Guru Nanak travelled the world to spread the message that there is only one God. He is credited with setting up a distinctive social, political and spiritual platform based on virtue, equality, goodness and love.
Guru Nanak’s thoughts, views and words have been catalogued in the form of 974 poetic hymns in ‘Guru Granth Sahib’, the holy text of Sikhism.
