Guru Nanak glided across distant lands for over two decades on an altruistic pursuit. To relate with people of diverse cultures and belief systems, he engaged in philosophical and social dialogue. Through the medium of words and music, he gracefully imparted experiential insights, fearlessly challenged the binary constructs of society, and relentlessly opposed gender, religious, racial and class inequalities.
In the 21st century, geopolitical restrictions and cultural mandates impose immense challenges to trace Guru Nanak’s extensive travels. In a 3.5 years effort, a team led by Amardeep Singh and Vininder Kaur have successfully retraced and documented all the geographies and multi-faith sites visited by Guru Nanak.
Guided by Guru Nanak’s philosophy and inspired by historical texts, “Allegory, A Tapestry of Guru Nanak’s Travels”, a 24 episode docuseries sequentially presents the life events of Guru Nanak.
From 14 October 2021, the weekly episode release will be freely available on the website TheGuruNanak.com
