Loss of immense religious heritage has been a recurring regret for Singapore-based author Amardeep Singh during his travels to gurdwaras in Pakistan and beyond

Tracing Guru Nanak’s footsteps across nine countries and over 150 inter-faith sites, writer Amardeep Singh finds anew the relevance of universality preached by the first Sikh guru.

All faith traditions gathered to do prayers and do a Unity Walk together to celebrate the 550th Birth Anniversary of the founder of Sikh faith Guru Nanak.

The keynote speaker at the event was the Mayor of London, Sadiq Khan, who spoke about the importance of the 550th anniversary as well as the relevance of the Guru’s philosophy and teachings in the present day.

In a nutshell, Baba Nanak is more than a religious figure; secular dimensions of his life and work are as significant as the religious ones. By exploring him in his multi- dimensionality, we will bring to the fore the actual historical figure; Nanak, the seer and visionary, the poet and musician, the patriot and resister, and the organic intellectual and exponent of gender equality. In his own words,“Let’s savour each shade [of life] if the bountiful Lord allows”. — [email protected]
