Why does Sikh Family Goes to Gurudwara to find a sikh baby name
« on: November 03, 2010, 10:30:48 PM »
Every Day thousands and millions of baby are born. We have only 365 days in a year and the population is in millions and just do some math and find how many babies are born every day. And each new born baby whether its a girl or a boy a name is given to him/her which identifies the baby for rest of his/her life.

Really !! It is such an important thing in ones life and few parents just pick the name randomly. But responsible parents usually devote some time to pick a name.

In most of the communities naming child has to go through some kind of custom/religious practices and yes, Yes more than 60% of the world names ( or at least the first Alphabet of the name ) are picked through community/custom the respective family follows.

Sikh baby names or child born in Sikh family is no exclusion to this. So how a child gets his name ?

Why do we go to a Sikh Gurudwara ( Sikh Temple/Church/Place of worship ) to name a new born baby?
I request you all if any one has any answer to this ,,,,  rply mst.... thxxxx

ya I agree with Sarab.. Babaji di blessings layee..
But its good post to put some light over Sikh traditions that How Sikhs name new born baby..
Shortly after birth, Baby is presented to Guru Granth Sahibji for blessings and name is picked up from HUKAM, which is a random verse from the Guru Granth and is considered the Guru's divine command. The first Gurmukhi letter of the verse, determines the first letter of the name.

 And Second method is A HUKUM  is selected every morning at the Golden Temple or "Gurdwara Harmandir", in Amritsar India, and can be consulted online the day of a baby’s birth, N New baby could be named according to that. :happy:

A sikh's life starts with the Guru, the one that helps us reach God.
