Mines really boring, i asked my mum why they called me Harpreet, apparently it's because it sounded nice!

But this is a good excuse to ask, does anyone know what my name means, some people have said it means to love everyone Har - Preet, but others have said it means to love god...

The Guru's Sikh keeps the Love of the Lord, and the Name of the Lord, in his mind. He loves You, O Lord, O Lord King.

I have a twin bro, and my letter frm the hukamnama came out as an A. Our word was Abinasee, so my bro was meant to be a B coz he was born last, but nobody wanted his name to begin with b, grin.gif so they gave him a too. So I got Amrit and he got Ajit - which is really annoying coz we get called the AA twins tongue.gif

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Like Bhai Uttam Singh Ji I was also named by a Sant Mahapursh who visited our home and blessed us with their holy presence two days after I was born.

Mahapursh took a hukamnama and wrote it on a piece of paper, which my mother keeps in her room. Under the hukamnama he wrote my name - Rajinder Singh.

(Uttam Singh Ji maybe we were named by the same Mahapursh who was 'ik mik' with Waheguru?)

My log-in here is my pre-amrit Christian baptismal name plus Singh.

SGGSJ gave me Bh at amrit. I chose Bhavjeet because the description of the translation seemed like a powerful message. From the reactions that I've gotten, it's apparently an unusual choice.

    • 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?
