Guru Amar Das establishes the Vaisakhi tradition.
Vaisakhi is a long established harvest festival in
the Punjab. It had been celebrated long before it
gained an added dimension for Sikhs. In 1699
the tenth guru, Guru Gobind Singh, chose
Vaisakhi as the occasion to transform the Sikhs
into a family of soldier saints, known as the
Khalsa Panth.
