The creator: Guru Nanak Dev Ji

  

Mehlaa 2

“If a hundred moons were to rise and a thousand suns appeared, even with such light, there would still be pitch darkness without the Guru.”
(Translated from Gurbani)

These profound lines remind us that no matter how much external light surrounds us, without the guidance of a Guru, life remains in spiritual darkness.

Just as a candle cannot burn without a flame, we cannot truly live without spirituality. Spirituality plays a vital role in our lives. When everything seems to fall apart and hope seems distant, it is spirituality that gives us strength to endure and persevere.

Guru Nanak Dev Ji, the first Guru and founder of Sikhism, introduced the concept of “One God” and explained the existence of a powerful, omnipresent Lord. He dedicated his entire life to spreading the divine principles of truth, love, and unity.

Teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji

Kirat Karo (Earn a Living Honestly)

Guru Nanak Dev Ji emphasized the importance of leading an honest life. He taught that earning a livelihood through fair and truthful means is the foundation of a righteous life. During his four journeys (Chaar Udaasian), he spread the message that to find the divine presence within, one must live truthfully and never indulge in dishonest practices.

Naam Japo (Chant the Holy Name)

Chanting the holy name of the Lord was a central teaching of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. He believed that meditating on the name of God purifies the soul, dispels negative thoughts, and guides us toward a life of truth and peace. Naam Simran, or remembering the divine, refreshes our spirit and strengthens our connection to the Almighty.

Vand Chakko (Share with Others and Help the Needy)

Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught the principle of sharing and helping others, especially those in need. This act of kindness extends beyond humans to include all creatures—animals, birds, and nature itself. By helping others, we express gratitude for God’s creation and elevate our own lives. It is rightly said, “Service to man is service to God.”


This November marks the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Let us honor his teachings by embodying his principles in our daily lives. Whether it’s living honestly, meditating, or helping others, every small effort contributes to a better society and strengthens our faith in the Almighty.

Happy Gurpurab!
