On the eve of Baisakhi, Every spring, with a devotional grace, the students of Akal Academy Kalloh bands together in Chardi Kala – high spirits – to celebrate the Birth of the Khalsa during the annual Baisakhi Celebration. The spring hearkens the energies of hope, creation, renewal and freshness.
The tiny tots were witnessed marching into the hall with chanting and drumming, a timeless reminder of this warrior path – the path of the fearless human devoted to service and kindness. It was a bliss to watch them performing with devotional shabads, poems and displaying their talents. The activity hall brimmed with divine grace. The dignitaries spoke appreciating the efforts put in by the students making it a glorious event.
In April 1699, Guru Gobind Singh, the 10th Guru of the Sikhs, created the Khalsa – a majestic kind of human devoted to Seva (selfless service), Simran (constant remembrance of the Infinite), Bana (the distinct attire) and Bani (recitation of prayers). With the Khalsa, he created a nation of warrior saints – fearless humans whose only armor is compassion.
And for Sikhs, the springtime is a personal reminder of their individual commitment to what it means to be Khalsa – humans of high consciousness and purity of heart; humans dedicated to serving humanity and raising the vibration of the planet.
With every step, and every humble act of the students, pouring their innocent thoughts on the auspicious occasion of Baisakhi, the untold blessings the Guru were bestowed upon the innocent blooming flowers of Akal Academy.
