Baba Guru Nanak established many norms in Sikh Religion, write briefly about them?
Answers
Answer:
He was born in Talwandi (Nankana Sahib in Pakistan). He travelled widely before establishing a centre at Kartarpur (Dera Baba Nanak on the river Ravi). He established a regular worship for his followers there that consisted of singing of his own hymns. They ate together in the common kitchen called langar irrespective of their caste, creed or gender. The sacred space thus created by him was called dharmsal, now called Gurudwara.
Before his death, he appointed one of his followers, Lehna as his successor. Lehna came to be known as Guru Angad, signifying that he was a part of Baba Guru Nanak himself. Guru Angad compiled Guru Nanak’s compositions and also added his own compositions in a new script called Gurumukhi. Guru Arjan in 1604 compiled the compositions of all the three successors of Guru Angad. To this compilation were added the writings of other people like Shaikh Farid, Sant Kabir, Bhagat Namdev and Guru Tegh Bahadur. This compilation was authenticated in 1704 by his son and successor Guru Gobind Singh. It is now called Guru Granth Sahib, the holy scripture of Sikhs.

Answer:
Nanak is said to have travelled far and wide across Asia teaching people the message of ik onkar (ੴ, 'one God'), who dwells in every one of his creations and constitutes the eternal Truth.[2] With this concept, he would set up a unique spiritual, social, and political platform based on equality, fraternal love, goodness, and virtue.[3][4][5]
Nanak is said to have travelled far and wide across Asia teaching people the message of ik onkar (ੴ, 'one God'), who dwells in every one of his creations and constitutes the eternal Truth.[2] With this concept, he would set up a unique spiritual, social, and political platform based on equality, fraternal love, goodness, and virtue.[3][4][5]Nanak's words are registered in the form of 974 poetic hymns, or shabda, in the holy text of Sikhism, the Guru Granth Sahib, with some of the major prayers being the Japji Sahib (jap, 'to recite'; ji and sahib are suffixes signifying respect); the Asa di Var ('ballad of hope'); and the Sidh Gosht ('discussion with the Siddhas'). It is part of Sikh religious belief that the spirit of Nanak's sanctity, divinity, and religious authority had descended upon each of the nine subsequent Gurus when the Guruship was devolved on to them.
