[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Sikh Calendar
[/FONT][FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The years of the Nanakshahi Sikh calendar start with the birth of Guru Nanak in 1469, 2008 is considered Nanakshahi 540. The calendar is based on the length of the tropical solar year, instead of the lunar cycle, meaning that dates will not fluctuate from year to year as they did previously under the old lunar based calendar.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]The Sikh New Year begins with Chet 1 which in the Common Era calendar is March 14.[/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Some terms used in the Sikh calendar include Parkash which means birth, Gurgadi which means ascension to Guruship and Jotijot which means death.[/FONT]

[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Movable Dates [/FONT] [FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Three events are still celebrated according to the lunar calendar, meaning that their dates change every year. [/FONT]
[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif]Guru Nanaks birthday has been traditionally celebrated on Katik Poornamashi. Althought the correct birth date according to the majority of Janamsakhis has been established as Vaisakh 1 (April 14), it continues to be celebrated on Katik Poornamashi until such time as it is changed to Vaisakh 1. Katik Pooranmashi in 2008 is on November 13. [/FONT]
