cool thread!

well, my Hukamnama came as a Oorhaa, but they were going to ask a certain Mahpurash who was Ik Mik with Vaheguroo (I wont say who) what to name me.

So he told my parents to name me Uttam Singh, and then he did an ardaas, he told us that it was accepted in Sachkhand :@ .

how about "Ollu- owl" lol grin.gif:):@

I was born in a Hindu family. My first name was that of a Hindu deity which was kept maybe for a few days. After that there was news that another kid of the same name had died in our neighborhood, so out of superstition my family changed my name. My cousin who was from Canada (and whose mom was Sikh) had a friend by my former Hindu name (I always knew I had some sort of relation with Canada), and he named me.

On June 6, 2004, on the 20th anniversary of the attack on Sri Darbar Sahib, I was at the Shaheedi Samagam in Chicago. It was here that the Singhs finally gave me my Sikh name. The letter was "M", and there were many options, including Manveer, Manpreet, etc. One was Mengha Singh, but one Singh joked that I would never be able to go to India with that kind of name. So we called up one penji in California (who is the sole reason why I got to meet so much sangat in the first place) and woke her up. She suggested Mehtab, to which the sangat agreed to immediately.

It was the day Sri Darbar Sahib was attacked, it was the name of a Singh who had avenged the beadbi of Sri Darbar Sahib 200 years ago. pray.gif

My parents respected Baba Ajit Singh (Coventry aka Ajit Darbar) and so before I was born they asked him and he said I would be a boy and to call me Bikram.

My parents also respected this guy called "Raja Sahib"; he has a Gurdwara in India near our pind that kinda acts as a dog sanctuary (loads of dogs everywhere), so they asked him before I was born and he said Bikram aswell.

I ask my mum if we asked from Guru Ji but shes not too sure ohmy.gif :closedeyes:

So anyway my Dad cant spell so on the birth certificate they wrote "Bickrma" something along those lines, by the time I went to school my dad had got slightly better at spelling and registered me as "Bicram" and this unique mis-spelt name has stuck :@ ...need to do something about that birth certificate though blink.gif

and thats my name :)

What does Bickram/Vikram/Bicram mean?

I know Its named after some Indian Raja agesss ago in whos era a calendar was invented or something. But there must be another meaning other than the name of a calendar? :@

no sir that is the only reason of name Bikram . He was the brother of a famous nath Bhanger Nath. bikram is one of the most famous kings of bharat. cool name.

my name is chatanga. i aint telling any1 wot it means.

MY STORY IS QUITE INTERESTING.

still i dnt know the reason behind my name JAGJEET SINGH, but its means one who rules over world or like one has victory over world.

BUT AS GURU SAHIB SAID MANN JEETEY JAG JEET

I can only prove my name when i can controal my mind my mann and my name keeo encouraging me to prove myself. My daadi ji gave this name to me when GURU SAHIB GAVE HUKAM OF LETTER J

I remember that they wrote 4-5 names on parchian and folded them and choosed one and it was JAGJEET SINGH.

but my nick name SUNNY is the thought of my mom's cousin sister ( my maasi).

those days phones were not common ( 1986) and my masi wrote a letter to us and told to keep my name SUNNY, coz during that time a film of SUUNY DEOL was super hit. ohmy.gif:)

and after four years when my brother born, then GURU SAHIB gave us letter M. and my daadi and other family members again i think used the same paarchian way and he got the name MANJEET SINGH lolllllllllll

main keha aa ta naam puthe ho gaye.

pehla MANJEET HUNDA FE JAGJEET HUNDA......

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
