This webinar analyzes some of the beautiful illustrations of Guru Nanak's life from the B-40 Janamsakhi (dated 1733). Not only do these images reflect the core values of Sikhism, they are also vitally important in shaping and crystallizing them for future generations. We will discuss how the B-40 illustrations underscore the secular structures of Sikh metaphysics, and reveal the coalescence of poetry and physicality.
