Every year in April, millions of Sikhs world-wide celebrate the birth of the Sikh identity. In 1699, Sri Guru Gobind Singh, formed the order of the Khalsa (The Pure) and thus forming the present Sikh identity. Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji filled the Khalsa with love for humanity and strenghth to protect the innocent. This would lay a foundation that would see the Sikhs prosper to different parts of the globe, where they have contributed significantly to the social and economic structure of their adopted homelands. The Vaisakhi Celebration in Surrey celebrates more than just the birth of the Sikh identity. Gathering crowds of more than thousands, the Vaisakhi Parade symbolizes deversity and multiculturalism.
