Vaisakhi Nagar Kirtan of Various cities

When the month of Chet came around last year, murmurs of discontent were born anew from the banks of the Satluj in Punjab to the shores of the Pacific in California,  in the hundreds of thousands, Sikhs pledged orange.  For a brief moment it appeared that Sikhs across the World could no longer turn a blind eye to the ills of the society. But the summer months came and the ire vanished, even though the circumstances had not changed, they had just been prolonged.  There is no one single solution, moreover the root-problem itself is multi-dimensional here and so greater input is required if we are to progress.  Realise that nothing will come to be unless you make it happen. You need to become educated; you need to learn; where now there is ignorance you need to find light. The House of Guru Nanak is built on the founding principle that you are the master of your own destiny so take this opportunity; don’t wait for an age that isn’t coming or a guardian that doesn’t exist. You have the unequivocal words of Guru Nanak to guide you and the navigational directions of the millions who have forged this path before you.   This is the path of a true Sikh – a student of the Guru who wants to grow and expand the state of their being through putting that which they learn into practice. This is the Sikh who will forever pledge orange for as the third Guru Nanak declared in Raag Basant, “Those who are imbued with Truth, are forever in the bloom of spring.“

India won't be 'the world's largest democracy' until it upholds human rights

Twenty-five years ago, India suspended part of its Constitution and launched a brutal campaign against Sikh separatists in its Punjab province. Today, India must provide reparations to the victims and vow to uphold human rights, especially in Kashmir and the northeast states.

June 1984 Sikh memorial nearing completion

“Work on the Gurdwara (the memorial) is almost complete. Only finishing jobs on the marble are left. The memorial will be completed much before the due date (late May). It will be thrown open to devotees on June 6, the Bluestar anniversary, with special prayers”.

ਬਾਰਹ ਮਾਹਾ ਮਾਂਝ ਮਹਲਾ ੫ ਘਰੁ ੪ 
ਚੇਤਿ ਗੋਵਿੰਦੁ ਅਰਾਧੀਐ ਹੋਵੈ ਅਨੰਦੁ ਘਣਾ ॥
ਸੰਤ ਜਨਾ ਮਿਲਿ ਪਾਈਐ ਰਸਨਾ ਨਾਮੁ ਭਣਾ ॥ ਜਿਨਿ ਪਾਇਆ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਆਪਣਾ ਆਏ ਤਿਸਹਿ ਗਣਾ ॥
ਇਕੁ ਖਿਨੁ ਤਿਸੁ ਬਿਨੁ ਜੀਵਣਾ ਬਿਰਥਾ ਜਨਮੁ ਜਣਾ ॥ ਜਲਿ ਥਲਿ ਮਹੀਅਲਿ ਪੂਰਿਆ ਰਵਿਆ ਵਿਚਿ ਵਣਾ ॥
ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੁ ਚਿਤਿ ਨ ਆਵਈ ਕਿਤੜਾ ਦੁਖੁ ਗਣਾ ॥ ਜਿਨੀ ਰਾਵਿਆ ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਤਿੰਨਾ ਭਾਗੁ ਮਣਾ ॥
ਹਰਿ ਦਰਸਨ ਕੰਉ ਮਨੁ ਲੋਚਦਾ ਨਾਨਕ ਪਿਆਸ ਮਨਾ ॥ ਚੇਤਿ ਮਿਲਾਏ ਸੋ ਪ੍ਰਭੂ ਤਿਸ ਕੈ ਪਾਇ ਲਗਾ ॥੨॥

Baarah Maahaa ~ The Twelve Months: Maajh, Fifth Mehl, Fourth House:
In the month of Chayt, by meditating on the Lord of the Universe, a deep and profound joy arises.
Meeting with the humble Saints, the Lord is found, as we chant His Name with our tongues. 
Those who have found God-blessed is their coming into this world.
Those who live without Him, for even an instant-their lives are rendered useless. 
The Lord is totally pervading the water, the land, and all space. He is contained in the forests as well.
Those who do not remember God-how much pain must they suffer! Those who dwell upon their God have great good fortune.
My mind yearns for the Blessed Vision of the Lord’s Darshan. O Nanak, my mind is so thirsty! 
I touch the feet of one who unites me with God in the month of Chayt. (2)

Baarah Maahaa: Maajh Mehl 5 Ghar 4 
chayt govind araaDhee-ai hovai anand ghanaa.
sant janaa mil paa-ee-ai rasnaa naam bhanaa. jin paa-i-aa parabh aapnaa aa-ay tiseh ganaa.
ik khin tis bin jeevnaa birthaa janam janaa. jal thal mahee-al poori-aa ravi-aa vich vanaa.
so parabh chit na aavee kit-rhaa dukh ganaa. jinee raavi-aa so parabhoo tinnaa bhaag manaa.
har darsan kaN-u man lochdaa naanak pi-aas manaa. chayt milaa-ay so parabhoo tis kai paa-ay lagaa. (2)
