What does Guru ji Tell us about SEVA???  You shall find peace, doing Seva (selfless service). Guru Nanak Dev Ji, Siri Raag, SGGS 25

All started with Guru Nanak Dev Ji Main Ideas Cared for the poor and the destitute Spoke strongly against oppression of any kind Against the divisions of religion and Caste Equality of all men and women Spoke for social justice and change His relevance in the world today

Land Divided By Religion

Where Rich used the Poor

Rigid in Religious Practices Strict Rituals Untouchables – Poor and Low Caste Hindus

Sacha Sauda (Profitable “True” Bargain) What better bargain than to feed the poor and the hungry

At Sultanpur ( Nawab Daultat Khan) Storekeeper and Accountant Work, Prayer and Helping the needy Tera-Tera (Number 13 – I am thine) First words after enlightenment “There is no Hindu and No Musalman” Four Udassis (40 years)

He was a people’s Guru. His pulpit was the courtyard of a farmer’s thatched cottage. His temple was open sky. He would share the simple meals with the farmer. He did not distance himself from ordinary people by staying in the houses of the rich. (Bhai Lalo and Malik Bhago) “One receives in accordance to what one does. As one sows so one eats" The cornerstone of his teachings was equality. He said in the eyes of God Everyone is born equal. In a society deeply divided by religion and caste, where the common people faced exploitation and intolerance, his message gave them strength. “Sabh meh jot, jot hai so-e’.

He was a perceptive communicator who realized that the people who came to listen to him were often illiterate. He spoke in simple language that ordinary people could understand and sang to them and shared in their ordinary sorrows and joys. He would use humor (needle to Dhuni Chand) and analogies from their daily lives in their spoken language to explain the Word to them. hir iqsu ibnu koeI nwih fru BRmu Bau dUir kir ] Without that Lord, there is no other at all. Remove your fear, doubt and dread. hir iqsY no swlwih ij quDu rKY bwhir Gir ] Praise that Lord who protects you, inside your home, and outside as well. "To be possessed by any fear but God's is vain; all other fears are but phantoms of the mind"

Messages of Guru Nanak Naam Japna –  Always remember God Vand Chakna –  Share their earnings with others who are less fortunate Kirat Karna –  Live a honest Life and to earn their living with honest labor
