The world was suffering out of hatred, fanaticism, falsehood, hypocrisy and had sunk in wickedness, so he was commanded by God himself to travel and educate and spread the message of the Almighty for the regeneration of humanity on this earth.

Guru Nanak is the the second most travelled person in the world; He travelled more than 28,000 Kms in five major tours of the world during the period from 1500 to 1524.
