Sangrand originates from the Sanskrit word Sans-Kranti (literally: sun-dependent change or sun-related actions) The sun and moon have both been a regular feature of Indian spirituality from the Vedic times. Some gods correspond to both planets (Sus and Ruv) and many rituals such as baths, and fasts. pilgrimages and distributions of charity are tied closely to the positions and movements of these two celestial bodies. The underlying principle of fixing rituals to days on the calendar is that certain days are auspicious, and some are bad (therefore activity should be avoided on these days). Others - though inauspicious - can be salvaged by the interventions of spiritual persons or religious chants and rites to turn them into good days.
By operational definition, sangrand is the first day of the 12 months that make up the Indian solar calendar. The full moon day on this calendar is called Puran Mashi, and the moonless night is called Masya.

5 Sangrand in Gurmat?
Sikhs must be aware that the terminology for Sikh spiritual celebrations is Gur Purab (literally events relating to the Guru). Bhai Gurdas Ji captures this spirit: Qurban Tina Gursikha, Bhae Bhagat Gurpurab Karenday. (I am a sacrifice to the Sikhs who in love and devotion celebrate Gurpurabs). This is in line with the Gurmat principle that a day is not celebrated or shunned simply because it is a full moon. After all, there is an eclipse. After all, it is a Thursday, or because it is the first of the week, month, or year. Such a principle is the crux of Birpran Kee Reet. The crux of Gurmat is to celebrate events that connect to our Guru. Anything that connects to Birpran Kee Reet connects to pakhand. But all that connects to our Guru connects us to Sach Khand.
