1/3 Happy Vaisakhi/ Baisakhi

A very short thread on why Sikhs celebrate this festival.

Sikhs, Punjabis all over the world celebrate Baisakhi (also known as Vaisakhi or Visakhi) today.
Baisakhi is a historic harvest festival based out of the Punjab and Haryana area which starts
2/3 a new harvest season as well as marking a new solar year.

For Sikhs, Baisakhi is one of most significant festivals in the Sikh calendar and commemorates the beginning of the Khalsa at Anandpur Sahib in year 1699. This was done by Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji, the 10th Sikh Guru
3/3 where the first Sikhs were baptized using amrit (sweet nector juice). Therefore, Indian Punjabis and Sikhs reflect on the values taught by Sikh Gurus and celebrate the Khalsa’s birth.
