Answer 1

Nanak Dev, founder of the Sikh religion was born in 1469, in Rai Bhoi di Talvandi (now Nankana Sahib), 65 kilometres from Lahore (now in Pakistan). He began intermingling with holy men of both Hindu and Islamic beliefs at a very early age. Thus, he was influenced by both religions in his formulation of Sikhism.

For some time, Nanak worked as an accountant of Nawab Daulat Khan Lodhi, the Afghan chief at Sultanpur. There he started associating with Mardana, a Muslim family servant. Mardana was a rebec player. Nanak started composing hymns and Mardana gave them the soul of music and the two started community hymn singing. They organised a kitchen wherein both Hindus and Muslims ate together as if belonging to the same community.

At Sultanpur he had his first vision of "The One God Whose Name Is True", in which he was ordered to preach to mankind. He went around preaching in different towns of Punjab and finally settled down with his family at Kartarpur (Abode of His Creator), a township on the banks of the river Ravi.

Guru Angad
Guru Nanak Dev at the time of his death nominated Angad as the second Guru of the Sikhs. He remained the religious head for thirteen years from 1539 to 1552. On the advice of Nanak, Angad left Kartarpur and lit the Guru's lamp in Khadur. Angad spread the message of Guru Nanak. He started a regular system of collecting offerings to meet their expenses including that of ' Langar ' (distribution of food).

He made copies of the Guru Nanak's hymns and distributed one to each centre. These scripts had no precise alphabets of their own. Angad took the 35 letters of the poems and hymns composed by Nanak, selected the appropriate letters from other scripts of northern India and invented the Gurumukhi (from the mouth of the Guru) script. Angad's compilations became the centrepoint of the sacred writings of the Sikhs.

He was a keen admirer of physical fitness. He ordered his disciples to take part in drill and competitive games after the morning service. At the time of his demise, he nominated a seventy-three year old disciple, Amar Dass, to succeed him as the third Guru.

Answer 2

The founder of the Sikh religion, Guru Nanak was born on April 15, 1469 in the Western Punjab village of Talwandi. He was born to a simple Hindu family. His father Mehta Kalian Das was an accountant in the employment of the local Muslim authorities. From an early age Guru Nanak made friends with both Hindu and Muslim children and was very inquisitive about the meaning of life. At the age of six he was sent to the village school teacher for schooling in reading and writing in Hindi and mathematics. He was then schooled in the study of Muslim literature and learned Persian and Arabic. He was an unusually gifted child who learned quickly and often question his teachers. At age 13 it was time for Guru Nanak to be invested with the sacred thread according to the traditional Hindu custom.
