Baba Deep Singh was a beloved child of Guru Gobind Singh, who's commitment was so strong, his word always came true. When the Hari Mandir Sahib was taken over by invaders he promised to fight until his head bowed at the threshold. In the battle field he fought fearlessly and sent many men to their Maker. Then he faught the general of the other army. Baba Deep's head was cut off in this fight........... then a miracle happened......
This is the story of Vasakhi day! During the time of Guru Gobind Rai, the rulers of the land were very cruel to people. They wanted everyone to join the same religion as them.

The question arose, as most women desire to have children, how she could have one without being married. Then Guruji told that, "She will be the 'mother' of a great son who will live forever and be known all over the world."
This forms an introduction to the beliefs and values of the Khalsa and the Sikhs. The occasion of 1699 very much fresh in the minds of the Sikhs as they recall and reflect on those distant days with the Tenth Guru Nanak and the city of Anandpur Sahib.
It had not ever happened in human history that a disciple made a master. But when the Panj Piare gave Amrit to Guru Gobind Rai and made him Guru Gobind Singh it was the first time that the disciple and the master switched places.
Our father is Guru Gobind Singh. Our mother is Mata Sahib. Our mother is the embodiment of devotion. We connect with her when we are sweet and devoted. This Vaisakhi, let us connect with her!
Three hundred and some years ago, the finite being known as Guru Gobind Singh, the father of the Khalsa, could see the unseen times to come. He said not a word from himself because he was not himself. He was the very Self of God!
This was the fourth year of Khalsa Camp BC. It was very impressive to see how the camp has grown and developed over the years. The camp was well organised and the atmosphere was inspirational!
WHO? WHO CAN EMBODY YOUR SARDARNI SAROOP? WHO CAN LISTEN TO THE NAAD WITHIN THE MIND? WHO CAN LEAVE HER BREATH IN EVERY HOLLOWNESS?
As we come to Celebrate Our Baisaikhi this year, renewing our identity as Sikhs of the Guru, it seems relevant for us to take a moment to honor both the Adversity & Prosperity that we both faced & achieved together this year
But what are we now? What does it mean to be Khalsa now?
Reexamining the answer provided by Bhai Daya Singh we can see that if the rock had been in the hand of Guru Ji, there was no chance of its sinking.

To highlight the sacrifices by "Brahmin" Sikhs along ninth Sikh master Guru Teg Bahadur in seventeenth century and to express gratitude to the Sikh guru who sacrificed his life for saving Hindus from forced conversions, Brahin Sabha Punjab is taking out a procession to Anandpur Sahib...
Too many times in the game of identity we want to judge people based on what they look like, and there is nothing about Kirantana that is the typical Kundalini Yogi, 99% wear white all the time to teach, and many times, like normal people, have gotten ritualistic and full of rites.
Among Sikhs there is a tragedy. They found the technology of spirituality and they have drowned themselves in the ocean of ego. That is what Sikhism is today.
REMEMBER, YOU ARE THE SON.... OF THE ONE THAT GAVE UP HIS 'SARBANS' FOR THE KHALSA THE 'NYARA' KHALSA WITH THE BLOOD OF HIS OWN, HIS SIKHS, AND HIS OWN KIN.....
We must face the reality that most of our Gurduaras are defenseless against an active shooter or any sort of violent perpetrator. We are not prepared or outfitted to handle these types of situations ourselves as a sovereign people.

AS I HUMBLY SIT DOWN TO TAKE 'AMRIT'.....WITH TEARS OF LOVE AND DEVOTION FOR THE ONE,......GURU GOBIND SINGH, THAT MADE US KHALSA......FROM THE WEAK AND HOPELESS ONES..
The spirit of Baisakhi which we are celebrating is more vital today than ever. Let all of us who identify ourselves as Khalsa rise to our rightful place of honor today and remember all that we have been blessed with on this spiritual path and all that we have to share.
At yesterday's Vancouver Vaisakhi parade, I met two young men who were eager to educate me about the origins of the Khalsa...
