Summary of Question:	Re. About Change In Vaisakhi
Category:	General Sikhism
Date Posted:	Wednesday, 4/14/2004 1:19 PM MDT

In accordance to the hukam passed from the Akal Thakt, all sikhs muct follow the the newly formed sikh callendar - The NanakShahi Calendar

The Nanakshahi calendar is just like sikhi - scientifically based, the calendar is based on lunar months making it one of the most correct calendars in use on the Earth.

Thus we now no longer have the problem of following the indian calendar, which is incorrect. (where in some years guru gobind singhs gurpurb is celebrated twice and some years no at al) The Nanakshahi calendar states that Vaisakhi falls on the 14th of April, and by not accepting this, you are breaking hukam passed from the throne of the akal Thakt

We had the problem of not following the nanakshahi calendar in Derby (UK), upon which the Gurdwara was reported to the Akal Thakt, The Gurdwara acted quickly to accept the Nanakshahi calendar, as ordered by the akal thakt.

I hope this clarrifies any misunderstandings
