Summary: This week we have a special episode for Vaisakhi - Normally the programme is sectioned into five areas segments - Meanings, Shabad translation, History of the Sikhs, a Story and some inspirational songs - This week we've rolled the first three segments into one. We cover in the first part of the programme, the history of Vaisakhi, the 5 Ks of the Sikhs, what happens at the Gurdwara during this special day and recent developments for a dedicated Sikh calendar. Our featured backing track is called Hari Har by Snatam Kaur from the CD Grace - We have 2 Shabad Translations this week - One at the beginning of the programme - Deh Shiva Bar Mohe also known as the Sikh National Anthem - and one at the end of the programme - Dukh Bhanjan Tera Naam Ji - Inspirational songs this week include - Free by the Lighthouse family - I thought of this as we need to remember the fight for freedom at the time of Vaisakhi and There will come a day by Incognito from the CD LIfe Stranger than fiction.
