Back to Nanakshahi calendar?

[Dsinghd]

The Akal Takhat Jathedar has brought back the Nanakshahi calendar.

All dates will be according to this calendar.

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.

Do you know what purewal calendar came about and how he assigned dates?  Jumping on the bandwagon blind is good as accepting a rock as your Lord.

Yes. Purewal never assigned dates. He converted Bikrami Lunar Dates given in Sikh History into Bikrami Solar Dates.

Is this the right way of converting dates?

Just now, Akalifauj said:

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.

What expertise do you have in making this adjustment?

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.

So then you would know the faults in the purewal calendar.  Can you tell the sangat here what he did wrong?
