Guru Nanak Dev
From Simple English Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Guru Nanak Dev (October 20 1469 in Nankana Sahib, Punjab, Pakistan – September 7 1539 in Kartarpur, Punjab, India) was the founder of Sikhism, and the first of the ten Sikh Gurus.
Beside followers of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev is considered holy by Punjabi Hindus and Sahajdhari Sindhis across the Indian subcontinent.[1] His main teaching to the world was written down to be "devotion of thought and having good actions as the first of our jobs".
