A Critical Review of NANAK AND HIS PHILOSOPHY

Nanak is known to many scholars and writers as a mystic, reformer, revolutionary, and the founder of Sikhism. However, Dr Devinder Singh Chahal discovered that Nanak, at the age of 9, refused to wear Janeo (sacred thread) and did not accept the Hindu religion, even though he did not find any religion at all. On the other hand, Nanak founded “Sikhi” (enlightening philosophy), and “Sikhism” was established later, especially by Guru Ram Das and Guru Arjun, as discussed in Chapter 12. For Dr Chahal, Nanak is a Guru, Satguru, and Natural philosopher in Chapters 2 and 4.
