India is blessed with a rich spiritual legacy.Many great masters have arisen here,pursuing different paths in their quest for the Ultimate Truth.Yet their message has always been one of immense tolerance and compassion. Guru Nanak was born in the 15th century during a period of political and religious turmoil in India.Tension between Hindus and Muslims had escalated,leading to a greater polarization of the two religions.Nanak created synthesis of Hinduism and Islam with the belief that God is one.He advocated a casteless society based on truth,brotherhood and equality.He spent twenty three years travelling not only in India but also in Tibet,Ceylon and the Central Asian countries of Arabia,Iraq and Iran,preaching the truth as he had perceived it and showing mankind the path to salvation. This book tells the fascinating story of a unique messiah who showed a gentle,peaceful path to God-realization.The world has far greater need of Nanak's message and teachings now than ever before.
