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. A feeling of darkness and unhappiness spread through the land. The time had come for the Guru to show how to bring ......THE LIGHT!!!
After Guru Gobind Singh's time, during the time of Maharaja Ranjit Singh, there was a purely devoted fearless Khalsa named Akali Phula Singh. After taking a hukam from the Guru he wouldn't delay his battle plan to attack at dawn. He was the only one to charge in to battle against the Afghan army at first. He fought bravely without fear of death. He said, "The Khalsa of Guru Gobind Singh can do anything."
One time Guru Gobind Singh told one of his soldiers to climb up a huge tree that was near by. He told him to go up there and look for a Pipal tree. When the Pipal tree was found Guru ji told him that one day the Pipal tree will be even higher that the huge tree above it. "When it gets that high than the Khalsa will flourish in this world." The Pipal tree grows very slow and as it takes over the other tree surely the Khalsa will spread in the kindest of spirits.
