| [[Guru Nanak in Mecca]]
| |
| | |
| For over twenty years from about 1497, [[Guru Nanak]] had been on his travels. He had visited all parts of [[India]]. He had been to the east as far as Assam and Burma. To the South he had gone as far as [[Sri Lanka]] (previously called Ceylon). To the north he had gone even to places outside India. Crossing the Himalayas, he had visited Tibet and China. He had travelled on foot. What a tireless traveller he was!
| |
| | |
| He had travelled so long and so far, but he was not yet satisfied. He now decided to go towards the west. His aim was to visit [[Muslim]] countries. He wanted to visit also, the Muslim mosques in those countries. He chose Mecca as the first such place to visit. [[Mecca]] is in [[Saudi Arabia]]. It contains the most sacred Muslim mosque called the "[[Kaaba]]" or the House of God. {{aowf|Guru Nanak in Mecca}}

| Spoken by the First Master
| |
| | |
| First, Nanak went to Mecca;
| |
| | |
| Medina he afterwards visited.
| |
| | |
| The lord of Mecca and Medina,
| |
| | |
| Kaarun, he made his disciple.
| |
| | |
| When Nanak was about to depart,
| |
| | |
| Kaarun, the fortunate, thus spoke:
| |
| | |
| Now thou art about to go,
| |
| | |
| But when wilt thou return?
| |
| | |
| Then the Guru thus answered:
| |
| | |
| When I put on my tenth dress
| |
| | |
| I shall be called Gobind Singh; {{aowf|Guru Nanak at Medina}}
