Baisakhi 2025

Happy Vaisakhi 2025: Vaisakhi is a day of joyous celebration for Sikhs throughout the world, bringing happiness and excitement. The northern state of Punjab in India is jubilant with religious ceremonies, fairs, and celebrations as it commemorates the creation of the Khalsa, the greatest gift of Guru Gobind Singh to the Sikhs, on this day, 14th April 1699.

Creation of Khalsa on Vaisakhi of 1699

Vaisakhi of 1699 marks the creation of the Khalsa known as Khalsa Sajna Diwas, which is one of the most remarkable events that occurred in entire Sikh History.

The development of Sikhism from the founder Guru Nanak to the 10th Master, Guru Gobind Rai, spanned almost 200 years. Guru Gobind Rai now wanted to infuse a new martial spirit into the Sikhs; it was on the morning of Vaisakhi day of 1699 when, in response to the Guru’s call, Sikhs came to Anandpur Sahib, where Gurdwara Keshgarh Sahib now stands, in their thousands to be present to His command. Little did they know what was about to happen on that memorable day.

Morning prayers were held as usual. Then, after welcoming the congregation, Guru Gobind Rai stood up and drew his sword. A shock wave passed through all those present when he thundered the words, “I would like the head of a Sikh who is prepared to give his life for Dharma (Faith). Is there anybody here?”

Pin-drop silence followed. Many people were afraid and began to flee. Many thought the Guru had gone mad. Guru Ji repeated his call once again. After some time, eventually, a Sikh came forward and offered himself to the Guru. Similarly, four other Sikhs followed and offered their heads one after the other in response to Guru Ji's call for sacrifice.

Preparation of Amrit

Guru Gobind Rai presented the five Sikhs to the congregation in robes. He asked for a street bowl (Bata), poured some water into it, and began stirring it with a Khanda (a double-edged sword). Whilst this was being done, Guru Ji recited the following spiritual compositions:

  • Japji Sahib
  • Jaap Sahib
  • Sudha Swaiaye
  • Benti Chaupai
  • Anand Sahib

His wife, Mata Sahib Devan (who later became known as Mata Sahib Kaur) added some sugar crystals (Pattashas) into the bowl. He called this preparation AMRIT (Elixir, or Holy water)

Initiation of the first five Beloved Sikhs

Guruji bestowed Amrit upon each of the five Sikhs. A handful of Amrit was given five times in the cupped hands of each Sikh to drink. Each time the Sikh was asked to utter the words ‘Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh’.The literal meaning of this is The Khalsa belongs to the Wondrous Lord: Victory is to Him*.

A few drops of Amrit were then sprinkled into the eyes of each Sikh five times. Each time the Sikh uttered the above salutation. Then drops of Amrit were poured into the hair of each Sikh's head, again repeating Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh’.The five Sikhs sipped the remaining Amrit from the bowl in turn and the process was repeated in the reverse order; the Sikh who was the first to sip was the last to sip in the next round. This was to eliminate all caste distinctions among Sikhs. (The five Sikhs were all from different castes).

The Khalsa

Guru Gobind Singh declared that henceforth the initiated Sikhs would be called the KHALSA - God’s Own. He also changed the names of the Sikhs. The males were now given the name SINGH - Lion and all females were given the name KAUR - Princess. These were now to become suffixed at the end of all Sikh names.

Guru Ji conferred the title of the Pyaarey (Beloved Ones) to the first five initiated Sikhs and named them:
(1) Bhai Daya Singh from Daya Ram, a Khatri from Lahore.
(2) Bhai Dharam Singh from Dharam Dass, a farmer from Rohtak.
(3) Bhai Himmat Singh from Himmat Rai, a Jhivar (low-cast of water suppliers) - from Jagannath Puri, Orissa.
(4) Bhai Mohukam Singh from Mohkam Chand, a washerman from Dwarka, Gujarat.
(5) Bhai Sahib Singh from Sahib Chand, a barber from Bidar, Karnataka.

It should be noted that the five beloved ones came from far-flung parts of India. Two belonged to a high caste (Khatri & Brahim), one was aVaish.and the other two were low castes (so-called Shudras i.e. untouchables).

The title of ‘Singh’ and ‘Kaur* gives a distinct identity to the Sikh males and females as belonging to the Sikh faith. However, today many Sikhs have begun to use surnames only and omit this title thus losing their identity of the faith.

Some Sikhs have even gone as far as modifying and corrupting their religious and cultural names to sound like Christian names e.g. Davinder corrupted to David. This is to modernization but an indication of a lack of self-respect and pride in their culture and faith. Every Sikh should be proud of the title ‘Singh’ and ‘Kaur’ given by Guru Gobind Singh Ji and must not anglicize their names nor let others pronounce their names incorrectly or disrespectfully.

Vaisakhi Celebrations

Vaisakhi is celebrated with great enthusiasm by Sikhs in India, the U.K., and all over the world. Early in the morning after the completion of Sri Akandh Paath (forty-eight hours of continual recitation of Sri Guru Granth Sahib), Vaisakhi begins with prayers in the Gurudwara (Sikh place of worship) across the world. Throughout the day, hymns from the scriptures are sung. These are sermons by experienced priests and musicians.

Every Sikh makes an effort to visit the Gurudwara and joins the congregation to pay homage to Guru Gobind Singh. In all Gurudwaras, Langar (free community meals) is prepared by volunteers and served to everyone and anyone throughout the day as usual. Another event of the day is the renewal of the Nishan Sahib (the Sikh flag, which is usually seen outside EVERY Gurudwara). The ceremony is performed with great devotion and zeal and usually includes the changing of the old cloth into the new ones, whilst singing hymns.

In many Gurudwaras, the Amrit ceremony is conducted as many Sikhs prefer to be initiated on this auspicious day. Not just in India, but in some major global cities (including London, Vancouver, New York, Los Angeles, Rome, Singapore, and Sydney) Nagar Kirtans (processions) are carried out, whereby Guru Granth Sahib is taken through the streets with the Panj Pyaarey leading, Several groups of Sikhs follow, each singing hymns in praise of God, Guru Gobind Singh, and the Khalsa.

1699 Di Vaisakhi - Poem by Karamjit Singh Gathwala

੧੬੯੯ ਦੀ 'ਵਿਸਾਖੀ' ਸ਼ਾਮ ਨੂੰ (ਖਾਲਸੇ ਦਾ ਜਨਮ ਦਿਨ)

ਰੋਜ਼ ਵਾਂਗ ਜਾਂ ਨਵਾਂ ਦਿਨ ਚੜ੍ਹਿਆ,
ਤਿੱਥ ਬਦਲੀ ਤੇ ਅੱਖਾਂ ਖੋਲ੍ਹੀਆਂ ਮੈਂ ।
ਪੰਛੀ ਆਪੋ ਆਪਣੇ ਸੁਰ ਕੱਢਣ,
ਸਮਝਾਂ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਦੀਆਂ ਪਿਆਰੀਆਂ ਬੋਲੀਆਂ ਮੈਂ ।
ਕੋਇਲ ਅੰਬ ਦੀ ਟਹਿਣੀ ਤੇ ਕੂਕ ਰਹੀ ਸੀ,
ਬੁਲਬੁਲ ਗਾਵੇ ਗੁਲਾਬ ਦੇ ਕੋਲ ਬੈਠੀ ।
ਪਿੰਡ ਤੱਕੇ ਤਾਂ ਸਭ ਥਾਂ ਦਿਸ ਪਈ,
ਕੋਈ ਸਵਾਣੀ ਵੀ ਚਾਟੀ ਦੇ ਕੋਲ ਬੈਠੀ ।

ਸੋਨ-ਰੰਗੀਆਂ ਕਣਕਾਂ ਝੂਮ ਰਹੀਆਂ,
ਵੇਖ ਵੇਖ ਜੱਟ ਖੀਵਾ ਹੋਈ ਜਾਵੇ ।
ਆਉਣੀ ਫ਼ਸਲ ਤੇ ਏਸਦਾ ਕੀ ਕਰਨਾ,
ਬੈਠਾ ਸੱਧਰਾਂ ਹਾਰ ਪਰੋਈ ਜਾਵੇ ।
ਬੱਚੇ ਖ਼ੁਸ਼ ਸਨ ਮੇਲੇ ਜਾਵਣਾ ਏਂ,
ਘਰ ਹੋਰ ਵੀ ਕਿੰਨਾਂ ਸਾਮਾਨ ਬਣਨਾ ।
ਬੱਸ ਖਾਣ ਦੀਆਂ ਡੰਝਾਂ ਲਾਹਣੀਆਂ ਨੇ,
ਕੋਈ ਕੰਮ ਨਹੀਂ ਅੱਜ ਹੋਰ ਕਰਨਾ ।

ਜਾਂ ਪੁਰੀ ਅਨੰਦ ਨੂੰ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਮੈਂ,
ਕੱਠ ਲੋਕਾਂ ਦਾ ਅਪਰ ਅਪਾਰ ਦਿੱਸੇ ।
ਬੜੇ ਗਹੁ ਨਾਲ ਤੱਕਿਆ ਸਭ ਪਾਸੇ,
ਮੇਲੇ ਵਾਲਾ ਨਾ ਇੱਥੇ ਕੋਈ ਆਹਰ ਦਿੱਸੇ ।
ਮੈਂ ਵੀ ਸੋਚਿਆ ਚਲੋ ਮੈਂ ਸੁਣ ਆਵਾਂ,
ਲੋਕ ਕੀ ਕੁਝ ਕਹਿ ਕਹਾ ਰਹੇ ਨੇ ।
ਕੋਈ ਕੰਮ ਦੀ ਗੱਲ ਵੀ ਕਰ ਰਹੇ ਨੇ,
ਜਾਂ ਐਵੇਂ ਕਾਵਾਂ ਰੌਲੀ ਪਾ ਰਹੇ ਨੇ ।

ਇੱਕ ਆਖਦਾ, 'ਧਰਮਿਆਂ ਦੱਸ ਤਾਂ ਸਹੀ,
ਗੁਰਾਂ ਕਿਸ ਕੰਮ ਸਾਨੂੰ ਬੁਲਾਇਆ ਏ ?
ਮੈਨੂੰ ਲੱਗਦਾ ਅੱਜ ਤਾਂ ਏਸ ਥਾਂ 'ਤੇ,
ਸਾਰਾ ਮੁਲਕ ਹੀ ਚੱਲਕੇ ਆਇਆ ਏ ।'
ਧਰਮਾਂ ਬੋਲਿਆ, 'ਮੈਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਪਤਾ ਕੁਝ ਨਹੀਂ,
ਚਲੋ ਵਿੱਚ ਦਰਬਾਰ ਦੇ ਚੱਲਦੇ ਹਾਂ ।
ਗੁਰੂ ਕਹਿਣ ਜੋ ਅਸੀਂ ਵੀ ਸੁਣ ਲਈਏ,
ਨੇੜੇ ਤਖਤ ਦੇ ਜਗ੍ਹਾ ਕੋਈ ਮੱਲਦੇ ਹਾਂ ।'

ਨਿਕਲ ਤੰਬੂਓਂ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਬਾਹਰ ਆਏ,
ਹੱਥ ਤੇਗ਼ ਨੰਗੀ ਮੱਥੇ ਤੇਜ਼ ਦਗਦਾ ।
ਗੁਰਾਂ ਵੱਲ ਜਦ ਸਭਨਾਂ ਨਿਗਾਹ ਕੀਤੀ,
ਵੇਖਣ ਚਿਹਰੇ 'ਤੇ ਸੂਹਾ ਦਰਿਆ ਵਗਦਾ ।
ਫਤਿਹ ਕਰ ਸਾਂਝੀ ਕਿਹਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਨੇ,
'ਸਿੱਖੋ ! ਜ਼ੁਲਮ ਦੀ ਕਾਂਗ ਚੜ੍ਹ ਆ ਰਹੀ ਏ ।
ਇਹ ਭੂਤਰੇ ਪਸ਼ੂ ਦੇ ਵਾਂਗ ਹੋਈ,
ਬੇਦੋਸ਼ੇ-ਮਜ਼ਲੂਮ ਇਹ ਖਾ ਰਹੀ ਏ ।

ਜੇਕਰ ਏਸ ਨੂੰ ਕਿਸੇ ਨਾ ਨੱਥ ਪਾਈ,
ਇਹਨੇ ਧਰਮ ਦਾ ਰੁੱਖ ਮਰੁੰਡ ਜਾਣਾ ।
ਫਲ, ਫੁੱਲ, ਪੱਤੇ ਇਹਨੇ ਖਾ ਜਾਣੇ,
ਬਾਕੀ ਬਚਿਆ ਮੁਲਕ ਰਹਿ ਟੁੰਡ ਜਾਣਾ ।
ਇਹ ਤਲਵਾਰ ਹੀ ਇਹਨੂੰ ਬਚਾ ਸਕਦੀ,
ਅਸਾਂ ਏਸਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਵਿਚਾਰ ਕੀਤੀ ।
ਨੱਕ ਜ਼ੁਲਮ ਦਾ ਏਸਨੇ ਵੱਢਣੇ ਲਈ,
ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਆਪ ਹੈ ਸਿਰ ਦੀ ਮੰਗ ਕੀਤੀ ।

ਉੱਠੋ ਸੂਰਮਾ ਕੋਈ ਕਰੋ ਮੰਗ ਪੂਰੀ,
ਨੱਕਾ ਜ਼ੁਲਮ ਦੇ ਹੜ੍ਹ ਤੇ ਲਾਵਣੇ ਲਈ ।
ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਤਲੀ 'ਤੇ ਸਿਰ ਤਾਂ ਰੱਖ ਲਈਏ,
ਫੇਰ ਲੜਾਂਗੇ ਧਰਮ ਬਚਾਵਣੇ ਲਈ ।'
ਗੁਰਾਂ ਮੰਗ ਕੀਤੀ ਸਾਰੇ ਚੁੱਪ ਛਾਈ,
ਭਰਿਆ ਪੰਡਾਲ ਜਾਪੇ ਭਾਂ-ਭਾਂ ਕਰਦਾ ।
ਧਰਮੀ-ਰੁੱਖ ਸੜ ਰਿਹਾ ਦੁਪਹਿਰ ਤਿੱਖੀ,
ਵੇਖੋ ਕੌਣ ਹੈ ਸਿਰ ਦੀ ਛਾਂ ਕਰਦਾ ।

ਘੜੀ ਲੰਘੀ ਤਾਂ ਸਿੱਖ ਇੱਕ ਖੜਾ ਹੋਇਆ,
ਉਹਨੂੰ ਤੰਬੂ ਵਿੱਚ ਗੁਰੂ ਲਿਜਾਂਵਦੇ ਨੇ ।
ਲਹੂ ਨੁੱਚੜਦੀ ਹੱਥ ਤਲਵਾਰ ਲੈ ਕੇ,
ਉਹਨੀਂ ਪੈਰੀਂ ਫਿਰ ਪਰਤਕੇ ਆਂਵਦੇ ਨੇ ।
ਗੁਰਾਂ ਦੂਸਰੇ ਸਿਰ ਦੀ ਮੰਗ ਕੀਤੀ,
ਕਈ ਖਿਸਕ ਕੇ ਮਹਿਲਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਜਾਣ ਲੱਗੇ ।
ਕਈ ਉੱਥੇ ਹੀ ਨੀਵੀਆਂ ਪਾਈ ਬੈਠੇ,
ਵਿੱਚ ਹੱਥਾਂ ਦੇ ਮੂੰਹ ਲੁਕਾਣ ਲੱਗੇ ।

ਕਈ ਸੋਚਦੇ ਪਿਆਰਿਆਂ ਪੁੱਤਰਾਂ ਤੋਂ,
ਕਿਉਂ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਗੁਰੂ ਮੁਕਾ ਰਹੇ ਨੇ ।
ਤੇਗ਼ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਕਾਲੀ ਦੀ ਜੀਭ ਲੱਗੇ,
ਗੁਰੂ ਜਿਸਦੀ ਪਿਆਸ ਬੁਝਾ ਰਹੇ ਨੇ ।
ਪੰਜ ਵਾਰ ਇੰਜ ਗੁਰਾਂ ਨੇ ਮੰਗ ਕੀਤੀ,
ਪੰਜ ਸਿੱਖ ਕੁਰਬਾਨੀ ਲਈ ਖੜੇ ਹੋਏੇ ।
ਇਹੋ ਜਿਹਾ ਕੌਤਕ ਮੈਂ ਵੀ ਵੇਖਿਆ ਨਾ,
ਭਾਵੇਂ ਜੱਗ ਵਿੱਚ ਕੌਤਕ ਬੜੇ ਹੋਏ ।

ਥੋੜ੍ਹਾ ਸਮਾਂ ਲੰਘਾ ਗੁਰੂ ਪਏ ਨਜ਼ਰੀਂ,
ਪੰਜੇ ਸਿੱਖ ਪਿੱਛੇ ਟੁਰੇ ਆਂਵਦੇ ਨੇ ।
ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਸਭਨਾਂ ਹਥਿਆਰ ਸਜਾ ਰੱਖੇ,
ਦਸਤਾਰੇ ਵੀ ਸਿਰੀਂ ਸੁਹਾਂਵਦੇ ਨੇ ।
ਜਲ ਬਾਟੇ ਦੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਵਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰ,
ਉਹਨੂੰ ਖੰਡੇ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਹਿਲਾਂਵਦੇ ਨੇ ।
ਨੂਰੋ-ਨੂਰ ਚਿਹਰਾ ਪਿਆ ਚਮਕ ਮਾਰੇ,
ਮੁੱਖੋਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਬਾਣੀ ਅਲਾਂਵਦੇ ਨੇ ।

ਏਨੇ ਚਿਰ ਨੂੰ ਮਾਤਾ ਜੀ ਪਹੁੰਚ ਗਏ,
ਪਾਣੀ ਵਿੱਚ ਪਤਾਸੇ ਮਿਲਾਂਵਦੇ ਨੇ ।
ਗੁਰਾਂ ਨਜ਼ਰ ਭਰ ਤੱਕਿਆ ਉਹਨਾਂ ਵੱਲੇ,
ਚਿਹਰੇ ਉੱਤੇ ਮੁਸਕਾਨ ਲਿਆਂਵਦੇ ਨੇ ।
ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਤਿਆਰ ਹੋਇਆ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਨੇ,
ਪੰਜਾਂ ਸਿੱਖਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਛਕਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ।
ਭਾਵੇਂ ਕੋਈ ਕਿਸੇ ਦੇਸ਼-ਭੇਖ ਦਾ ਸੀ,
ਸਭਨੂੰ ਖਾਲਸੇ ਸਿੰਘ ਬਣਾ ਦਿੱਤਾ ।

ਫੇਰ ਪੰਜਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਗੁਰੂ ਜੀ ਆਪ ਕਿਹਾ,
'ਮੈਨੂੰ ਖਾਲਸੇ ਵਿੱਚ ਰਲਾਓ ਸਿੰਘੋ ।
ਭੇਦ ਗੁਰੂ ਤੇ ਚੇਲੇ ਦਾ ਮੇਟ ਦੇਈਏ,
ਤੁਸੀਂ ਮੈਨੂੰ ਵੀ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਛਕਾਓ ਸਿੰਘੋ ।'
ਸਾਰਾ ਦਿਨ ਹੀ ਅੰਮ੍ਰਿਤ ਦੀ ਹੋਈ ਵਰਖਾ,
ਚੜ੍ਹੀਆਂ ਲਾਲੀਆਂ ਸਭਨਾਂ ਚੇਹਰਿਆਂ 'ਤੇ ।
ਗੁਰਾਂ ਸਭਨਾਂ ਤਾਈਂ ਸਮਝ ਦਿੱਤਾ,
ਜ਼ੁਲਮ ਰੁਕੇ ਨਾ ਅੱਥਰੂ ਕੇਰਿਆਂ 'ਤੇ ।

ਚਿੜੀਆਂ ਬਾਜ਼ਾਂ ਦਾ ਰੂਪ ਧਾਰ ਲਿਆ,
ਗਿੱਦੜ ਸ਼ੇਰ ਬਣ ਭਬਕਾਂ ਮਾਰਦੇ ਨੇ ।
ਮੇਰੇ ਮਨ ਨੂੰ ਇਹ ਯਕੀਨ ਹੋਇਆ,
ਹੁਣ ਨਾ ਸੂਰਮੇ ਜ਼ੁਲਮ ਤੋਂ ਹਾਰਦੇ ਨੇ ।
ਜਦੋਂ ਆਪਣੇ ਬਾਰੇ ਸੋਚਿਆ ਮੈਂ,
ਮੇਰੀ ਛਾਤੀ ਵੀ ਮਾਣ ਦੇ ਨਾਲ ਤਣ ਗਈ ।
ਪਹਿਲਾਂ ਰੁੱਤ ਦਾ ਇਕ ਤਿਉਹਾਰ ਸਾਂ ਮੈਂ,
ਹੁਣ ਖਾਲਸੇ ਦਾ ਜਨਮ-ਦਿਨ ਬਣ ਗਈ ।

Significance of Baisakhi

Vaisakhi is called Baisakhi as well and Sikh and Hindu communities celebrate it mostly in India as well as in the rest of the world. It can be a very important place for the community in terms of history, culture, and religion.

  1. Harvest Festival: Vaisakhi also known as Baisakhi is a harvest festival celebrated in Punjab, India which marks the beginning of the harvest season. It is not only a harvest festival, but an opportunity to thank God for a bountiful harvest and get God's blessing for the coming season.
  2. Birth of Khalsa: Vaisakhi is particularly a very important religious festival for Sikhs because it celebrates the birth of Khalsa, which is the pure ones, in the year 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh. This is the day when Guru Gobind Singh formed a Khalsa Pant, which is the community of committed Sikhs, and initiated the first five Sikhs as Panj Pyare (five beloved ones).
  3. New Year: Vaisakh is also the Sikh New Year since it is when their calendar begins - Khalsa Samvat. It is the time of the year when the past year is reviewed and mistakes are acknowledged and atoned for, preparing the way for a fresh start.
  4. Cultural Celebrations: Vaisakhi is celebrated in India with great fanfare and devotion by people of all faiths. It is the main time when the people should be united, they are supposed to enjoy and participate in cultural activities such as Bhangra and Gidda dance performances, as well as eat traditional Punjabi foods.

Finally, Vaisakhi is the festival that both brings joy and happiness of the harvest, the origin of Khalsa, and the new start. It is the time of the year to look backward, ask for blessings and to be united in a happy and festive mood.

ਅਸੂ ਵਿੱਚ ਗੱਡੀ ਹੋਈ ਕਣਕ ਜਦ ਸੁਨਹਿਰੀ ਲਹਿਰ ਮਾਰਨ ਲਗ ਜਾਂਦੀ ਹੈ ਕਣਕ ਦੇ ਸਿੱਟੇ ਦਾਣਿਆਂ ਦੇ ਭਾਰ ਨਾਲ ਲਮਕਣ ਪੈਂਦੇ ਹਨ ਤਾਂ ਆਪਣਾ ਆਪਾ ਕਿਸਾਨ ਲਈ ਕੁਰਬਾਨ ਕਰਨ ਲਈ ਤਿਆਰ ਮੰਨੇ ਜਾਂਦੇ ਹਨ । ਸਦੀਆਂ ਤੋਂ ਚਲੀ ਆਈ ਪਰੰਪਰਾ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਕਿਰਸਾਨ ਕਣਕ ਦੀ ਫਸਲ ਦੀ ਸਾਂਭ ਸੰਭਾਲ ਵਿਚ ਜੁਟ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

ਅੱਤ ਦੀ ਗਰਮੀ ਵਿਚ ਬੜੀ ਕਰੜੀ ਮਸ਼ਕੱਤ ਕਰਕੇ ਹਾੜੀ ਦੀ ਫਸਲ ਸਾਂਭਦਾ, ਆੜ੍ਹਤੀਆਂ ਦੇ ਕਰਜੇ ਲਾਹੁੰਦਾ, ਸਾਲ ਭਰ ਟੱਬਰ ਪਾਲਣ ਲਈ ਕਣਕ ਦੀਆਂ ਕੋਠੀਆਂ ਭਰਦਾ, ਅਤੇ ਪਸ਼ੂਆਂ ਲਈ ਤੁੜੀ ਵਾਲੇ ਕੋਠੇ ਤੇ ਧੜਾਂ ਸੁਆਰ ਕੇ ਵਿਹਲਾ ਹੋ ਹਟਦਾ ਹੈ ਤਾਂ ਸ਼ੁਕਰਾਨੇ ਲਈ ਵਿਸਾਖ ਮਹੀਨੇ ਦਾ ਪਹਿਲਾ ਦਿਨ ਚੁਣਦਾ ਹੈ। ਵਿਸਾਖ ਮਹੀਨੇ ਦਾ ਨਾਮ 27 ਨਛਤਰਾਂ ਵਿਚੋਂ ਸੋਲਵੇਂ ਨਛਤਰ ਵਿਸਾਖਾ ਤੋਂ ਰਖਿਆ ਗਿਆ ਹੈ ਜੋ ਪੁਰਾਤਨ ਗਰੰਥਾਂ ਅਨੁਸਾਰ ਸਾਰੇ ਨਛਤਰਾਂ ਵਿਚੋਂ  ਪਵਿਤਰ ਮਨਿਆ ਜਾਂਦਾ ਹੈ।

Cultural significance of Baisakhi

Baisakhi is treated as the day of 'Thanksgiving' by farmers as they express gratitude towards the Almighty for the blessing of the harvest and the beginning of a new season. It is also called the farmers' fair. This song of renowned Punjabi Poet Dhani Ram Chatrik is very famous while expressing the sentiments of farmers:

ਤੂੜੀ ਤੰਦ ਸਾਂਭ ਹਾੜੀ ਵੇਚ ਵੱਟ ਕੇ,
ਲੰਬੜਾਂ ਤੇ ਸ਼ਾਹਾਂ ਦੇ ਹਿਸਾਬ ਕੱਟ ਕੇ,
ਪੱਗ ਝੱਗਾ ਚਾਦਰਾ ਨਵਾਂ ਸਿਵਾਇ ਕੇ,
ਸੰਮਾਂ ਵਾਲੀ ਡਾਂਗ ਉੱਤੇ ਤੇਲ ਲਾਇ ਕੇ,
ਕੱਛੇ ਮਾਰ ਵੰਝਲੀ ਅਨੰਦ ਛਾ ਗਿਆ,
ਮਾਰਦਾ ਦਮਾਮੇ ਜੱਟ ਮੇਲੇ ਆ ਗਿਆ।

This was a time of relaxation and enjoyment for the common people:

ਮਾਲ ਢਾਂਡਾ ਸਾਂਭ, ਦਾਣਾ ਫੱਕਾ ਵੇਚ ਵੱਟ ਕੇ,
ਮਾਰਦਾ ਦਮਾਮੇਂ ਜੱਟ ਮੇਲੇ ਚਲਿਆ ॥ (ਚੰਦਰ ਬਾਣੀ)

Maal Dhanda Sambh, Daanna Phakka Vech Wat Ke,
Marda Dmamay, Jat Melay Challiya. (Chandar Bani)

Having tended and secured his cattle, and having sold the harvest resulting from his year's labours, the farmer, with great pomp and show, is on his way to enjoy himself at the fair. This was also a seasonal opportunity for people to practise their skills in Bhangra and Giddha. In tune with the people's social mood, Guru Gobind Singh selected this time of the year for the enactment of one of the most momentous events in the annals describing the evolution of the Sikh religion.

The Religious Significance of Vaisakhi

In Bara Mah of Raga Tukhari, Guru Nanak has very vividly described the seasons of the Punjab in all the twelve months. He describes the month of Baisakh as:

ਵੈਸਾਖੁ ਭਲਾ ਸਾਖਾ ਵੇਸ ਕਰੇ ॥
Vaisakh bhala, sakha ves karey
(Raag Tukhari Mahala 1st: Page 1108).

Vaisakh is blissful: the branches of the trees are covered with (new) leaves and are adorned with (fresh) buds. The Guru likens these to a bride ornately dressed up, waiting in the doorway to welcome the Lord. (17)

ਨਾਨਕ ਵੈਸਾਖਂੀ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਪਾਵੈ ਸੁਰਤਿ ਸਬਦਿ ਮਨੁ ਮਾਨਾ ॥
Nanak, Vaisakhin Prabhu Bhavay, surat shabad manu mana: (Raag Tukhari Mahala 1st: Page 1108).

Nanak, whosoever obtains the Lord in Baisakh, his soul is satiated with Name's meditation.

Vaisakh Month Barah Mah Tukhari Guru Nanak DevFrom the time of Guru Ram Das (the fourth Nanak), the 1st day of Baisakh was known as Basoa Din (first of Vaisakh); and it had continued to be scheduled for the annual gathering of the Sikhs. It was also the day when the Masands were instructed to bring and deposit the donations of the Sikhs of their respective regions into the Guru's treasury.

On this day, Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, convened a huge Diwan at Kesgarh, Anandpur Sahib, and established the Khalsa Panth on April 13, 1699.

Guru Gobind Singh Ji baptized the five Beloveds (Panj Pyaras) at Sri Anandpur Sahib. He gave them the title of Singh and then he received Amrit from them. Therefore, this day is observed as the founding day of the Khalsa Panth.

In Bihar, It is observed as a day to honour the Sun God, Surya, while in Kashmir, festivities and ceremonial baths. In Himachal Pradesh, people visit the Jwalamukhi Temple to take a holy dip in the natural hot spring.

The Historical Significance of Vaisakhi

On April 13, 1919 AD, General Dyer commanded his force to massacre the unarmed Indians who had gathered at Jallianwala Bagh, Amritsar. Baisakhi is the day to pay homage to those martyrs. More than 1000 people were killed and thousands of others were injured.

Baisakhi is treated as the day of 'Thanksgiving' by farmers as they express gratitude towards the Almighty for the blessing of the harvest and the beginning of a new season.
