Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Historical Period
Mehta Kalu Chand and Mata Tripti Devi welcomed Guru Nanak Dev Ji into the world at Talwandi, Lahore, presently in Pakistan, into a Hindu Kshatriya family. There are two versions of his birthdate: according to the Nanakshahi calendar, he was born on April 14 during Vaisakhi, and according to the Hindu calendar, he was born in the month of Kartik on a full moon night that falls in October or November. The majority of Sikhs commemorate Guru Nanak Dev Ji's birth anniversary during the Kartik month, which occurs in October or November.
Guru Nanak Sahib showed an early interest in meditation, researching religions, studying god, and divine studies. According to local tradition and historians, Mardana became his first follower when he was 34 years old and he started preaching in public. Then, in order to spread his love and his teachings and to enlighten the people, Guru Nanak Sahib journeyed to several states both domestically and overseas.
All of Guru Nanak Sahib's hymns and kirtans have been collected in Japji Sahib, a sacred text for the Sikh faith. Afterwards, Guru Nanak Dev Ji returned to Kartarpur, which is close to his birthplace, and lived there with his family and his first disciple till the time of his passing.
