Sikhisme : Guru Nanak (15 de abril de 1469 — 22 de setembro de 1539) foi o fundador do siquismo e o primeiro dos gurus siques. Seu nascimento é celebrado mundialmente no Kartik Puranmashi, o dia de lua cheia que cai anualmente em datas diferentes no mês de Katak, entre outubro e novembro no calendário gregoriano. Guru Nanak viajou por muitos lugares ensinando a mensagem do Deus único que vive em cada uma de suas criações e constitui a Verdade eterna.[3] Ele assentou as bases para uma plataforma espiritual, social, e política baseada na igualdade, no amor fraterno, na bondade e na virtude. É parte da crença religiosa sique que o espírito de santidade, divindade e autoridade religiosa de Guru Nanak subsistiu sobre cada um dos nove Gurus subsequentes quando a condição lhes foi passada.
