He sang to the Lord and taught us, ordinary mortals, the virtues of peace, love and harmony. Throughout his life, Guru Nanak shared his blessings of divine knowledge through mystic and soulfully divine music.

Nanak traveled the world to spread the essence of 'Ik Onkar' (there's but One God) as a philosophy and way of life. Nanak Shah Fakir is based on the life and teachings of Guru Nanak who Born in 1469 A.D. The film couldn't have been made without the Almighty's blessings.
