Guru Nának (1469-1539) fue el primer guru o guía del sikhismo (de sishya, discípulo).

Guru Nanak (Punjabi: ਗੁਰੂ ਨਾਨਕ) is the founder of the religion of Sikhism and is the first of the ten Sikh Gurus, the eleventh guru being the living Guru, Guru Granth Sahib. Guru Nanak travelled far and wide teaching people the message of one God who dwells in every one of God's creations and constitutes the eternal Truth. He setup a unique spiritual, social, and political platform based on equality, fraternity love, goodness, and virtue.
Guru Nanak’s teachings can be found in the Sikh scripture, Guru Granth Sahib, as a vast collection of revelatory verses recorded in Gurmukhi.
Through popular tradition, Nanak’s teaching is understood to be practised in three ways: * Vaṇḍ Chakkō: Sharing with others, helping those with less who are in need * Kirat Karō: Earning/making a living honestly, without exploitation or fraud * Naam Japna: Meditating on God's name to control your evils to eliminate suffering and live a happy life.
This book is the only thing I know that has been translated into Spanish from the work of the founder of Sikhism. Therefore, I value it, but I have to admit that it is a very introductory and poor edition that does not go into depth.
REVIEW EN ESPAÑOL:
Este libro es lo único que conozco traducido al español de la obra del fundador de sijismo. Por lo tanto, lo valoro en sí mismo, pero tengo que admitir que es una edición muy introductoria y pobre que no profundiza.
