The first [[Sikh Guru]] who was born in [[1469]] at [[Nankana sahib]] in present-day [[Pakistan]]. From an early age, he began his mission to change the world for a better place. He preached to all the peoples; to the whole world and is today recognised as an en-lightener of the conciousness of all the peoples of Earth. He travelled many thousands of miles from [[India]] to Mecca, to Turkey, Tibet, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh and many other countries and cities of the old world.  
 
The lives of many thousands of peoples were changed for the better by the knowledge and spiritual wisdom imparted by this wise servant of God. With dedication, for nearly 7 decades, he promoted the message of peace and brotherhood, of equality and compassion, of justice and fairness, of service and prayer ([[simran]]), of devotion and of many other valuable traits of the purest human endeavour, which had been forgotten by most of the inhabitants of the world. {{aowf|Truth is high but higher still is truthful living}}
