“I am neither a child, a young man, nor an ancient; nor am I of any caste”

Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s birthday is celebrated on 14^th April and is regarded as one of the greatest religious innovators of all time and the founder of the Sikh religion.

Nanak was an original spiritual thinker and expressed his thoughts in extraordinary poetry that forms the basis of Sikh scripture.

The most famous teachings attributed to Guru Nanak are that there is only one God, and that all human beings can have direct access to God with no need of rituals or priests. His most radical social teachings denounced the caste system and taught that everyone is equal, regardless of caste or gender.
