Janamsakhi Tale
Guru Nanak and the Two Loaves
A Chronicle of True Sustenance and Exploitation
In the village of Saidpur, Guru Nanak and Bhai Mardana are welcomed into the humble home of Bhai Lalo, a carpenter who earns his bread through honest labor. Across town, the wealthy official Malik Bhago prepares a feast of his own, and takes offense when the Guru chooses Bhai Lalo's table over his. What happens when the two loaves are finally placed side by side becomes one of the most enduring teachings of the Guru's early travels.
