To be clear, I support the Nanakshahi Calendar by Purewal. The only "fault" that I can see is that he mentioned he could have made the calendar accurate to have an error of 1 day in 99,000 years, but that would cause the dates in Nanakshahi to shift compared to Gregorian because it would be too accurate.

I originally supported the Bikrami Calendar, but then I got interested in the calculations behind the calendar. I read many research papers by Indian scholars online. It's very interesting to note that we know Trigonometry was created in India, but the reason why was to do astronomical calculations! I am a computer science student, I created a program to convert Bikrami Dates.
-
Yes, because we are doing a conversion in the Bikrami calendar. For example, Guru Gobind Singh Ji's Parkash is on Poh Sudi 7, 1723 Bikrami. If it is converted to Bikrami Solar, the date is 23 Poh, 1723 BK. This is why the Nanakshahi calendar created by Purewal has Gurpurab on 23 Poh.
-
Yes. Purewal never assigned dates. He converted Bikrami Lunar Dates given in Sikh History into Bikrami Solar Dates.
-
This calendar is still the Bikrami Calendar. Why are they still publishing it under the Nanakshahi name? They use Panchang Martand and Panchang Divakar for Gurpurab Dates, not Nanakshahi. It is sad to see an honest attempt by scholars create the Nanakshahi calendar failed due to political interference by people who lack basic knowledge about astronomy. EDIT: Article is from last year, but my question still applies.

Why is amritvela at 3am, I have specifically been told
FreshMind13 replied to mahandulai's topic in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Amritvela is 3 Hours (1 Pehar) before Sunrise. Amritvela changes based on the seasons. There are 8 Pehars in a Day (Ath Pehar). 24 Hours/8 Pehars = 3 Hours. So 1 Pehar = 3 Hours. -

Only in Punjab, Haryana, and Himachal Pradesh. -
I use https://gurbaninow.com/hukamnama

Looks like SearchGurbani FINALLY added Charitropakhyan. I remember before it was greyed out. I personally don't like the Sri Dasam Granth SikhiToTheMax has, it has many mistakes. Their hukamnama from Darbar Sahib updates a whole day after, sometimes it shows the hukam from two days ago even when new one has been taken already.

?. Someone has a tinfoil dumalla on today.

But that has to do with crazy soccer moms scared that vaccinations will give their kids autism (which has no backing). Nothing to do with abortion. I'm not surprised it passed, considering its California lol

There is nothing happening to Women's rights in the USA. Why such fear mongering?

How can we prove Sikhism is a True religion?
FreshMind13 replied to Big_Tera's topic in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
Technically it isn't. Sikhi is about doing. The proof will come when one starts japping Naam. There is nothing to prove in Sikhi (in the Abrahamic sense), you need to do something for yourself to prove it. -
He is right, I've seen Sikh Coalition change in the U.S., going from an org that only works on sikhs right to an org that supports the Far-left intersectionality BS.
-
Then there is no incentive to make the cure in the first place. Why become a scientist and study/research for years when in the end, you will get nothing out of it (aside from I guess moral upliftment). These people have families to feed as well.

The obliteration of history and racial fingerprints continue...
FreshMind13 replied to jkvlondon's topic in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
History, good or bad, should be preserved. It should remain as Allahbad. -
Going back to the original post, there is natural Rennet from plants. I know this as I had to buy Parmesan Cheese that used the Rennet from plants. Then again, I have 0 trust in Protein Powders.

Is There Any Gurbani Which Describes The Shape Of The Earth?
FreshMind13 replied to Singhshaster's topic in WHAT'S HAPPENING?
I don't know about Gurbani mentioning this ਧਰਤੀ being round, but we have simple science in baanis we read everyday. For example, we have the tuk in Sohila Sahib: ਵਿਸੁਏ ਚਸਿਆ ਘੜੀਆ ਪਹਰਾ ਥਿਤੀ ਵਾਰੀ ਮਾਹੁ ਹੋਆ ॥ ਸੂਰਜੁ ਏਕੋ ਰੁਤਿ ਅਨੇਕ ॥ Guru Sahib is telling us that time keeping and the seasons are based on the sun. For example, the year is defined by a complete revolution around the sun, and the seasons are determined by the tilt of the Earth's axis which causes less/more of the Suns's light to be applied, which causes seasons. Flat Eathers are a joke, their conspiracies are full of inaccuracies and nonsense. -

He allows Hindus/RSS to do their Rituals in Gurdwaras. I remember a while back something happened in the Lakhi Shah Vanjara Hall

They are Singhs from Toronto, have been there before. Doing Naam Simran with them is whole another experience.
