BAISAKHI
OR VAISAKHI
Vaisakhi Day is of paramount
importance for the Sikhs, as it was on this day Guru Gobind Singh
- the Tenth Guru of the Sikhs sought to eliminate social discriminations
with the establishment of the universal caste Khalsa Panth.
Baisakhi or Vaisakhi Festival is celebrated as the Sikh New Year
and the founding of the Khalsa Panth. History of Baisakhi traces
its origin from the Baisakhi Day celebrations of 1699 organized
by the Tenth Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh to form Khalsa - Brotherhood
of Saint Soldiers to fight against tyranny and oppression. .....More
Vaisakhi is an important celebration to the Sikh followers. Like
any other celebration, Vaisakhi brings Sikhs together for a day
of celebration. It displays the values of the culture and introduces
outsiders to the Sikh way of life. The lavish decorations show the
Sikhs love for rich and bright culture. The Sikhs act out what they
believe about the tolerance for other religions. This celebration
invites all religions to join in the celebration for the harvest
season; a true act of tolerance. |
