Guru Nanak Dev Ji's Age ?

[B4ND4]

How old were Guru Ji when they first composed bani??

[Wicked Warrior]

Wasn't he like twelve when he read the Bani about the Janeau? Can't remember what it was called but think that was the first Bani uttered that was later recorded into Guru Maharaj.

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo jee kee Fateh!

Well I heard that Japjee sahib was the first bani that Guru Nanak recieved from Waheguroo... as it was the sudden burst of "inspiration"... does anyone know when this was written?

Waheguroo jee ka Khalsa!

it is said that guru sahib disappeared in a river ( i forget name of the river ) for a few days. and when he came out he said, something along the lines of 'there is no hindu, no muslim'

jupji sahib is actually a question answer session. the first bit, is guru sahib answering questions of siddhas, who had been meditating for thousands of years and had spiritual powers. i'm not sure which bit tho, all i know is its the in the beginning. and some parts are answers to question sikhs had asked guru sahib.

but i'm not sure of any dates :umm:

Each day before sunrise, Guru Nanak would go to the river to bathe in the cold water and sing God's praises. But one day he disappeared and could not be found. His clothes were still lying next to the riverbank, but there was no sign of Nanak. His friends walked up and down calling , "Nanak, Nanak," hoping against hope that they would find him. They grew afraid that he had drowned.But Nanak was far from the reach of any of them. He was in a divine trance in which he was sitting in God's own presence. God gave him a cup of nectar and said, "I am with you. Go and repeat My Name, and teach others to do the same." Nanak was so filled with love for God that he sang the first part of the Japji: "Ek Ong Kaar, Sat Naam, Kartaa Purakh, Nirbhao, Nirvair, Akaal Moorat, Ajoonee, Saibhang, Gurprasaad, Jap. Aad Sach, Jugaad Sach, Haibee Sach, Naanak Hosee Bhee Sach!" God looked upon him with infinite kindness and said, "My Name is God, and you are the divine Guru."After three days, Nanak came out of the river. The villagers gasped in disbelief. They had given up any hope of ever seeing him again. For a long time, he said nothing. Finally, when he did speak, he said, "There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim." From that day on, he spread the message to everyone that all are equal, and equally loved by God, no matter how they worship him. He also taught that the best way to show their love for God is by praising His Name.

Jassa bhaaji, I agree with you on that one

I think wicked warrior is right or might be before that also when they were 4-5 years old and first gone to a maulawi for studies inturn taught maulwi how alphabet tell something about lord.

But then again Gavnitsingh isn't wrong either. Its not like w/e he said and did before he went in beas river for 3 days, had nothing to do with Waheguru. Every single word off Guru Nanak was Bani in itself and if you take it this way you can't impose an age to his bani ucharan.
