Talking Points on Vaisakhi

What is a Nagar Keertan?

Sikhs are a vibrant and very visible part of Canadian society and Vaisakhi is one of the largest Sikh celebrations of the year

covered at all times with a keski or dastaar (turban or head-covering) representing spiritual wisdom;

• Whereas Vaisakhi is celebrated across South Asia as a harvest festival, it has special significance for the Sikh community

- kangha – a wooden comb representing self-discipline; worn in the hair and used to keep it neat and tidy;

• Vaisakhi marks the founding of the Khalsa in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth and final human Guru of the Sikhs. He introduced the “khande ki pahulâ€? initiation for Sikhs and selected the Punj Pyare or five beloveds who would lead the community and administer the Sikh initiation • Khalsa is the collective group of initiated or amritdhari Sikhs • Khalsa means “pureâ€? and also “sovereign/freeâ€? • Khalsa was created to serve humanity and oppose injustice wherever it may exist • The distinct identity of the Sikhs is part of the Khalsa identity. All amritdhari or initiated Sikhs wear the five Sikh articles of faith - kesh – unshorn hair symbolizing acceptance of God’s will; the hair must be kept

- kara – an iron or steel bracelet worn on the wrist; the circle signifies the oneness and eternity of God and to use one’s hands for the benefit of humanity; - kachhera – cotton undergarment representing high moral character and restraint; - kirpan – a stylized representation of a sword, which must be worn sheathed, restrained in a cloth belt, and next to the body; the kirpan signifies the duty of a Sikh to stand up against injustice. Most kirpans range in size from 6 to 9 inches in length. • The Sikh parade or Nagar Keertan is an opportunity to celebrate Vaisakhi together and with the rest of the community as well.

The parade is lead by the Punj Pyare and the Sikh scripture, Sri Guru Granth Sahib

TIRES NEW AND USED

The congregation follows the parade while singing hymns and verses from the Sri Guru Granth Sahib, along with displays of the Sikh martial art gatka and distributing free food (langar).

The nagar keertan begins and concludes with a religious service and the serving of langar.

Q: What is the significance of the orange and yellow colours?

A: Yellow and orange are the traditional colours of Vaisakhi. They represent the spirit of rebirth and sacrifice of the Punj Pyare but are also a colour of joy and celebration. When Vaisakhi is celebrated in Punjab, the golden yellow wheat fields are ready to be harvested.

Q: Who can participate in Vaisakhi celebrations?

A: Everyone. The Sikh faith considers all persons to be equal, regardless of gender, race, nationality or class. Sikh gurdwaras are open to all people. The langar or community meal is also offered to both Sikhs and non-Sikhs alike.

Q: Is there any special dress I should wear?

A: The only requirements to visit a Sikh gurdwara are that visitors take off their shoes and cover their heads. Any intoxicants such as tobacco products or liquor are also not permitted on the premises.

O

n the memorable Baisakhi day (March,30 of A.D.1699) , Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, the tenth Guru of the Sikhs, called a big meeting at Kesgarh Sahib near the City of Anandpur Sahib. Between fifty to eighty thousand Sikhs attended this meeting.

When all were expecting to hear words of comfort and consolation from the lips of their Guru, they were perturbed to see him with a drawn sword in his hand and cried ‘ Is there anyone here who would lay down his life for Dharam?’ There was a big silence, but the Guru went on repeating his demand. At the third call Daya Ram, a Khatri of Lahore, rose from his seat and offered himself. The Guru took him into an adjoining enclosure.... (And soon after) came out with the (blood) dripping....

The History of Baisakhi (Sword in hand) and flourishing it before the gathering, asked again, ‘Is there any other Sikh here who will offer himself as a sacrifice (for the cause of dharma)? At this Dharam Das, a Jat of Delhi (Haryana side) came forward and was taken into the enclosure.... (The Guru again came out with the blood-stained sword, and made his previous demand). In the same way three other men stood up, one after another, and offered themselves for the sacrifice. One was Mohkam Chand, a chhimba of Dwarka (Gujarat State); another was Himmat, a cook of Jagannath (Orissa State); and the third was Sahib Chand, a barber of Bidar (Karnataka State).

The Guru, after dressing the five in handsome clothes, brought them from the assembly.

These five were then administered ‘Khande di Pahul’ (the double-edged Sword Amrit). They were then knighted as Singhs, as the Five beloved ones, the first members of the Order of the Khalsa. The

Guru then asked them to administer the Pahul to him in the same manner in which he had given the Pahul to them, and it was done so. With the creation of Khalsa, the Khalsa created history and since the birth of Khalsa, the history of Punjab has been the history of Sikhs.

Baisakhi played a significant role in this regard. In 1762, Ahmed Shah Abdali, with the sole purpose to destroy the entire Sikh nation, declared ‘Jehad’(holy-war) against the Sikhs and all

the Muslims of the Punjab rallied under this slogan. The Sikhs were surrounded near the village Kup in Ludhiana District.

Chronicles mention that about twenty thousand Sikhs were martyred in a single day. This event is known in the history of the Sikhs as “Ghallughara� (Bloody Carnage). After this, Ahmed Shah Abdali thought that he had crushed the entire Sikh nation, but was greatly disillusioned when after a few months heard that the Sikhs in large number are celebrating Baisakhi at Amritsar.

a very special meaning. It was on this day that their tenth Guru - Guru Gobind Singh - organized the Sikhs into Khalsa or the ‘pure ones’. By doing so, he eliminated the differences of high and low and established that all human beings are equal.

Sikhs assign quite a different meaning to Baisakhi, and if you happen to be in a Punjabi village to catch the men performing the wild bhangra dance, you’ll get the clear picture. This strenuous dance tells the story of the agricultural process, from tilling the soil through harvesting. As the dholak (drum) changes beats, the dancing sequence progresses, dramatizing plowing, sowing, weeding, reaping, and finally celebrating. Baisakhi also commemorates the day in 1689 when Guru Gobing Singh founded the Khalsa, the fighting Sikh brotherhood that donned the distinctive Sikh outfits.

Rabi (winter) crops and is therefore extremely significant for the farmers. Baisakhi Festival is also celebrated as a Thanksgiving Day festival in these states. After waking up early and dressing themselves in new clothes, farmers visit temples and gurdwaras to express gratitude to God for the good harvest and seek blessing for ensuing agriculture season.

Farmers also celebrate Baisakhi by performing energetic bhangra and gidda dance and participating in Baisakhi Fairs.

The festival of Baisakhi falls on April 13 every year and April 14 once in every 36 years. Change in date is because of the fact that date of Baisakhi is reckoned according to the solar calendar. Astrologically, the date of Baisakhi is significant as it marks sun’s entry into Mesh Rashi. For this very reason, many people also know Baisakhi as Mesha Sankranti. The auspicious date of Baisakhi is celebrated all over India under different names and rituals. It is celebrated as ‘Rongali Bihu’ in Assam, ‘Naba Barsha’ in Bengal, ‘Puthandu’ in Tamil Nadu, ‘Pooram Vishu’ in Kerala and ‘Vaishakha’ in the state of Bihar.

In due course of time Baisakhi reminds every Sikh of his cultural and religious heritage.

On Baisakhi day all the Sikhs used to assemble at Amritsar and decide their problems relating to politics and religion. This convention still goes on.

For the people of India, especially the Sikhs, Baisakhi is a mega event - it is a religious festival, harvest festival and New Year’s Day all rolled into one. In April, this day marks the beginning of the Hindu solar New Year. In fact, this day is celebrated all over the country as New Year day, under different names. For the Sikh community, Baisakhi has

India’s major religious group. For the Hindus, it is the start of the New Year, and is celebrated with requisite bathing, partying, and worshipping. It’s believed that thousands of years ago, Goddess Ganga descended to earth and in her honor, many Hindus gather along the sacred Ganges River for ritual baths. The action is centered in the holy cities along the Ganges in north India, or in Srinagar’s Mughal Gardens, Jammu’s Nagbani Temple, or anywhere in Tamil Nadu. Hindus plant poles (wrapped in flags of god-embroidered silk) in front of their homes, and hang pots of brass, copper or silver on top.

Whether you are in Abbotsford or Surrey, the fervor will remain the same. You will find all Sikhs participating in the “Nagar Kirtan�. It is their way of thanking the guru for whatever he has given them. May you now enjoy the Baisakhi festival knowing what it means to all Indians.

“Guru Maneo Granth” Nick Chowlia

M

usic producer & radio host Nick Chowlia has collaborated with over 30 prominent names from the music scene in North America to produce and mastermind this unique religious project. ‘Guru Maneo Granth’ is probably the largest collaboration ever released and highlights the talents of singers and musicians from the Punjabi music industry in Vancouver.

The University of the Fraser Valley wishes everyone a Happy Vaisakhi.

The UFV Centre for Indo-Canadian Studies is proud to be a community partner on events, programs, and activities that promote South Asian culture, arts and heritage, and community engagement.

solely based on the sacred hymns of the Sikh Gurbani, but also incorporate the basic harmony of spiritualism which will appeal to all types of faiths and beliefs”.

‘Guru Maneo Granth’ carries a deep philosophic message with a focus on educating and empowering today’s youth about the fifth largest religion in the world, Sikhism.

‘Guru Maneo Granth’ will be released - FREE DOWNLOAD during Vaisakhi in April 2013 to coincide with the 314th celebration of the Khalsa Panth being founded.

A video to support the song is also airing around the same time and will feature all of the artists and musi-

“It’s been a personal goal for me and I’d like to thank all my brothers and sisters who have played an important role in helping me put this single together. It’s a very small token of appreciation to the Sikh Panth,” explained Nick, “the essential cians who have contributed elements of the track are not towards the soundtrack.
