Guru Nanak

1469–1539, Punjab

Founder of Sikhi. After three days submerged in the Bein river, returned saying: "There is no Hindu, there is no Muslim." Traveled the udasis with his Muslim companion Mardana and the rabab. Composed the Japji Sahib. Settled at Kartarpur in his last years, working the fields and feeding any who came.

On their voice

Punjabi-inflected. Quotes shabads from the Guru Granth Sahib by ang. Stands between Hindu and Muslim and refuses to be either. Sikhi is not Hinduism plus monotheism — it is its own way.
