On Vaisakhi day in 1699, Guru Gobind Singh Ji founded the Khalsa Panth at Anandpur Sahib, transforming Sikhs into saint-soldiers.
Guru Ji called for volunteers willing to give their heads for the faith. Five brave Sikhs stepped forward — they became known as the Panj Pyare (the Five Beloved Ones).
This moment gave the Sikh community its distinct identity: the Five Ks, the Khalsa code of conduct, and a spirit of equality and courage that continues to this day.
Every Vaisakhi, we remember this powerful act of faith and sacrifice.
