Phir uthi akhir sada tauhid ki Punjab se,
Hind ko ik mard-e-kamil ne jagaye khwab se!
(Dr. Mohammad Iqbal on guru Nanak's coming in this world)
Today Five hundred and thirty two years ago on Purnima of Indian month of Kartik
A Messiah of whole humanity was born in Rai bhoii di Talwandi
(present day Nankana Sahib in Pakistani part of Punjab)
From young age he preached about One god,equality of all human beings,castes and women.
He was beloved of all faiths
He followed Path of humanity and taught the world about loving every fellow human being without looking at his/her caste, gender,faith or nationality
He is none other than
Guru Nanak Dev Ji
Founder of Sikhism
He is also known as Nanak shah or Baba Nanak by different faiths.
Guru Nanak Dev ji was most traveled Sikh guru
He traveled in 4 directions and his travels are called udaasis
Guruji's travel Map
On these missions Guru ji spread the message of one god and equality of all humans in different corners of world
To him, there are no barriers of race, class, caste, creed or color which check the progress of any in reaching the goal. He realized the great truth of the brotherhood of religions. He preached the universal brotherhood of man and the fatherhood of God to all people.
Guruji put importance of music in singing god's hymns and he put great importance for prayers and devotion to god.
He asks all humans to look up to just God and no one else
He says
"Approach God with perfect humility. Throw yourself on His mercy. Give up pride, show and egoism. Beg for His kindness and favor. Do not think of your own merits, abilities, faculties and capacities. Be prepared to die in the pursuit of His love and union with Him".

tu hi tu hi
was his message about eternal God
GuruJi wrote many hymns which are present in spiritual guru of Sikhs
Guru Granth Sahib(Sikh holy book)
Japji Sahib is a Sikh morning prayer which explains about the ultimate truth of God
Guru ji's message of love to all mankind is
Love the saints of every faith:
Put away thy pride.
Remember the essence of religion
Is meekness and sympathy,
Not fine clothes,
Not the Yogi's garb and ashes,
Not the blowing of the horns,
Not the shaven head,
Not long prayers,
Not recitations and torturings,
Not the ascetic way,
But a life of goodness and purity,
Amid the world's temptations.

Guru ji left for his heavenly abode in 1539 in kartarpur on banks of river Ravi(now in Pakistan)
He taught everyone that
God is neither Hindu nor Mussulman and the path which I follow is God's
On his birthday Crazy creatives remember him with devotion and respect and hope that his message can make world a better place for every one
