Gurpurabs according to the Mool Nanakshahi Calendar
The Mool Nanakshahi Calendar is a variation of the Nanakshahi calendar, which is used by some Sikhs to determine the dates of significant religious events and festivals. The Mool Nanakshahi calendar is based on the exact astronomical calculations of the Bikrami calendar, which is the traditional lunar calendar used in the Indian subcontinent. It has been developed by a group of scholars and Sikh organizations to fix the dates of Sikh festivals as per the exact astronomical calculations rather than making them dependent on the Gregorian calendar. The calendar is considered more accurate than the traditional Bikrami calendar and eliminates the need for frequent adjustments.
It's worth noting that the Mool Nanakshahi calendar is not officially recognized by the Shiromani Gurdwara Parbandhak Committee (SGPC) which is the highest decision-making body of Sikh religious affairs, and its use is not as widespread as the Nanakshahi calendar.
A list of all Gurpurabs 2024 according to the Mool Nanakshahi Calendar is given below:

The purpose behind celebrating Gurpurabs
The purpose behind celebrating Gurpurab in Sikhism is to commemorate the birth or martyrdom of the Sikh Gurus and to remember and reflect on their teachings and contributions to the Sikh faith.
Gurpurab is a way for Sikhs to pay homage to their Gurus, who are considered spiritual guides and teachers. It is an opportunity for Sikhs to come together in a Gurdwara (Sikh temple) to listen to hymns and prayers being recited, to participate in kirtan (hymn singing), and to hear Katha (discourse) on the life and teachings of the Guru.
Gurpurab also serves as a reminder for Sikhs to follow the teachings and principles of the Guru and to lead a moral and ethical life. It is an opportunity for Sikhs to reflect on the Guru's message and to recommit to living a life of devotion and service to others.
Additionally, Gurpurab is an occasion to celebrate the values of Sikhism like equality, justice, and compassion, and to promote unity and brotherhood among the Sikh community. It also serves as an opportunity to share the teachings of the Guru with others, and to spread the message of Sikhism to the wider community.
So we can say, that the main purpose behind celebrating Gurpurab in Sikhism is to remember and honor the lives and teachings of the Sikh Gurus, to reflect on their messages, to recommit to living a moral and ethical life, and to promote the unity and brotherhood within the Sikh community.
