Happy #Vaisakhi2019 to my Sikh brothers and sisters around the globe. Today our faith was formally founded in 1699 with the initiation of five Sikhs willing to give everything for our principles of equality, dignity, charity, humility, ethical living, and resistance to injustice!
Vaisakhi is simplified as “Sikh New Year” by some, but that is not what it symbolizes. We celebrate our dedication to the Sikh faith on this date and remember the sacrifices of our gurus and their followers who followed our holy teaching and lived by the principles set down ...
By the gurus, including taking up arms to fight the Mughal invasion into India in which the population was being forcibly converted to Islam. Through the resistance of our early leaders, millions were free to practice their own faiths and not be subjugated to a foreign power.
