Did (Guru) Nanak Intend to Start a New Religion?

Dr.I.J. Singh

What is the presentation about?

It is not uncommon to find scholars, both Sikh and non-Sikh, asserting that Guru Nanak did not intend to found a new way of life and, in that sense, he was a reformer par excellence but not the founder of a religion.  

We will examine this as a serious misreading of history supported by the argument that institutional development of Sikhi as a major religion only becomes clearer with the latter Gurus. The clarity of Guru Nanak’s vision and goal is obvious from his lifetime as well.

Sikhs and non-Sikhs that are curious about the antecedents of Sikhi are invited to attend this webinar, for a conversation on Sikhi– the faith and its way of life – as a separate major faith among the many others of humankind.

Who is the presenter?
