[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 183043, member: 35"] Here is a short explanation for the April 14 date. And I have copied the link to Purewal's calculations. Originally the Parkash Guru Nanak was set by the Bikrami calendar which was used by Hindus and Sikhs up until the early part of the 21st Century. 1 Vaisakh is the solar date for his parkash; the lunar date is variable. Purewal demonstrates, based on solar and lunar charts, that original lunar dates given in the Bikrami calendars for Guru purabs do not take into account changes in lunar cycles. What would have been the lunar Bikrami date given for Guru Nanak's birth in 1469 will not be the same date years, centuries later. The progressive shift in the position of the moon affecst both the beginning of each month and Sangrands. In fact, under the Bikrami calendar gurpurabs do not fall on the same date year after year, and in some years gurpurabs are skipped.. So Purewal used a method of triangulation by which he could match the original solar Bikrami dates to changeable Julian calendar dates (European calendar) and fixed Gregorian calendar dates. Via this method, all gurpurabs would be fixed and would not change according to lunar timetables. He gives this example of how he did it: [I][COLOR="Blue"]The original date of Shaheedi of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib is 11 Maghar, 1732 BK / 11 November, 1675 Julian. We have converted 11 Maghar in the Nanakshahi calendar to 24th November Gregorian. This date, i.e. 11 Maghar ,will always fall on 24th November. [/COLOR][/I] The great irony however is this. The original Bikram purab of Guru Nanak was the first day of Vaisakh. Purewal kept to the original solar date. Not until 2010/2012 with the SGPC revision of the Nankashai calendar does the gurpurab change to the November date. Purewal states: [I][COLOR="Blue"] We have discarded the lunar calendar of sudis, and vadis for the determination of the dates of Gurpurbs. However Guru Nanak Sahib’s parkash Gurpurb, and Bandi Chhor Divas (Divali) shall continue to be celebrated according to the old calendar. However, yielding to the pressure from the ‘Sants’ Hola Muhalla date was also made an exception. Even this did not appease the ‘Sants’ . [/COLOR][/I] [B]To answer your question: According to the original Bikrami date of April 14 or 1 Vaisakh we have Guru Nanak's Parkash. It is a fair inference that Guru Gobind Singh chose April 15 (originally 3 Vaisakh) to give birth to the khasla. [/B] This will make your brain swell but here are the calculations [url]http://www.purewal.biz/Gurbani_and_Nanakshahi_Calendar.pdf[/url] [/QUOTE]
