Ger­man Gur­d­waras unan­i­mously de­cide to hold Gur­purab cel­e­bra­tions on 5 Jan­u­ary and adopt Mool Nanakshahi Cal­en­dar.

Sikh Ger­mans from all Gur­d­wara bod­ies of Ger­many have unan­i­mously de­cided to cel­e­brate Guru Gob­ind Singh Gur­d­wara on 5 Jan­u­ary and adopt the Mool Nanakshahi cal­en­dar in toto. 

In a press note is­sued by Gur­cha­ran Singh Goraya of the Gur­d­wara Sikh Cen­tre Frank­furt and widely cir­cu­lated on so­cial me­dia, ten Gur­d­wara bod­ies in Ger­many have unit­edly taken the de­ci­sion to cel­e­brate the oc­ca­sion as per Mool Nanakshahi Cal­en­dar.  The press note says, “Com­mu­ni­ties can be given a death blow by de­stroy­ing their prin­ci­ples and mak­ing them men­tal slaves. The at­tempt of Jathedars to turn the Nanakshahi cal­en­dar Bikrami un­der the in­flu­ence of the RSS is a black note in con­tem­po­rary Sikh his­tory. Such at­tempts at en­slav­ing the com­mu­nity have to be de­feated al­to­gether.”
