Question
Explain the teaching of Guru Nanak’s
✓
Answer
Guru Nanak preached that God is without form and wanted his followers to practice meditation upon the name of God for peace and ultimate salvation.
Guru Nanak had great contempt for Vedic rituals and caste discrimination. The teachings of Guru Nanak formed the basis of Sikhism, a new religious order, founded in the late 15th century.
His and his successors’ teachings are collected in the Guru Granth Sahib, which is the holy book of the Sikhs.
Guru Nanak’s teachings were spread through the group singing of hymns, called kirtan.
The devotees gathered in Dharamshala’s (rest houses), which became gurudwaras in course of time.
