Vaisakhi, also known as Baisakhi or Visakhi, holds a special place in the hearts of Sikhs around the world. Known as the Sikh’s New Year, this festival marks not only the arrival of the spring harvest but also holds deep religious significance, especially for the Sikh community. Also known as the Punjabi New Year, Visakhi marks the first date of the month of Vaisakh, which is the first month of the “Desi” Calender.
The roots of Vaisakhi celebration trace back to the year 1699 when Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, founded the Khalsa Panth, a community of initiated Sikhs. On the day of Vaisakhi that year, Guru Gobind Singh gathered Sikhs and initiated the Panj Pyare, or the Five Beloved Ones, who were willing to sacrifice their lives for their faith. This event is not only a pivotal moment in Sikh history but also marks the birth of the Khalsa identity.
Vaisakhi also marks the culmination of the spring harvest season in India. If you are in need of Vaisakhi quotes, messages or wishes to send your loved keep scrolling:
