The SGGS is our GURU. The SRM is a Document that suggests a way and the WAY points to the GURU. One can even take the entire name from the GURU....eg my mother was named Gurcharan....my dad Darbara....which are complete words occuring in Gurbani..and so is NARAYANj and JYOT...

Its a sign of RESPECT that a SIKH goes to the GURDWARA to give his THANKS shukrana, ardass of Thanksgiivng and then asks the GURU for a Name to the GIFT the Sikh received from the GURU. Nothing wrong with that. People are simply splitting hairs and fanning their ego. Of course many can argue that Guru Arjun Ji certainly didnt spend so much time in preparing the SGGS simply so that people could take it home to get their new home blessed..or to get married....or to grace the opening of their new showroom/factory/mansion/school/college.kirtan darbar..as usually happens these days ??? IS the GURU's presence at a New Home Warming...showroom opening..anand karaj ceremony..factory udhghatan (opening ceremony) etc important ? necessary ?? or ??? didnt GUru Arjun Ji think this would happen ?? was the 10 Human Guurs so "invited" by Sikhs of the time ?? 1469-1708 ?? Did the Sikhs of that time ever CONSULT the GURU on such matters ?? Of course they did and thus all sikhs now have the RIGHT to consult and invite and have the GURU GRACE their premises and ceremonies by His Presence..however "petty" and "minor" these may look to some....

2. Its all ok to have the same name for father and son...if they can live with the confusion ..ha ha. BTW one of my relations who happened to be the eldest son and whose father died when all the other brothers and sisters were mere children....got the siblings to sign away their rights to all the 100 Killas (acres) of ancestral land in Punjab to himself..( Uttar adhikaree or Power of Attorney).....and as time passed he got his GRANDSON named the same name as the GRANDFATHER (Original OWNER of the 100 Killas land in Punjab,....KISHAN SINGH)....and thus managed to GRAB the entire land as the deed shows KISHAN SINGH as sole owner. Now 50 years later the other siblings are filing a case...but "KISHAN SINGH" sold the land and all the money has disappeared into Malaysian banks...long ago.....!!! So same names can be beneficial too..ha ha ha..
