The day Guru Gobind Singh turned sparrows into eagles
The day the all people of all castes stood up and were equal to Kings
The day the we realised the power of Five
The day we were given the 5 Banis to listen and read
The day that transformed us to see all as equal
Remember the true meaning of Viasakhi amongst the crowds and food
If you can ask the Gurdwara to donate vast amounts of food to the homeless
Soon the celebrations will disappear but continue to celebrate in spirit everyday the creation of the Khalsa
Let it always within your spirit, be always fearless within your heart to do the right thing no matter how hard it gets
Celebrate always within
Author’s note: I wrote this poem after attending a Renshabhi in Derby, I was uplifted so much and felt surrounded by Guru Gobind Singhs mission in life. I felt inspired to write this poem on Vasakhi last year.
Dhan Vahiguroo atey Singhni, truly blessed are we Sikhs, especially after taking Amrit
