In 1913, Punjab Historical Society, Lahore organized a seminar on the teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji in Shimla. British Governor of Punjab was the president of seminar. Sardar Joginder Singh, a famous Sikh scholar put light on the life and teachings of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Then, Ram Sharan Dass, a famous Hindu leader, said, “Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj was a great reformer of Hindu religion”. Nawab Zulfi Ali Khan, Nawab of Malerkotla, criticized Ram Sharan Dass by saying, “I do not agree with it. Guru Sahib was a great Muslim saint. Bhai Mardana Ji, a low caste Muslim was always with him. His first disciple Rai Bular was a also a Muslim”. Then, the British Governor who was a Christian, said, “I don’t agree with both. I have studied the writings of Guru Sahib and I have no doubt in saying that Guru Sahib was a great Christian Saint”.
This simply shows that Guru Sahib was the prophet not only of Sikhs but for whole humanity. His teachings are for whole humanity not only Sikhs. That’s why this Prophet went to whole world to eradicate Darkness and give the Divine Message of Universal Brotherhood. He went to India, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq, Arab, Africa, Europe, Tibet, China, Russia, Sri Lanka, Bhutan, Burma, Myanmar etc.
