Guru Nanak was born on 15th April 1469, now celebrated as Prakash Divas of Guru Nanak, into a Bedi Kshatriya familyin the village of Rai Bhoi di Talwandi, now called Nankana Sahib, near Lahore, Pakistan.Today, his birthplace is marked by Gurdwara Janam Asthan. His father, Mehta Kalyan Das Bedi, popularly shortened to Kalu Mehta,was the patwari (accountant) of crop revenue for the village of Talwandi in the employment of a Muslim landlord of that area, Rai Bular Bhatti.Guru Nanak Dev Ji's mother was Tripta Devi and he had one elder sister, Bebe Nanaki.
Nanaki married Jai Ram and went to his town of Sultanpur, where he was the steward (modi) to Daulat Khan Lodi, the eventual governor of Lahore. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was attached to his older sister, and, in a traditional Indian fashion, he followed her to Sultanpur to live with her and Jai Ram. Guru Nanak Dev Ji also work with Daulat Khan, when he was around 16 years old. This became a formative time for Guru Nanak Dev Ji, as the Puratan Janam Sakhi suggests, and as evidenced in his numerous allusions to governmental structure in his hymns, most likely gained at this time.
The earliest biographical sources on the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji recognized today are the Janamsakhis (life accounts) and the vārs (expounding verses) of the scribe Bhai Gurdas. The most popular Janamsākhī were allegedly written by a close companion of the Guru, Bhai Bala. However, the writing style and language employed have left scholars such as Max Arthur Macauliffe certain that they were composed after his death.
Bhai Gurdas, a purported scribe of the Gurū Granth Sahib Ji, also wrote about Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s life in his vārs. Although these too were compiled some time after Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s time, they are less detailed than the Janamsākhīs. The Janamsākhīs recount in minute detail the circumstances of the birth of the guru. The Janamsakhis state that at his birth an astrologer, who came to write his horoscope, insisted on seeing the child. On seeing the infant, he is said to have worshipped him with clasped hands and remarked that 'I regret that I shall never live to see young Guru Nanak De Ji as an adult.”
At the age of five years Guru Nanak Dev Ji is said to have voiced interest in divine subjects. At age seven, his father, Kalu Mehta, enrolled him at the village school as was the custom. Notable lore recounts that as a child Guru Nanak Dev Ji astonished his teacher by describing the implicit symbolism of the first letter of the alphabet, which is an almost straight stroke in Persian or Arabic, resembling the mathematical version of one, as denoting the unity or oneness of God. Other childhood accounts refer to strange and miraculous events about Guru Nanak Dev Ji witnessed by Rai Bular such as a poisonous cobra being seen to shield the sleeping child’s head from the harsh sunlight.
On 24 September 1487, Guru Nanak Dev Ji married to Mata Sulakkhani, daughter of Mul chan d & Chando Rani, in the town of Batala. The couple had two sons, Sri Chand & Lakhmi Chand
Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teachings can be found in the Sikh scripture Guru Granth Sahib Ji, a vast collection of revelatory verses recorded in Gurmukhi.
From these some common principles seem discernible. Firstly a supreme Godhead who although incomprehensible, manifests in all major religions, the Singular ‘Doer’ and formless. It is described as the indestructible (without death) form.
Guru Nanak Dev Ji describes the dangers of the Egotism (haumai- ‘I am’) and calls upon devotees to engage in worship through the word of God (Naam — It implies God, the Reality, mystical word or formula to recite or meditate upon (shabad in Gurbani), divine order (hukam) and at places divine teacher (guru) and guru’s instructions) and singing of God’s qualities, discarding doubt in the process. However, such worship must be selfless (sewa). The word of God, cleanses the individual to make such worship possible. This is related to the revelation that God is the Doer and without God there is no other. Guru Nanak Dev Ji warned against hypocrisy and falsehood saying that these are pervasive in humanity and that religious actions can also be in vain. It may also be said that ascetic practices are disfavoured by Guru Nanak who suggests remaining inwardly detached whilst living as a householder.
Through popular tradition, Guru Nanak Dev Ji’s teaching is understood to be practiced in three ways:
1. Naam Japna: Chanting the Holy Name and thus remembering God at all times (ceaseless devotion to God)
2. Kirat Karō: Earning/making a living honestly, without exploitation or fraud
3. Vaṇḍ Chakkō: Sharing with others, helping those with less who are in need

Guru Nanak put the greatest emphasis on the worship of the Word of God (Naam Japna).One should follow the direction of awakened individuals (Gurmukh or God willed) rather than the mind (state of Manmukh- being led by Self will)- the latter being perilous and leading only to frustration.

Beside followers of Sikhism, Guru Nanak Dev is considered holy by PunjabiHindus and SahajdhariSindhis across the Indian subcontinent.[2] Because of his close connection with Hazrat Sheikh Farid-ud-din Ganj Shakar, the Punjabi Sufi saint, Nanak Dev is also considered by many Muslims to be a Sufi, or adherent of Sufic tenets.

When Guru Nanak was a child he refused the upanayana (holy thread) to initiate him into the Hindu religion. Later in his life he married Mata Sulakhani with whom he had two sons. They were called Sri Chand and Lakshmi Das. According to the Sikh religion, one day he was bathing in the river and god took him up to heaven. His family members were very worried as they had thought he died. After three days he returned with the message of god. He gave up his job to spread the message on how to be a good person.
He died in Kartarpur.
