Today, Vaishakh has started the second month of Hindu calendar from 13 April. With this, Baisakhi festival is being seen across the country. This festival is not only a symbol of the happiness of the new crop, but also has special religious significance in Sikhism. The Khalsa Panth was established on Baisakhi, due to which this day is also considered historically very special.
The celebration of Baisakhi in Punjab
In Punjab, this festival is celebrated with great gaiety and enthusiasm. In the joy of crop ripening and coming home in the fields, people do Bhangra and Gidda on the beat of drums and drums. Special lessons, bhajan-kirtans and nectar eclipse ceremonies are held in the gurudwaras. Devotees sit in the line and consume nectar five times, which is an important part of the Sikh tradition.
Festivals also in other parts of the country
Baisakhi is not limited to Punjab only. In different parts of India it is celebrated with different names:
- It is known as Bihu in Assam.
- New Year (Naba Varsha) begins on this day in Bengal.
- In Kerala it is celebrated as Puram Vishu.
In these areas also this day is seen as a new beginning, harvesting of crop and a celebration of nature.
The beginning is related to the changes of the sun
According to astrology, the day the Sun comes out of Pisces and enters Aries, the month of Vaishakh begins. This is the reason that this time the Sun is entering Aries on the night of 13 April, and this day is considered suitable for celebrating the festival of Baisakhi. This time also shows the beginning of solar new year.
Establishment of Khalsa Panth
This day also has special significance in history because the tenth Guru of Sikhism, Shri Guru Govind Singh ji established the Khalsa Panth on this day. It was the beginning of a new religious and social consciousness, which was aimed at struggling against injustice and the path of truth.
