Sikhs believe that all subsequent Gurus possessed Guru Nanak's divinity and religious authority Guru Nanak was born on 15th April 1469, now celebrated as Prakash Divas of Guru Nanak, in the village of Rāi Bhōi dī Talwandī, now called Nankana Sahib, near Lahore, Pakistan. Today, his birthplace is marked by Gurdwara Janam Asthan. (Some are of the opinion that 20 October is his enlightenment day rather than his birthday.) His father, Mehta Kalyan Das, popularly shortened to Kalu Mehta, was the patwari (accountant) of crop revenue for the village of Talwandi. Guru Nanak's mother was Tripta Devi and he had one elder sister, Bebe Nanaki. Nanaki married Jai Ram and went to his town of Sultanpur, where he was the steward (modi) to Daulat Khan Lodi, the eventual governor of Lahore. Guru Nanak was attached to his older sister, and, in a traditional Indian fashion, he followed her to Sultanpur to live with her and Jai Ram. Guru Nanak also found work with Daulat Khan, when he was around 16 years old. The earliest biographical sources on the life of Guru Nanak recognized today are the Janamsākhīs (life accounts) and the vārs (expounding verses) of the scribe Bhai Gurdas. The most popular Janamsākhī were written by a close companion of the Guru, Bhai Bala. Guru Nanak's teachings can be found in the Sikh scripture Guru Granth Sahib, a vast collection of revelatory verses recorded in Gurmukhi. Guru Nanak describes the dangers of the Egotism (haumai- 'I am') and calls upon devotees to engage in worship through the word of God (Naam — It implies God), divine order (hukam) and at places divine teacher (guru) and guru's instructions and singing of God's qualities, discarding doubt in the process. However, such worship must be selfless (sewa). The word of God, cleanses the individual to make such worship possible. This is related to the revelation that God is the Doer and without God there is no other. Guru Nanak warned against hypocrisy and falsehood saying that these are pervasive in humanity and that religious actions can also be in vain. It may also be said that ascetic practices are disfavoured by Guru Nanak who suggests remaining inwardly detached whilst living as a householder. Through popular tradition, Guru Nanak's teaching is understood to be practiced in three ways: - Naam Japna: Chanting the Holy Name and thus remembering God at all times (ceaseless devotion to God) - Kirat Karō: Earning/making a living honestly, without exploitation or fraud - Vand Chakkō: Sharing with others, helping those with less who are in need
