Born in Rai Bhoi di Talvandi, now Nankana Sahib in Pakistan, in 1469, Guru Nanak is the founder of the Sikh religion and the 1st in the lineage of 10 Gurus. His teachings are expressed in devotional hymns and his message of peace, love and tolerance is as relevant today as ever. Guru Nanak said, "The name of God is like the mighty ship, whosoever embarks, shall cross the ocean of mundane existence". Guru Nanak's birthday is celebrated on the full moon after Diwali.
