Alignment Holy / Sikh
Key Act Made langar (free communal meal where all sit on the floor together) a *required* condition of seeing him -- including for the Mughal emperor Akbar, who reportedly complied. Forbade sati (widow-burning) and the veiling of women in Sikh practice. Established 22 *manjis* (administrative seats) to organize the growing community
Source *Guru Granth Sahib*; tradition

Became Guru at age 73 and served until age 95. His insistence that everyone eat together, on the floor, before any spiritual conversation could happen, hard-coded social equality into the daily ritual life of Sikhi in a way that no theological statement alone could have done.
