#9 The Meaning of the Name 'Nanak' | Sri Nanak Prakash (Suraj Prakash) Katha by Basics of Sikhi published on 2020-09-28T14:44:19Z Baba Kalu Ji is unsure why his newly born son was named Nanak and wants him to be named such that he is recognised as a Kshatriya. Pandit Hardyal explains that the name came to him from his dhur (root) after deep meditation. It is such a unique name that Hindus, Muslims and the whole world will bow down to Nanak. He then goes on to explain just one of the beautiful meanings of the name 'Nanak'. Sri Nanak Prakash is a detailed historical account of the life of Guru Nanak Dev Ji. It was written by Mahakavi (great poet) Bhai Santokh Singh Ji in 1824 (AD), and represents one of the most comprehensive and beautifully written accounts of Guru Ji’s life. It is usually associated as a part of the greater text known as Sri Gurpartap Suraj Granth (aka Suraj Prakash) which details the historical accounts of all 10 Guru Sahibs in poetic form. It is an ocean of bliss, knowledge and experience. It is said that if one listen to the history of the lives of all 10 Gurus through these texts with complete devotion and faith, they can reach enlightenment.
