The Sikh history is enshrined with glorious sagas, plenty of struggle, relentless battles and the perseverance of some remarkable warriors and saints who have played a key role in shaping the social, religious, and political milieu of the Sikh faith. This Vaisakhi, we bring to you some of the most significant and revered Sikh figures, who have made their mark in the pages of Sikh history eons ago.

Recognizing the valuable stories, literature, and poetry such a program could bring to the table, Dr. Grewal and Dhillon started the journey towards creating a legacy through the establishment of a Sikh Studies program at the University of Calgary. 

The religious significance mixed with the cultural festival of Punjab makes Vaisakhi an exciting and festive time. However, as time goes by, we are gradually losing sight of the fundamental importance and significance of this day. We keep forgetting the guidelines established by Guru Gobind Singh ji.

This traditional spring harvest festival has been celebrated for centuries in Punjab and other parts of Northern India, where farmers thank God for an abundant harvest and pray for another successful one. Vaisakhi is a shared festival for people of many different cultures and religions. Individuals of all ages, ethnicities, and races come together to celebrate Vaisakhi - a day of celebration.

After EcoSikh's tremendous work, World Sikh Environment Day is now celebrated in eight countries, with the involvement of several Gurdwaras and families participating. Sikh Environment Day aims to sensitize society/students of all ages, social, religious, and academic institutions and organizations.

The strikingly exuberant colors, decorations, and symbols come together to create a meaningful sea of celebration infused with tradition, culture and community. Worry not! There are still plenty of ways to bring Vaisakhi to life in the comfort of your homes, or locally within the community.
