Born near Lahore, Nānak experienced a call while bathing in the river at Sultanpur and is said to have declared, in paraphrase, that there is no Hindu and no Muslim. He travelled widely, singing hymns with the Muslim musician Mardana, then settled at Kartarpur, where he founded a community of work, worship and shared meals.
