- Nanak was born into a Hindu family where in the
village, Hindus and Muslims lived together. When
he was born, he is said not to have cried, but to
have smiled. He also had a halo. A priest said he
would be a king or a Guru. This shows that he
was a good and holy person (the halo). He was
also very special. Nanak wasn't very interested in
school, he preferred to sit and think about God.
This shows that he was definitely very holy, and
loved God very much. When Nanak was a
teenager, his father gave him a lot of money to
spend on things to sell. However, on the way
there, he met 20 starving holy men. He spent all
of his money on them and his father was very
angry. This shows that he really felt strongly
about God, and it teaches Sikhs that money can't
make you happy, but helping others can. The
word 'Guru' means teacher. When Guru Nanak
said "There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim." He
was trying to teach the fact that they both believe
the same thing, they just see it differently.
