Inner strength - Guru Nanak#tag while passing on his Guruship to Guru Angad Devji suggested that Guru Angadji go back to Khaddor Sahib area to do the missionary work for Sikhism. Guru Nanak was much worried about the influence of Sarwariyas( grave worshippers) on ignorant people. By Sikh missionary work you can emancipate people from the curse of ignorance. Guru Angad ji simplified the Punjabi Mahjani script into 35 akhri and a new script was born and it was taught to people in that area. Later this script came to be known as Gurmukhi. In those days only Brahman and upper castes could learn to read and right. This was a challenge by Gurus to the age old supremacy complex of high caste Hindus. It was broken but the sway of sarwarias is still immanent in this area of Majha. I shall mention few of these grave traditional places and you can judge that the inner strength required to cast away fear, superstitious beliefs is still lacking in Sikhs. Each one of us if bring Guru's teachings in a right way to implement within our families that will be right tribute to the great revolutionary ideas that Guru Nanak tried to infuse in our society.
