The Message of Vaisakhi in Today’s London

The message of Vaisakhi has particular relevance today in multicultural and multifaith Britain. Vaisakhi promotes friendship and mutual respect as the way forward. This is consistent with the command of Guru Gobind Singh Ji: “Consider the whole of humanity as one, we are all children of the one God.”

Vaisakhi on the Square is organised by Vaisakhi in London Committee with support from the Mayor of London.
