Apart from being associated with the harvesting Vaisakhi is also the festival which celebrates the founding of the Sikh community. This community is known as the Khalsa. 14th of April is celebrated every year as Vaisakhi. On this day in the year 1699, Guru Govind Singh gathered Sikhs from all over India to the city of Anandpur Sahib. And at this gathering, the Guru called upon Sikhs from different parts of the country to uphold their faith and preserve the Sikh religion. The Guru then lifted his sword and asked anyone who was prepared to give his life for his faith to come forward. A big silence followed this and no one came forward but the Guru did not step back and kept repeating his words. After many appealing one Sikh family finally came forward. And shortly after this the Guru reappeared alone with his sword covered in blood, and asked for a second volunteer. In this way, another Sikh stepped forward and again the Guru took him into the tent, and re-appeared alone with his sword covered with blood. This thing was repeated until five Sikhs had offered their heads for the Guru. And finally, the Guru emerged from the tent with all five men dressed piously in blue. Guru Gobind Singh called these five Sikhs the Panj Pyare, meaning the Five Beloved Ones. The Panj Pyare was the first members of the new Sikh community called the Khalsa
