Website Updates. Guru Nanak's Disappearance Every morning, Guru Nanak got up early and went to take a bath in the river. Tweets by DiscoverSikhism. One day Nanak went to bathe in a river, accompanied by a friend. Nanak mysteriously disappeared, and his frantic friend, after several attempts to rescue him, returned to Sultanpur with the dreadful news and the clothes Nanak had left on the bank.
Three days later, however, Nanak reappeared. Guru Nanak described his mystical encounter with God in one of his hymns: He was taken to the court of God and given a cup of divine nectar called amrit to drink. With this charge, Guru Nanak left his job and spent many years traveling throughout India and, according to early Sikh sources, even to the Middle East. He preached his message in the form of beautiful hymns called shabads. According to tradition, he was accompanied by Mardana, a musician and a Muslim by birth.
Guru Nanak sang of the oneness of God, the equality of all people, the futility of empty ritualism. The stories that grew among the company of his disciples give a glimpse of the wisdom of his teachings.
It is said, for example, that he went as far as Makkah. He was shaken awake by an official who scolded him for sleeping with his feet in the direction of the holy house of God. Eventually Guru Nanak settled down again with his family in the Punjab. He became a farmer and established a village of Sikh disciples called Kartarpur where he continued preaching.
Disciples gathered around him in a community of work and worship. He devoted the last 20 years of his life to the shaping of the first Sikh community.
Before he died, Guru Nanak appointed one of his faithful followers as successor in the care and leadership of the community. Guru Nanak died when he was seventy. According to Sikh tradition, on the day of his death, the community gathered around Nanak while he reassured them. Those of Hindu background insisted they should cremate his body, while Muslims wanted to bury him as a great saint.
