Vaisakhi (Punjabi vaisa-khi- also known as Baisakhi) marks the Punjabi and Nepali New Year and the beginning of the harvest season in Punjab, India and Nepal.Vaisakhi falls in the Nanakshahi calendar (neither in the Amantha- nor in the Purnimantha-calendar) on the first day of Vaisakh month and marks the sun entering Mesha Rasi (this fact is called Mesha Sankranti). Vaisakhi is therefore determined by the solar calendar. Baisakhi usually falls on April 13, and on April 14 once every thirty-six years, however it has now been agreed for Baisakhi to always fall on the 14th of April.

Beloved Guru Nanak, The Great Jagat Guru, The Enlightener of the World, Thou assumed a luminous form of Guru Gobind Singh Ji as the Tenth Master. At the very outset I beg Thy forgiveness as I venture to express Thyself being fully aware that Thou are truely inexpressible. A frail and inconsequent mortal like me is totally unfit to envision Thy Eternal Glory. Any exercise, however, perfect, powerful and pure it may be, becomes imperfect, powerless and futile when undertaken in describing Thee. With this humble prayer, I seek your Mercy and Grace in proceeding further. I dedicate this humble attempt to the overflowing Grace of Baba Nand Singh Ji Maharaj at whose Lotus Feet I tasted the Bliss of the Eternal Glory of the House of Guru Nanak and to my own worshipful father Baba Narinder Singh Ji who adored and worshipped his Beloved Sri Guru Gobind Singh Sahib as ‘THE LIGHT OF THE UNIVERSE’. He used to visit Anandpur Sahib every year and used to arrange the performance of an Akhand Path there in honour of his Beloved Sat Guru. With folded hands and tears streaming down his cheeks, he used to make a yearning appeal to Singh Sahib.

Baisakhi Festival falls on April 13th or April 14th and marks the beginning of the solar year. People of North India, particularly Punjab thank God for good harvest.

Baisakhi has special significance for Sikhs as on this day in 1699, their tenth Guru Gobind Singh Ji organized the order of the Khalsa.
