“I reflect on Vaisakhi and use it as a time to remind myself of what my Guru wanted of me and for me. I realize that it will take awareness and intention at each and every moment and with each and every choice I make..."

Dr. Harsohena Kaur, Advisor at Sikh Research Institute (SikhRI), reflects on Vaisakhi.

“I reflect on Vaisakhi and use it as a time to remind myself of what my Guru wanted of me and for me. I realize that it will take awareness and intention at each and every moment and with each and every choice I make. To let go of my own sense of importance. To place my head on my palm, and to choose to love beyond myself and see every person as a manifestation of IkOankar,” she says.

From now until Vaisakhi, the SikhRI team will reflect and share their perspective of Vaisakhi. Featuring speakers unique in their backgrounds, countries, and experiences, we hope the “Countdown to Vaisakhi” video series will ignite a spark in you to reflect on your personal connection to Vaisakhi.
