History of vaishakhi:
Guru Gobind Singh, the tenth Sikh Guru, laid the groundwork for Panth Khalsa. For this reason, the Khalsa Sirjana Divas are also observed on this day. Sikhs celebrate the traditional New Year on Baisakhi.
The ninth Sikh Guru, Guru Teg Bahadur, was publicly killed by the Mughal Emperor Aurungzeb and became a martyr. This is how the narrative of Baisakhi began. When the Aurungzeb sought to introduce Islam into India, the valiant Guru Tegh Bahadur defended the rights of Sikhs and Hindus. The Sikh Guru was beheaded because he was viewed as a danger. Guru Gobind Singh, his son, succeeded him as the Sikhs’ next Guru after his death.
Baisakhi was the day selected by Guru Gobind Singh to transform the Sikhs into the Khalsa Panth, a family of warrior saints. At Anandpur Sahib, he founded the Khalsa in front of a large crowd.
With a sword in hand, the tenth Guru emerged from a tent during the celebrations. He invited Sikhs into the tent with him if they didn’t fear for their lives. However, Guro Gobind Singh came back by himself, his blade drenched in blood. He called on volunteers again and again until five men disappeared inside the tent. The people were really worried until they saw the Guru emerge from the tent with five guys dressed in turbans. He then baptized these five men into the Khalsa, and they became known as the Panj Piare, or ‘Beloved Five’.
