I've been a Sikh for a few years now, but I've never gotten a proper Sikh first name. I feel like I should adopt a proper Sikh name, but there is no way for me to visit a gurdwara in order to get a gurmukhi letter.

A thread created to discuss the importance of sangat and Gurdwara Sahib in your spiritual and cultural life. Once someone I know said gurdwara was just a Punjabi social club. It hurt to hear that. What he was missing was the way that gurdwara supports and maintains Sikhi -- in every way. In the...
