak (1469 - 1539)
Guru Nanak the founder of Sikhism came to this world on April 15, 1469.He declared his ministry in November 1496when he took on his jourey to teach. The youngest and the fifth largest religion of the world, with a following of around 25 million world wide. It is a monotheistic faith founded in the Punjab region of India more than 500 years ago. Most of the world's 30 million Sikhs live in India but more than 500,000 have made the U. S their home.
The religious leaders routinely concocted religious practices to thrust on people to serve many unholy interests. These interests were mutually supportive and were successful in designing a variety of concealed tricks to fool people who were seeking peace and salvation.
They asked to erect stunning buildings to house gods and promised accessibility to gods at precise times and places opened only through the expense of wealth, tinne and inner energy. Altruism was prevented so that it only benefited clerics and clergy.
Many other tricks were implemented to speed a religious myths were invented to answer real question and then safeguarded those miracles and myths by untestable threats and promises. Religious institutions built cults of external marks and body wrappings to encourage murders and wars against those who did not toe the line or who were members of competing religions.
Guru Nanak came out of the enlightening meditation at the veni river with fervent zeal to spread wath he said was inspiration from the ONE CREATOR MANIFESTED IN ALl.
Rather sikhi would be universal only when the teaching of our Guru would have practical appeal to civil societies in many countries with in and beyond Northern Indian subcontinent and many diverse cultures across the oceans practice it.
