Tension between Hindus and Muslims had escalated, leading to greater polarisation of the two religions. Guru Nanak preached that God is One, He is theTruth, and He is nirankari or formless. He advocated a casteless society, based on brotherhood and equality. Nanak travelled far and wide, showing mankind the path to salvation. Guru Nanak was a unique messiah, who advocated a gentle, peaceful path to God-realisation.This book gives us an insight into the fascinating life of a great Master.
