We are all spiritual energies or souls and we perform actions of different types in the World Drama. All of us have performed a lot of good actions and some negative actions also, in the World Drama, under the influence of body consciousness. Some of us are more aware of our actions and some of us are lesser aware. Why does this happen? As we have progressed through our different births in the World Drama, we have gone through different types of experiences, which have not only influenced our sanskars, but have also influenced our mind as well as intellect.

Baisakhi is celebrated on the first day of the solar month of Baisakh. It is termed as 'Baisakhi' because as per astrological calculations at this time the moon passes through visakha naksatra or constellation of the Indian calendar. This festival falls when the farmers have just finished the harvesting of the wheat crop. In the Sikh history, the celebration of Baisakhi can be traced back to the time of Sri Guru Amar Das Ji (1479- 1574), the Third Guru of the Sikhs i.e. to more than 470 years.

Until the beginning of the twentieth century the main historical Gurdwaras were under the control of mahants. It may be added that originally the superior of a religious establishment was called a mahant. In earlier days the word mahant referred to the leaders of Nath deras. But during the 18th and 19th centuries many Gurdwaras were occupied by hereditary controllers who became virtual owners of their respective Gurdwaras and came to be known as mahants. Many of them were not initiated Sikhs, they were self-seekers and started exploiting the funds attached to the Gurdwaras and started using the funds for their pleasure and immoral activities.

The Sikh history of the 18th century is replete with the martyrdom of Sikhs at the hands of Afghan and Mughal rulers who invaded India which was at that time considered a 'sparrow of gold'. The primary aims of these invaders were to loot the people and convert them to Islam. These invaders generally returned to their home countries after amalgamating booty although they also established their rule in Punjab, Delhi and some other parts of India. But soon after the atrocities waged by these cruel invader-rulers ended the Britishers entered India to grab power and started their onslaught on the Sikhs because they had heard about the bravery and steadfastness of the Sikhs.
