Happy Vaisakhi/Baisakhi to us all!!!!!
Since agriculture is the backbone of the Indian sub-continent, it provides a livelihood to majority of the people in the rural areas of the country and the festivals of harvest are given special importance in the calendar of events.
Vaisakhi/Baisakhi is one of the important festivals celebrated with fun and fervor by the people living in the northern parts of the country. Apart from being a harvest festival, it holds religious significance too
Vaisakhi is one of the most important dates in the Sikh calendar. It is the Sikh New Year festival and is celebrated on April 13 or 14. It commemorates 1699, the year Sikhism was born as a collective faith. Sikhism is about peace, equality and giving to those in need. It stands true to its faith, by hard and honest work. It promotes equality by treating everyone the same and with respect, regardless of belief or faith.
There is one God
His Name is Truth
The All-pervading Creator,
Without fear, without hatred
Immortal, unborn, self-existent,
By grace, the Enlightener.
True in the beginning, true throughout the ages,
True even now, Nanak, and forever shall be true.
Happy Vaisakhi to all my Forum friends and family xxx
