THIS IS MORE WEIRD NOW BECAUSE THE DAMDAMI TAKSAL WEBSITE AND I ASKED A BHAI FROM THERE TO THERE SAYING THE ACTUAL DAY Ascension to Sach Kand 1663 Bikrami, Jeth, 25th May, 1605 AD, Gurdwara Dera Sahib, Lahore. Is this right.

The reason dates are different is because calandars are different. In India they use the lunar (moon calandar) which is different from the solar (time earth takes aroudn sun) years. Due to one moon year beign different from a sun year.. different dates (in solar calandar) appear every year.

Although at the time the date might be 30 May, it's differnet today due to the fact that those who follow the lunar calandar (DDT etc)... the date is different in the solar calandar every year.

confusing.
