What is The Significance of Chabeel Day?
--------------------------------------------------
The Punjabi word Chabeel refers to a non-alcoholic, sweet drink that is served cold to provide relief from the hot weather prevalent during the summer months. It is usually made of a mixture of rose syrup in cold water and milk. In several parts of North India Chabeel is popularly known as 'Kachchi Lassi'. It does not require any cooking and brings great relief from the heat.
Chabeel Day is on the same day as Guru Arjan Dev Ji Shaheedi Diwas to pay a tribute to his martyrdom and propound the message of eternal optimism. Guru Arjan Dev Ji was executed by Mughal Emperor Jahangir in the 16th century, who feared his growing following and spread of Sikhism in the Northern part of India. On the rule of Jahangir, the Sikh guru was tortured for days and days for refusing to convert to Islam religion. Guru Arjan Dev Ji remained true to his faith and didn't concede to the Mughal Emperor's demand. Guruji asked to take bath in River Ravi after days of torture he never returned back from the river.
Every year to salute the courage, determination and optimism of Guru Arjan Dev Ji, Shaheedi Diwas is observed as a remembrance of his martyrdom. Chabeel Day is celebrated by serving the cool and thirst quencher drink to the people to provide them much required relief from the scorching heat and spread the message of optimism, which is also observed on the same day as Guru Arjan Dev Ji martyr's day.
