Guru Nanak
Guru Nanak (1469-1539) was the founder of Sikhism and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus. Born in present-day Pakistan, he emphasized the importance of devotion to one God, equality among all people, and social justice. His teachings laid the foundation for Sikh philosophy and practice, advocating for a direct relationship with the divine without the need for intermediaries. Guru Nanak is celebrated for his spiritual wisdom and poetic hymns, which are compiled in the Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhism. The Kartarpur Corridor, which connects important Sikh shrines in India and Pakistan, stands as a testament to his legacy, allowing pilgrims to honor his memory and teachings.
