VAISAKHI CELEBRATION IN WASHINGTON


ਝਖੜੁ ਝਾਗੀ ਮੀਹੁ ਵਰਸੈ ਭੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਦੇਖਣ ਜਾਈ ੧੩
Even in violent storms and torrential rain, I go out to catch a glimpse of my Guru. ||13||
ਸਮੁੰਦੁ ਸਾਗਰੁ ਹੋਵੈ ਬਹੁ ਖਾਰਾ ਗੁਰਸਿਖੁ ਲੰਘਿ ਗੁਰ ਪਹਿ ਜਾਈ ੧੪
Even though the oceans and the salty seas are very vast, the GurSikh will cross over it to get to his Guru. ||14||


The above words seem to come true when Sadh Sangat at the Gurudwara Sahib in Renton, WA braved the snow and rain to organize the annual Nagar Kirtan for the Vaisakhi Celebrations.  It is probably a record that the Northwest is facing snow at this time of the year.  Yet the Sikhs celebrated the birthday of the Khalsa with the same enthusiasm.
