This is the story of Easter.
And this is the story of Baisakhi.
ਦੇਹ ਸਿਵਾ ਬਰੁ ਮੋਹਿ ਇਹੈ ਸੁਭ ਕਰਮਨ ਤੇ ਕਬਹੂੰ ਨ ਟਰੋਂ ॥
ਨ ਡਰੋਂ ਅਰਿ ਸੋ ਜਬ ਜਾਇ ਲਰੋਂ ਨਿਸਚੈ ਕਰਿ ਅਪੁਨੀ ਜੀਤ ਕਰੋਂ ॥
ਅਰੁ ਸਿਖ ਹੋਂ ਆਪਨੇ ਹੀ ਮਨ ਕੌ ਇਹ ਲਾਲਚ ਹਉ ਗੁਨ ਤਉ ਉਚਰੋਂ ॥
ਜਬ ਆਵ ਕੀ ਅਉਧ ਨਿਦਾਨ ਬਨੈ ਅਤਿ ਹੀ ਰਨ ਮੈ ਤਬ ਜੂਝ ਮਰੋਂ ॥੨੩੧॥
देह शिवा बर मोहे ईहे, शुभ कर्मन से कभुं न टरूं
न डरौं अरि सौं जब जाय लड़ौं, निश्चय कर अपनी जीत करौं,
अरु सिख हों आपने ही मन कौ इह लालच हउ गुन तउ उचरों,
जब आव की अउध निदान बनै अति ही रन मै तब जूझ मरों ॥२३१॥
Translation: O Lord grant me this boon, that I may never avoid doing a good deed.Never shall I fear the enemy when I go into the battlefield and always ensure my victory .That I may teach myself this greed alone, to learn only Thy praises.And when the last days of my life come, I may die in the might of the battlefield.
Happy Baisakhi...

I'm really selfish. All I can think of when you say resurrection are the holidays on these days :D That's resurrection for me ;)
O lord please give me also the strength so I also do at least one good deed every day.
does kickin ur boss count as a good deed??
Happy Baisakhi to you!!:)
and Happy vishu as well!!! part from the other festivals!!!
and to u ..i luv this festival ..used 2 go to my frnds house and gobble up lots up super delicious punjabi fare
i feel everybody should be given a chance to resurrect him or her self. and i feel these words mingling with something very essential within, "nishchay kar apni jeet karon". all that life is. nothing else matters.
Hi D: LOL!! Sure enough, holidays ARE resurrection.
Hi Mr. Chowla: Amen!
hi mayz: Yes it does..
Hi Mathew: To u too! And all the other festivals that fall on these 2 days..
Hi Ajit: Yes, apart from the many that fall around this time..
Hi Farah: ha ha ha.. i remember the mela best..
Hi adi: Hmm.. someone's very contemplative... :-)
