I sit down with my dad sometimes and when we start to hear the stories, and every so often, like, when we heard the name of the story we'd be like, "Dad, mom, I don't know all about this story," they'll explain it to us. Guru Ram Das was the fourth of the Sikh gurus and was born in 1534. He founded the city of Amritsar in northwest India, which is now the holy city for the Sikhs and also started construction of the Golden Temple. This is a very important temple for Sikhs, and still stands today! It is open for anyone to visit - every day of the year. It even stayed open in the Coronavirus pandemic. Guru Nanak’s father tried to teach him to help with his business. He sent him to the market to buy food and then sell it for a profit. Instead of selling the food, Guru Nanak gave it to the holy men he met at the side of the road. They were meditating and had very little. Guru Nanak’s father was unhappy with him as he hadn’t learned about profit. The first of the Gurus and the founder of the Sikh religion was Guru Nanak. He was born at Talwandi (now known as Nankana Sahib in Pakistan) on October 20, 1469. Under Guru Angad’s instruction, his wife Mata Khivi further developed langar– or the community meal. In India, people of different castes or social classes did not eat meals together. Guru Nanak began a tradition of having people of all castes sit together and eat together – as a way to create community among people and break the false divisions of social class. Mata Khivi was instrumental in seeing that this tradition of eating together flourished into an institution during the second Guru’s reign.Shabads in 30 Ragaas [8 Vaars Siri, Gaurhi, Bihagda, Vadhans, Sorath, Bilawal, Sarang, Kanra Raga + Ghodian, Karhale, Banjara, and 4 Laavan] Guru Nanak began teaching the importance of the equality of all people, regardless of their caste, religion or gender. He taught that everyone is created by God’s will and therefore we must all be treated equally and with respect.

The living Guru of the Sikhs, the book is held in great reverence by Sikhs and treated with the utmost respect. At the end of his life, in 1708, Guru Gobind Singh passed the mantle of the Guruship to the Siri Guru Granth Sahib. This ended the time of the physical Gurus of the Sikhs. And began the reign of the Shabad Guru, itself, as the Spiritual Light and Guide for the Sikh community. Guru Ram Das is the fourth Sikh Guru. He was born in Lahore, Pakistan. His father’s name was Hardas Ji Sodhi and his mother was Mata Daya Kaur Ji. He married the daughter of Guru Amar Das, Bibi Bhani Ji. Parrinder, Geoffrey (30 August 1983).

He did not claim to be Hindu or Muslim, but as someone who believed in God and truth. He also preached to people that Hindus, Muslims and all people who believe in God are equal. Guru Nanak travelled all over India and the Middle East speaking out against religious rituals, pilgrimages and the caste system. The caste system was how society was divided into different groups based on wealth or what people did as a job. He spoke to many different people, from Muslims and Hindus to Buddhists and Jains. When he spoke to people he never asked them to follow him, instead, he told them to remain true to their faiths and to carry on believing in their God.

Guru Hargobind created the martial art of the Sikhs – called Gatka. He also built the Akal Takhat, or the Throne of the Undying One, next to the Harimandir Sahib. The throne was a statement that the Sikh community was sovereign in its spiritual identity, and was self-governing in its social/political identity. This principle came to be known as Miri Piri. It was a direct statement to the ruling Emperor of the time that the Sikhs considered no one to have higher authority in their lives than God and Guru.Artists' representations also reflect painting styles of the time, such as the Mughal style. So there are many reasons why the pictures/paintings of our Gurus don't look EXACTLY like each Guru really looked. I never knew about Guru Nanak's arms, but I am told that Guru Ram Das had a really LONG beard, so most pictures of him have this and that's how I know it is a representation of him. Guru Gobind Singh is OFTEN shown on his horse, Guru Hargobind always has 2 swords, etc. So certain things are consistent for each Guru in the paintings and pictures we have. He was born in 1534. Guru ji founded the city of Amritsar and started the construction of the famous Golden Temple at Amritsar, the holy city of the Sikhs. He requested the, Muslim Sufi, Mian Mir to lay the cornerstone of the Harmandir Sahib. In the story of Guru Nanak and the Boulder there’s a lesson about selfishness and pride and how these attitudes can be challenged or changed. The Ten Gurus left their teaching in the Guru Granth Sahib, which is the ‘living Guru of the Sikhs’ today (not just a book!). Over 20 million Sikh people try to follow their Gurus.
