Now a days 16 Haarh occurs on 30 June because of change from Julian Calendar to Gregorian in 1752 CE (a difference of 13 days in this century). Moreover,Haarh Sangrand in 1698 was on 30 May, while the same now is on 15 June Nanakshahi calendar.

The date of completion of‘Krishan Avtar’is also given in Saakhi # 43 of Guru Kian Sakhian1 by Bh. Saroop Singh Kaushish.

Sawan Sudi 5 – August 3 (Julian), Bhadon 2, and Sawan Sudi 12 – August 10, 1687 (Julian), Bhadon 9. Out of

these two dates, in my opinion, the first date is more likely, because it is Panchami.

Samvat 1753 Bhadav sudi 8, Sunday.

Date of Completion of ‘Chritropakhyan’

According to the Bikrami Calendar which begins on Chet Sudi 1, and which was prevalent in Punjab, it was

Tuesday on Bhadon Sudi 8, 1753 Bikrami, August 25, 1696 CE.

In Saakhi 55, Guru Kian Sakhian (Punjabi)5 - Kaushish says that, ‘siqgurW ies smyN sμmq sqrW sY ATqwlI sy prwrμB

gRMQ ‘cirq®opKXwn’ sqrW sY iqrvMjw Bwdv sudI A~Ty ky idhuN sμpUrn kIAw [’ The weekday is not given, but in Dasam

Granth the date given for completion of the composition is Sunday, Bhadav sudi 8, 1753 Sambat. This date is

very problematic.

In normal parlance Bikrami Samvat years are elapsed years. When we say that Bikrami 2065 started in April 2008,

what we really mean is that 2065 years of the Bikrami Era have been completed and 2066th has started. In some

Page 14: Janam Patri - Global Sikh Studies

14

instances the date could have been written with the current (vartmaan) year designation: for example 1st Vaisakh

2065 Samvat in current year (vartman) designation is the same date as 1st Vaisakh 2064 in elapsed (gat) year

designation, and also 2065 Samvat in elapsed (gat) year designation is the same date as 1st Vaisakh 2066 in current

(vartman) year designation

There is another variation too. In north India the luni-solar Bikrami year starts with Chet Sudi 1st called ‘Chitradi

system’, and in Gujarat, Maharashtra, and in some southern states in India the year

begins 7 months later on Kartik Sudi 1 - the day after Divali and is known as Kritadi system.

When the given weekday of the tithi is out by more than 1 day from the correct day on that tithi, then the historical

date is considered spurious. But before rejecting such date it has to be checked in ‘elapsed/gat’ and

‘current/vartmaan’ systems, as well as in Chitradi and Kritadi. When I was working on my ‘Jantri 500 years’2 I

was using Chitradi and ‘elapsed/gat’ system prevalent in north India. When calculation for Bhadrav Sudi8 Samvat

Page 15: Janam Patri - Global Sikh Studies

15

1753 was done, the weekday came to be Tuesday and not Sunday as given in Dasam Granth. I did the calculation

using different methods, but got the same result. The weekday was out by 2 days using the standard interpretation.

At that time I did not have access to any book to verify my results. I was certain about the accuracy of my

calculations for this date, since I had done them many times over using different methods. I was stuck, and at one

time I was thinking not to get the book published, just because of this date. I even thought—was it possible that in

the text of Dasam Granth ashtmi (8th ) tithi, over course of time, got somehow changed from khastmi (6th ) ? It was

Sunday on Bhadon Sudi 6 Samvat 1753. I even discussed this with Dr. Surindar Singh Kohli who stayed with us

during his visit to Edmonton. He told me that he had never come accross the word khastmi in Dasam Granth text. I

showed him the manuscript of my work—Jantri 500 years. This was published towards the end of 1994 CE. Just

about that time I bought Dasam Granth Darshan by Prof. Piara Singh Padam, and found out, to my surprise, that

he had indeed given Bhadon Sudi 6,1753 BK as the date of completion of ‘Chritropakhyan’, and not Bhadon Sudi 8

as given in the Dasam Granth. What was his source of that date ? I do not know. After some time I did, what I

should have done in the beginning, viz. check the date in other systems. Immediately, I found out that for the

Page 16: Janam Patri - Global Sikh Studies

16

calendar for Samvat 1754 in my Jantri 500 Years, the entry for Bhadon Sudi 8 had Sunday for weekday. The tithi

and weekday agreed with those given in the Dasam Granth. Now, for the year of the Samvat, even if it is elapsed

given in the Jantri, it was still 1753 in the kritadi system. The problem was solved.

The conversion :

Bhadon Sudi 8 Samvat 1753 elapsed, Chitradi system—Tuesday, 25th August 1696 CE os. Kannupillai also

givesTuesday, 25th August, 1696 CE os for this date.

Bhadon Sudi 8 Samvat 1753 elapsed - Kritadi Sunday,15th August 1697 CE os. Therefore, the correct converted

date is Sunday, 15th August 1697 CE os.

It is clear that Kaushish used this date as of Chitradi system prevalent in Punjab, because of his insertion of the

Saakhi at the place where it is. His source for the date, of course, was ‘Chritropakhyan’. However, with this Kritadi

date this section of the Saakhi does not fit where given, and has to be shifted into the next Saakhi.

Page 17: Janam Patri - Global Sikh Studies

17

There is another deep and serious implication of this date being in the Kritadi system.. Since, the Kritadi system is

prevalent in Gujrat, Maharashtra, and South India, it can be easily conjectured that the writer / translator from

original source of this part of the Granth might be from one of those areas, and perhaps one of the Court poets at

Anandpur Sahib. However, it must be mentioned that even in Punjab financial year of maintaining Vahi-Khatas

was of the Kritkadi system, but for the common man, for all practical purposes, the year was of the Chitradi

system. This date casts serious doubt on the claim that Chritropakhyan is Tenth Guru’s composition. Why would

Guru Sahib not use the commonly prevalent system, especially when he used the commonly used system in his

Hukamnamahs?

The Encyclopaedia of Sikhism (Punjabi University Patiala) gives this date as “sudi ashtmi of Bhadon 1753 BK/24th

August 1696” The converted date is wrong, since, on 24th August 1696 CE os it was Monday.

Monday, 24 February, 1696 CE (Julian)

Judh Parband Poora Hoyia/ Likhya Hardas/ “Samat 1752 Miti Chet 22”

Solar Chet dates are always a problem. Mostly historians have treated Chet as the 12th month of the solar Bikrami

Calendar, while occasionally it has been treated as the first month. Even Dr. Ganda Singh in most cases has treated

it as the 12th month, but in one instance he has definitely treated it as the first month.

If we consider Chet as the 12th month of 1752 Bikrami then the converted date would be Thursday, 19 March,

1696 CE; but, if we treat it as the first month of the year, then the converted date is Wednesday, 20 March, 1695

CE.

Conclusion:

1. The copy of the Janam Patri supposedly relating to the Parkash date and time of the Tenth Guru Sahib

shows smudging of the digit 6 in the year 1726 BK, and cutting and writing 1723 above it. All the

elements given for the date of Poh sudi 7 agree with 1726BK and not with 1723BK. If it is accepted, that

indeed this is the Janam Patri data of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib, then 1726 BK / 1669 CE will have to be

accepted as the year of Parkash, and many conflicts will arise in the dates of the events in his life. His age

at the time of Guru Tegh Bahadur Sahib’s martyrdom would be about 6 years, and at the time of his

Jyoti Jot about 39 years. In most likelihood this copy of the Janam Patri is a spurious implantation by

some not so shrewd a person, in the Patna Sahib ‘Copy’ of Dasam Granth.

2. Charitro Pakhyan date casts serious doubt on that composition being from the Tenth Guru Sahib.
