Description
In this book for children, the life and teachings of Guru Nanak are retold simply and lucidly and accompanied by outstanding illustrations by the celebrated painter, Arpana Caur. From his early days, Nanak marveled at the beauty of nature and sought answers to the many questions that trouble him: Who made the sun and moon? Who made the earth and all the creatures in it? Where do we go when we die? Why are some considered high-born and others low-born ? Why can’t Hindus and Muslims live like brothers?
Nanak’s teachings of love and brotherhood led to the founding of a new faith where Hindus and Muslims, men and women, the rich and the poor, high-born and low-born are treated as equals.
The evocative and beautiful illustrations by Arpana Caur capture Guru Nanak’s love for nature and he incidents associated with his life.
