An individual from the Khatri (exchanging) rank and a long way from unskilled, Nanak was not a commonplace Sant, yet he encountered a similar soul of God in everything outside him and everything inside him as did others in the development he established. He was conceived in the Punjab kaum de heere, which has been the home of the Sikh confidence from that point onward.

Nanak made numerous songs, which were gathered in the Adi Granth by Guru Arjan, the fifth Sikh Guru, in 1604. Nanak’s origin of these works is certain, and it is likewise sure that he visited journey destinations all through India. Past this almost no is known. A mind-blowing narrative has been the envisioned result of the amazing janam-sakhis (“biographies”), which were created somewhere in the range of 50 and 80 years after the Guru’s passing in 1539, however just a small portion of the material found in them can be attested as real.

The first janam-sakhis were credited to the long lasting sidekick of Nanak, Bhai Bala (1466–1544), who made a record out of the Guru’s life that was loaded up with marvels and miracle stories. Before the part of the bargain century, the Bala variant had started to make genuine unease among Sikh researchers, who were extraordinarily mitigated when a progressively discerning rendition, since known as the Puratan (“Ancient”) convention, was found in London, where it had touched base as a present for the library of the East India Company.

In spite of the fact that it also contained awesome components, it had far less marvel stories than the Bala variant, and it introduced an increasingly conceivable record of the course of Guru Nanak’s voyages. At the point when enhanced by references from a talk by the writer Bhai Gurdas (1551–1637), the Puratan appears to give an agreeable portrayal of the life of Guru Nanak.
