Waheguroo Jee Ka Khalsa!

Waheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!!

I think most of it is because of conversion from the indian calander to the modern Gregorian calander (correct me if i'm wrong).

Your completley right! it is the following is from allaboutsikhs.com itd says the original vaisakhi dates:

CE Year Vaisakhi Date

1000 22nd March

1469 27th March

1699 29th March

1752 29th March

1753 9th April (due to change from Julian to Gregorian Calendar)

1799 10th April

1899 12th April

1999 14th April

2100 15th April

This rubbish 'new' calender has messed everyone up, at least before we all celebrated on the same date, now half of us will do one thing on one day and the rest of us do it 2 days later!

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but just needed to add my bit, the sooner we throw this 'new' calender out and revert to the system which has been in use since the days of the das guru's the better. If the old system was good enough for Guru Ji to use those months in Gurbani, then its good enough for me as well.

Only thing it has caused is further panthic dis-unity.

Well veerji, this is the last time we'll be confused, because it will always be on the 14th from now on. This is because the old calendar was lunar based, which screwed up the date frequently. The nanakshai calander is solar based, and will never change.

Only thing it has caused is further panthic dis-unity.

I don't see how creating a calendar for us to all come under can cause panthic dis-unity.

Sorry bro your missing my point.

Before this thing was introduced, all of us would find out which date the dihara was on and go about our business on that date.

Now some gurdware sahibs will celebrate on the 13th as by the old system and the places adopting the new calender will celebrate on the 14th.

Who was this dude who created this? Some guy from the west decides to go about 'sorting it our for us'. The date wasnt messed up before, it changed as you say due to different systems. There was no Sarbat Khalsa or anything even similar conducted to pass something which doesnt just effect our lives, but effects our entire history. With the new system whole days of history have dissapeared!

Most of the older dharmic isthaan's such as Taksal and Nanaksar (i think) and others have refused to adopt the phd project stuff.

Are we that unintelligent that we couldnt cope with dates moving a day or two, like sikhs have been doing for hundreds of years??

The calender project is done using something which we here are familiar with, so that we can work with 12 months in a year, with a set number of days in each month etc etc.

What about the months that Guru Ji used? Guru Ji used mahg, fugun, chetar, vesakh etc etc? What happened to those? Will we replace these with January february and march?

This is just another modernisation attempt. Many will think its a good idea, but many others myself included think its just tinkering away at things which were fine and good as they were.

Happy Vaisakhi to everyone on the 13th April (1st of Vesakh).

Actually pyareo..today (the 14th of April) is the First of Vaisakh and Vaisakhi..according to the Panthic Calendar and today is Sangrand, which is also on the Calendar (nanakshai Panthic Calendar) and if you go to sgpc.net the Hukamnama from Darbar Sahib also states 14th April is the first of Vaisakh..

Vaisakhi mubaraka!!!
