One small point though. Instead of refering to Dhan Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj as 'Nanak', could you change it to Guru Nanak Dev Ji Maharaj?

I do apologize for that, that's how it was referred in the book that I have. I think that author was trying to make a point by using 'Nanak' rather than Guru Nanak Dev Ji. I will change it. Thanks!

Great post. Thank you for sharing. No offence to anyone here, but I have seen Guru Nanak Sahib mentioned as "Baba Nanak" or just "Nanak" many places. I don't think it matters since the love for the Guru Sahib in the hearts and minds of someone is more important than the actual title. Guru doesn't become any greater or lesser with extra titles.

These are some really nice stories - do you know the name of the book? I think I'd like to get a copy! :)

Anyways, you have a beautiful blog Fauj Kaur, keep it up!

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa
Waheguru Ji Ke Fateh

It's a Children's Book. I bought it a long time ago. The name is: The Story of Guru Nanak by Hemkunt Press 1995 by Mala Singh.

Something that I never noticed about the book till now, because obviously I had to look up who wrote the book, the author dedicated this book to his grandmother, because his grandmother once said to him "...if you want to remeber me after I am gone, write a book on Guru Nanak Dev Ji, so that children all over the world know the life of a man who loved God by loving His Creatures..." - Waheguru

Thank you for editing the post Fauj Kaur.

Sikhsrus I totally agree with you in that titles mean nothing - I'm stupid. But just one question when you speak to your parents do you call them by their first name or do you refer to them as Mummy Ji etc? I hope that makes it more clear.
