From Saffron Poet - HAPPY VAISAKHI 2007!

A few lines about the great day go ....

1699, was the time,

When the 10th, Guru Gobind Singh Ji,

Called upon 5 beloved ones,

To sacrifice their worldly attachments!

One by one, 5 praisable men stepped up,

Offering their life, they detached to re-attach, to re-create,

And made faith and commitment their wife,

To this day they we remember them as the '5 beloved ones'

The same ‘5 beloved ones’ that sacrificed themselves for their people!

Them same ‘5 beloved ones’ who were a representation of the people!

And stood by the people, and for the people!

And by this, they showed a beautiful gesture of unity,

In the Land of 5 Rivers, a beautiful community,

And by this beautiful act, they got blessed with forever immunity,

Close your eyes, and have a true moment of true contemplation,

As they still walk with courage love and determination,

They still walk side by side with the Khalsa Panth/ Collective/ Nation,

The Khalsa will continue to persevere!

Through acts and deeds of great nature and culture,

Great people openly give and volunteer,

The original memory of the great ‘republic’ is still so clear and sincere!

HAPPY VAISAKHI 2007

As always feedback will be reacted to via replies and appreciated very much!

But if you’re a person of limited words :) I won't take your silence as a means or reason for violence!
