[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 118120, member: 35"] [URL="http://www.tribuneindia.com/2010/20100104/punjab.htm#1"]http://www.tribuneindia.com/<wbr>2010/20100104/punjab.htm#1[/URL] Nanakshahi Calender SGPC panel suggests radical changes Tribune News Service Amritsar, January 3 The executive committee of the SGPC today approved radical changes in the Nanakshahi calendar amid voices of dissent raised by three of the 15-member strong SGPC executive and opposition put up by a number of Sikh bodies. The Nanakshahi calendar, which was adopted by the SGPC in 2003 after having been approved by Akal Takht, will almost resemble the Bikrami calendar if the changes approved by the executive were implemented. The proposed changes suggested by the SGPC chief Avtar Singh and the orthodox Sikh organisations led by the Damdami Taksal chief, Harnam Singh, however, will come into force as and when these were endorsed by Akal Takht Jathedar Giani Gurbachan Singh. [COLOR=Red] Ignoring the opposition put up by three executive members --- the SGPC general secretary Sukhdev Singh Bhaur, Bibi Ravinder Kaur and Karnail Singh Panjauli ---the SGPC executive led by Avtar Singh has recommended that Sangrands along with the martyrdom day of Guru Arjan Dev should be observed as per the "old tradition" (read Bikrami calendar).[/COLOR] [COLOR=Red]Besides, some important days such as the birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh, Gurta Gaddi Divas and Jyoti Jot Samaun Divas of Guru Gobind Singh were also likely to be observed as per the Bikrami calendar. [/COLOR]According to Avtar Singh, the five Sikh high priests had already recommended that these three historic days should be observed as per the "old tradition." He, however, made it clear that the proposed changes would come into force only if endorsed by the Akal Takht Jathedar. Till then, the SGPC would be adhering to the existing Nanakshahi calendar and the birth anniversary of Guru Gobind Singh would be celebrated as per the existing calendar on January 5.
