Importance and Significance Of Guru Govind Singh Jayanti

By -
Guru Govind Singh is the most influential and the last leader of the Sikhs. His contributions to the Sikh community will always make everyone bow to his personality. He was the one who had started the concept of Khalsa (The pure). Khalsa played the key role in protecting the Sikhs long after his death during the nine invasions of Panjab. Khalsa’s are Sikhs which have undergone the sacred Amrit Ceremony initiated by the 10th Sikh Guru, Guru Gobind Singh. The Khalsa order was initially created on Baisakhi Day March 30, 1699, with Guru Gobind Singh baptizing 5 Sikhs and then, in turn, asking the five Khalsa’s to baptize him. Following this, the Guru personally baptized thousands of men and women into the Khalsa order.
The Khalsa baptism ceremony is undertaken as part of one’s own personal spiritual evolution when the initiate is ready to fully live up to the high expectations of Guru Gobind Singh. All Sikhs are expected to be Khalsa or be working towards that objective. The ceremony of the Khalsa’s is about drinking to be considered Amrit which is made mixing sugar water stirred with a dagger in the presence of 5 Khalsa Sikhs as well as the Guru Granth Sahib (their sacred book). The people who follow the Khalsa will need to follow the below-mentioned rules:-
(a) They are not allowed to remove any hair from any part of thy body.
(b) They shall not use tobacco, alcohol or any other intoxicants.
© They are not allowed to eat the meat of an animal slaughtered the Muslim way.
(d) They shall never commit adultery. The initiate is required to wear the physical symbols of a Khalsa at all times as well as follow the Khalsa Code of Conduct.
Guru Gobind Singh’s teachings have a great impact on Sikhs. He stood against the Mughal Rulers and fought against injustice. In 1699, Guru Gobind Singh baptized five men from the lower caste as his Five Beloveds, endowing them with courage and devotion to God.

According to our Vedic Scriptures, Havan should be the most important rite of our daily activities. As brushing your teeth and taking a bath is the first thing we do in the morning, Havan should also be done regularly Homa/agnihotra/Havan means making offerings to the fire; these are oblations to the devas and other celestial beings. It is basically the power of Deva Yajna. In this way, we pay off our debt for the blessings received from the devas. If you read the Bhagavad Gita (3:10–13), Lord Krishna says, ‘In ancient times, having created mankind together with this yajna, the Lord of Creation said: ‘By this yajna, you shall propagate. Let this yajna be the fulfiller of all your desires. You shall nourish the devas, the shining ones, by this yajna, and may the devas nourish you. Thus, nourishing one another, you shall reap the highest good. For, nourished by yajna, the devas shall bestow on you the enjoyments that you desire. He is a thief who enjoys what is given...
