There was a news report a few days ago, about the Sikhs attending an annual jorh-mela at a Gurdwara on the banks if the Satluj around the Sri Anandpur area, where there is a Gurdwara to commemorate the writing of Sri Kabiyo Baach Benti, by Guru Gobind Singh.

What stood out for me, was the fact that as Guru Gobind Singh dated his Gurbani in Bikrami calendar, and on this day exactly there it is remembered and the whole sangat join in to do jaap of same bani all day.

How could Nanakshahi calendar accomodate such events? Its simple, it can't and at times like this, I am reminded of the shortcomings of this calendar.
