Sikhs around the world celebrated on Tuesday the Vaisakhi New Year festival, one of the most important dates on the Sikh calendar. Vaisakhi, also spelled Baisakhi, is marked annually on either April 13 or 14 with large public processions known as Nagar Kirtans.
Congratulations to the entire Sikh world and our friends in other faith communities on the sacred and joyous occasion of the 316th Baisakhi that falls this year on April 14th. Baisakhi, some people say Vaisakhi, is the most important and transformational event in Sikh faith history.
Long I await this day Like all who came before me. Long others await this day Like all will come after me. Brothers and sisters forged of Steel. Made by Amrit pure
I believe the Panj is important. Yet believing is one thing, and experiencing is another. I feel I now understand better how important the Panja Piare
Beyond the commemorations, celebrations, and proud recounting of glorious legacy and legends of the historic Baisakhi of 1699, the struggles and sacrifices since, and the unimagined achievements of the Sikhs on the world stage in recent decades, there remain formidable challenges of Sikhs knowing so little about their own faith.
Every Holi in Anandpur Sahib, a town in north-east Punjab along the Sutlej, the Hola Mohalla festival unfolds.
Like the beautiful earth, adorned with jewels of grass, Such is the mind, within which the Love of the Lord abides. All one's affairs are easily resolved, O Nanak, When the Guru, the True Guru, is pleased.
