Guru Nanak and the Cobra

Guru Nanak Dev (1469-1539) founded the Sikh religion. There are no actual portraits of Guru Nanak. The picture by Angel Originals is a modern artistic rendition picturing Guru Nanak as a child in an encounter with a cobra.

What a fascinating tale! I went back to the beginning of your series on Guru Nanak Dev to learn more about him. I love the artist’s renditions of Guru Nanak Dev, too. The bright colors and Guru Nanak’s peaceful expressions help me visualize his spirituality.

Happy WW!

Thanks for dropping by

A wonderful, colorful illustration for an interesting story. Thank you.

Beautiful illustration of an interesting story. I always enjoy learning something new and this is a story I am unfamiliar with.

Thank you for sharing this, Sukhmandir!

The cartoon-like quality and bright colors of this image is appealing. Thanks for sharing it.

What an interesting series, Sukhmandir! I know nothing about the origins of Sikhism, so this is great.

I also really like the look on the closest cow’s face in the picture. She looks mildly concerned about the cobra, but not enough to actually wake the little guru!

My first reaction is how precious – seeing the boy sleeping in the pasture, then I see the cobra. That’s just plain sad. I need to read the series…Thx for your visit and happy WW. *big hug*

A cobra as a parasol. Nice!

Beautiful image! Happy WW and thanks so much for stopping by

One of my favourite stories. This is a lovely rendition.

I eagerly await the day when we will all enjoy such peace, asleep or awake, with or without a cobra.

‘Being lost is worth the coming home.’ So let us sing and dance…

what an interesting tale..

What rich vibrant colors, I love the green of the grass.

PS That wasn’t pollution in my shot – it was dust blown up from North Africa. Yuck. I do agree with you though about overdependency on fossil fuels.
