Guru Nanak Sahib

Guru Nanak

Guru Nanak Sahib established a Divine rule of truth that proclaimed Creator and creation’s Oneness. He confronted hypocrisy, challenged oppression and declared alliance with the downtrodden. He asserted everyone’s right to dignity, liberty, justice, and above all divinity. He enjoyed dual sovereignty of Raj-Jog (Rule-Divine Union), and bestowed it on everyone who submitted to the truth.
