An inspiring gift to explore the life and legacy of Guru Nanak; winner of the Shap Award 2000 for ‘making an outstanding contribution to the teaching of world religions’ Launched in ebook format to mark the 550th birth anniversary of Guru Nanak, this award-winning title brings together diverse images, historical and contemporary artwork and themed reflections in thirteen thought-provoking chapters. Born in the Punjab in 1469, Guru Nanak Dev Ji, as he is respectfully addressed, was the first of ten founders of the Sikh faith. The broader significance of his legacy is explored through a series of chapter headings, led by questions such as: - Who was Guru Nanak? - Does life have a meaning? - Can our specific experiences teach us universal truths? - Are labels and uniforms necessary? - Do we need a sense of direction? - Rituals and institutions: are they a help or a hindrance? - How can we sum up Guru Nanak’s message? First published in 1999 to mark the tercentenary of the founding of the Khalsa order, Guru Nanak remains an informative and inspiring resource in the fields of values education and religious studies. Now available as a beautifully illustrated, full-colour ebook, it also makes a thoughtful digital gift that Sikh families across the diaspora can share with anyone intrigued to learn more about the founding vision and values of the Sikh faith.
