Mevlana
who is also known as Rumi, was a mystic of Islam, but not a Muslim of the orthodox type.
His doctrine advocates unlimited tolerance, positive reasoning, goodness, charity and
awareness through love. To him and to his disciples all religions are more or less truth.
Looking with the same eye on Muslim, Jew and Christian alike, his peaceful and tolerant
teaching has appealed to men of all sects and creeds.

It was during the time when the
world was plunged into the dark world of ignorance, feudal tyranny and oppression,
religious and cultural strife, that Sri Guru Nanak Dev, the founder of Sikhism
, was born. His birthday is celebrated on the full moon night . Celestial music resounded
in heaven. Almighty host of gods, thus, hailed his birth, "God has come to save the
trouble peace to the people of all communities, preached brotherhood and humanitarianism
irrespective of caste, creed, color and economic status. Guru Nanak Dev brought vision of
a common humanity to a society which had become a heaven of violence and strife. He had
faith in humanity. According to him, love of God implied love for his creation. Service of
humanity indicates one's love for God.
"Miti Dhundh Jag
Chanan Hoa
Mitya Andhera Chan Charya"
That is "With the appearance of Guru Nanak Dev, the
mist of ignorance disappeared and there was the light of righteousness, just as darkness
is dispelled instantly when the sun rises and stars disappear". ..................MORE.....
