Guru Nanak was the founder of Sikhism. Guru Nanak was a great saint of
medieval India. He was born in 1469 AD in Lahore which is the district
of trade in Punjab. He was born into a Hindu family and his father was a
trader. His father wanted Nanak to be part of business but Nanak was a
very religious person even from the beginning of his life. Instead of
him earning money,
he would give away money to the poor from his father’s business
accounts. He then devoted himself to deep spiritual thoughts. Nanak
traveled to religious places like Mecca and Medina. Nanak believed that a
person can live a saintly life without giving up home. Guru Nanak is a very important person in the history of Sikhism because he founded Sikhism. There was no Sikhism before his birth. Not only that, but he was the first guru. A guru is a spiritual teacher.
