About the Book: The Book of Nanak
Born into a society caught in the throes of orthodoxy and ritualism and further
crippled by child marriage, infanticide, and a rigid caste system, Guru Nanak
was deeply spiritual from an early age. The outpouring of Nanaks faith evolved
into the universal message of the omnipresence and existence of one God, of true
love, equality and compassion, which appealed to Hindus and Muslims alike.
Drawing upon the various myths and legends contained in anecdotal biographies
and placing them in as precise a historical framework as possible, The Book of
Nanak traces the chronology of the main events of Nanaks life.
