Gurpurab

[Samsinghk]

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh Ji.

My basic understanding is that Gurpurab is celebrated when our gurus were born. Also gurpurab is observed on martyrdom of gurus.

So, is gurgaddi divas also called gurpurab? Is jyoti jyot of any of the gurus who were not martyred, is also observed as gurpurab?

What else could be called as gurpurab?

Gurpurab is all of the above, (when the first revealed themselves as well as when they have decided to no longer be on Earth,) it depends on your Gurdwara on how they celebrate their Gurpurabs. I recommend looking at this calendar to understand why it seems like all forms of Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji don't have Gurpurabs on all their respected dates: http://www.sikhs.org/dates.htm every calendar accepts Dhan Dhan Sri Guru Nanak Dev Ji being sent on Vaisakhi; however, the celebrations are in October/November.
