Vaisakhi Celebrations at KhalsaLand
18–19 April 2026 (Saturday–Sunday)
KhalsaLand, located in Kuala Kubu Bharu, is a peaceful retreat and campsite developed by Sikh Naujawan Sabha Malaysia. Spread across approximately 20 acres, it has become a valued place for camps, workshops, youth development, family gatherings, and spiritual programmes. Surrounded by greenery and close to the Selangor River, the venue offers a calm natural environment ideal for learning and community bonding.
Vaisakhi is one of the most important celebrations in the Sikh calendar. It marks the creation of the Khalsa in 1699 by Guru Gobind Singh Ji and is a time of prayer and seva.
Around 40 people, including 15 children from the Divine Life Society, participated in the celebrations. The Divine Life Society was inspired by the teachings of Swami Sivananda, who promoted selfless service, meditation, healthy living, and spiritual upliftment. The children from the society also had a chance to experience Vaisakhi celebrations.
On 18 April 2026, in the evening, the Bodh family planted two rambutan trees. Soon after, participants enjoyed a refreshing nature walk followed by a picnic beside the scenic Selangor River, where families and children shared joyful moments together.
The following morning, on 19 April, the programme began at 4:00am with simran, followed by nitnem and Asa Di Vaar. These early pre-dawn hours are often known as ambrosial hours, a special time cherished for meditation, prayer, and inner stillness.
At 9:00am, Nishan Sahib seva took place with kirtan by the Selayang Youth Jatha. This was followed by kirtan presentations by children and youths from 9:30am to 10:45am.
A special session was then conducted by Past President of Sikh Naujawan Sabha Malaysia, Vir Sukdev Singh (ex-MAS), from 10:45am to 11:40am. The Vaisakhi programme concluded with Ardas and Guru Ka Langgar.
