TRAVELS OF GURU NANAK
Guru Nanak Dev saw the world suffering out of hatred, fanaticism, falsehood, and hypocrisy. The world had sunk in wickedness and sin. So he set out for the regeneration of humanity on this earth. He carried the torch of truth, heavenly love, peace, and joy for mankind.
Guruji embarked on his Divine Mission and went towards east, west, north, and south and visited various centers of Hindus, Muslims, Buddhists, Jains, Sufis, Yogis, and Sidhas. He met people of different religions, tribes, cultures, and races. He traveled on foot with his Muslim companion named Mardana, a minstrel. His travels are called Udasis.
In his first Udasi (travel), Guru Nanak covered east and south of India and returned home after spending a little more than eight years. But there were thousands and thousands of others waiting for the Divine Master for comfort, love, and salvation. The Guru, therefore, told his parents, "There is a call from Heaven, I must go whither He directs me to go."
