Wheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Wheguru Ji ke Fateh


Can you tell me when choosing the a name for a new born how to the tell the difference between Sikh and Hindu names. I have looked at some name and they look Hindu but see that Sikhs have this name too how do you tell the difference

Sikh names usually have a meaning according to gurmat....

for example someone's name maybe Gurmukh which means a person who keeps their muk(face) towards the Guru (Gur). you could also link this name to Guru Gobind Singh ji who said "Khalsa mero roop hai khas" so if your living a gursikhi jeevan then you have the Gurus (Gur) face(Mukh) :waheguru:

anyway easy clue is that a typical Sikh name will either end in deep, preet ,jeet, vir, inder or pal! and probably start with, Gur, Har, Man, Jas, sukh.... :lol:

There isnt a rule. Some names are hindu names and some are sikh. Simple as. Its like u have some that are muslim names, some jewish and some christian. The name has some sort of relation to the religion.

These days, alot of people are going for short mixed names eg. Priya, riya, maya, aron, jay...etc. but what is the meaning of these names? A name is a persons identity. Its a massive thing. Unfortunately we just want something thats short so goray can say it with ease (how lame) and it should sound nice (who cares what it means).

The kids gunna grow up and ask his/her parents what his/her name means...thats gunna be awkward huh? Well kaka, it means jack all.

If you have any names in mind, do share :)

Make sure you name them after warriors of Sikh history, not world history.

Well wat wud b the point in just naming them after sikh warrior names, wen really thats my whole point of being bit different with kids names?

Thing is, sikhs have alot of names which dont even have anyfink 2 do with sikh dharam. Names like alamghir, iqbal, tanvir, ram, even hanuman r names that come frm other faiths, yet they r acceptable, so y not names of famous non-sikh warriors?

Names such as sikander (alexander), kamal (kamal mustafa attaturk), jujhar (sahibzada) r the 3 names that i was thinkin of. Even hari (nalwa). Obviously every name has to be taken into special consideration, i mean if an apna names their kid joshua/muhammed/moses/joseph/hailie/mazda etc then that wud be takin it too far.

Wat do u say?

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
