A robust effort to understand and communicate the message of the founder of the fifth largest religion in the world. Allegory, A Tapestry of Guru Nanak’s Travels, took me back five centuries, even as it connected me with the present-day world. In these episodes, the journey is visual, musical, and above all, spiritual—with appropriate shabads (verses) and their translation enlightening the viewer. See it to understand the world, and yourself.

The unravelling of the ‘Allegory’ is a journey steeped in love. What strikes most about this journey in the footsteps of Baba Guru Nanak Ji is the fluidity and the essence of Oneness that existed across a region presently torn by divisions. The docuseries brings forward the togetherness and melts the borders. It connects with the viewer in myriad ways- sayings, music, language, culture and philosophies.

Indeed, ‘Nanak Shah Fakir’ is ‘Hinduan Da Guru, Musalmanan Da Peer’ – Guru Nanak is the spiritual Master of both, Hindus and Muslims.

Allegory' is perhaps one of the most fascinating docuseries ever made combining a spiritual, historical, and geographical context. As it unfolds one feels one is travelling with Guru Nanak Dev Ji on his odysseys, absorbing the deep narratives of his timeless universal message. This is a stunning docuseries in terms of visual documentation and oral narration of his teachings.

I encourage all to view it because this is a window into our collective past, showcasing the beauty and wisdom lost to a lot of those living in these regions.

A must-watch!

Allegory' is a gift for present and future generations.

for Allegory, A Tapestry of Guru Nanak’s Travels

Abstract

“Dating” as commonly understood is not a Punjabi concept. For Sikh families following Punjabi traditions, Dating is commonly misunderstood both by parents and the young Sikh boys and girls. This misunderstanding often leads to conflict and mistakes in finding the right life partner.
In this talk we will seek guidance from Gurbani about finding the life partner. We will define the purpose and process of Dating in the Sikh context. We will define the roles that both parents and children need to play to help the young find the right life partners. The talk should be of interest to both parents and young adults

Nanak’s guidance about how to live your life is both simple as well as unparalleled. Your success in life depends upon surrendering to God. Surrendering to God means you don’t worry about the outcome of your efforts and don’t lose sleep if things are not going your way. Also, do not assume yourself a genius if things fall into place according to your plan. Simply accept life as it unfolds; without complaints, discontentment, or resistance. Learn to save yourself from the mental struggle once you have given your best effort and accept the outcome without raising any doubts in your mind, remembering that God is far vaster than our mind and we rarely see the hidden patterns of God’s will.

The film, titled Allegory — A Tapestry of Guru Nanak’s Travels, will attempt to unravel the hidden meaning behind the journeys Nanak undertook.

• Under the shadows of guns, Amardeep is shooting for a documentary in Afghanistan, tracing the legacy of love and brotherhood of Guru Nanak’s footprints across nine countries.

• He attempts to document the impact of Nanak’s words five centuries later; to record the remnants of syncretic culture lost to the melee of the Partition and other geo-political developments.

• The film, titled Allegory — A Tapestry of Guru Nanak’s Travels, will attempt to unravel the hidden meaning behind the journeys Nanak undertook.

When Hindus, Sikhs and Muslims were forced to leave their home and the land of their forefathers, what did they carry as souvenirs? Nothing, but a few seeds of memories. But what they left behind in 1947 was an immeasurable wealth of culture — a syncretic lifestyle evolved and enriched over centuries.
