Guru Nanak's revolution

As part of the 550th Prakash Utsav of Guru Nanak, I request Sikh Sangat to share the  revolutionary messages given by Guru Nanak on this forum. These can be used to educate people from other religions and communities about Guru Nanak's glory. 

For example, how he liberated his followers from the shackles of blind faith in empty rituals like fasting, escaping to jungles and gave inspiration to find God while leading a family life. 

Quotes from His bani with English translation would be most welcome. 

If someone can share a power point presentation about this, I would be extremely grateful.

One of my favorite sakhis from guru Nanak Dev Jis janamsakhi is the sakhi of Bhai Lalo and Malik Bhago and how when guru ji squeezed Bhai Lalos bread milk came out of it while when guru ji squeezed Malik Bhagos blood came out of it   Waheguru 

I first heard this sakhi as a monah and it got me really interested in Sikhi

movie scene from Nanak Shah Fakeer and beautiful shabd

Bhai Lalo has been immortalized my Guru Nanak Dev ji by mentioning him in Babur Bani which Guru Nanak Dev Ji wrote after the Malik Bhago incident

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
