Basics of Sikhi

300 years ago, one man’s refusal to bow down sparked a revolution that saved the Sikh identity.
By 1726, after the Shaheedi of Baba Banda Singh Bahadur (1716), many Sikhs had begun to settle into "normal" life, attempting to integrate into a society that oppressed them... until Baba Tara Singh Ji stood up.
A simple dispute over grazing land turned into a legendary stand against the Mughal Empire. This wasn't just a battle; it was the birth of the Sikh Renaissance and the catalyst for the first-ever Sarbat Khalsa.
Join us as we uncover the story of the 22 Singhs who chose death over dishonour and reminded the Panth that a Sikh's first loyalty is to the Guru, not to a tyrant's peace.

Prakash of the Khalsa! ✨🛡️


Today marks the historic establishment of the Khalsa, a monumental day when Guru Gobind Singh Ji bestowed the gift of the Khalsa upon humanity. 🌟 On this day, in 1699, at Anandpur Sahib, Guru Sahib transformed ordinary individuals into fearless warriors, committed to righteousness, truth, and selfless service. 🧡💪.

The Five Beloved Ones (Panj Pyare) stood up courageously, embodying the spirit of sacrifice and becoming the first Khalsa. ⚔️ Their unwavering faith and dedication paved the way for countless souls to embrace the path of the Khalsa, devoted to justice and humanity. 🌍🌼

Let us honour the legacy of the Khalsa by living with compassion, courage, and commitment to truth.

Basics of Sikhi

Today we remember the Shaheedi of 13 Gursikhs during the Nirankari clash of Vaisakhi 1978.



During the yearly Vaisakhi Smagam in Sri Amritsar Sahib, news had spread of the Nakali Nirankaris shouting slogans of slander against the Sikh faith and the Sikh Gurus. Led by Bhai Fauja Singh, the sangat (congregation) made their way to peacefully protests against the insults being made.

During the protests, many of the Sikhs were held back and ignored by the police. The Nakali Nirankaris, supported by the police, began to attack and fire upon the peacefully protesting Sikhs, leading to the Shaheedi (martyrdom) of 13 Gursikhs.

🕯️ Remembering Shaheed Bhai Surinder Singh Sodhi Ji 🕯️

Today, we pay tribute to the fearless and devoted Shaheed Bhai Surinder Singh Sodhi Ji, a true warrior who stood unwaveringly for justice and righteousness. His dedication to the Sikh cause and his fearless spirit in the face of oppression serve as a beacon of courage and inspiration for generations to come.

Bhai Surinder Singh Sodhi Ji's unwavering commitment to protecting the honour of Sikhi and the Sikh community is a testament to his deep faith and love for Guru Sahib. 🛡️⚔️ His sacrifice was not just for his own freedom but for the dignity of countless Sikhs who faced persecution.
He was a lion-hearted warrior, fearless in his pursuit of truth and justice, never hesitating to put his life on the line to uphold the honour of the Khalsa Panth. 🦁 His legacy is a reminder of the spirit of resilience, standing firm even in the most challenging times.

Today, as we remember Bhai Surinder Singh Sodhi Ji's shaheedi, let us be inspired by their spirit of sacrifice, courage, and devotion to the Guru’s path. 🌟 May we continue to walk the path of righteousness and truth, just as they did.
