Guru Nanak Dev Ji, accompanied by Bhai Mardana Ji and Bhai Bala Ji, enter an eerie forest - with no animals or other inhabitants in sight. Seeing fruits in the enormous trees, Bhai Mardana Ji asks Guru Ji if he can eat the fruit. Guru Ji forbids Bhai Mardana Ji from eating the fruit, as these fruits simply look tasty on the outside, but are bitter on the inside. Frustrated that he cannot do what he thinks is most convenient, Bhai Mardana Ji soon regrets his actions and learns that Guru Ji always has a reason for everything - often beyond our limited comprehension and that is always in our best interest.
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.
