[QUOTE="Ubhiwankenobi, post: 130666, member: 8434"] Dear born2wonder, For a Sikh there is only humanity. You have a male and a female. Everybody born on this planet is born without prior knowledge from where their soul has come, what life form the soul made up. It is when you begin to be educated by your parents, your enviroment around you that you learn and make decisions about right, wrong, how to live, what to be, how to be it, you are learning. In that sense you are a Sikh for Sikh means to learn. Guru Nanak Dev Ji was born into a Hindu family but never followed through on the intiation ceremony to call himself a Hindu. Therefore being born into a Sikh family doesn't make you a Sikh. Your actions determine what you are. To be a Gursikh you must become Amritdhari you must choose a specific path many talk of it but very few walk it. The Guru's did not ask for quantity in followers they asked for quality. That is why the Akal Purkh Ki Fauj could fight 1 against 250. The fact is that you will be racially jugded by Punjabi people who could well be worse Sikhs than either of us exists. It is not for us to judge each other but for us to channel our souls in this life form to join WaheGuru upon the death of this physical body. You are accepted as a child of god if your fellow human believes himself/herself to be a better judge than god then your better of not marrying into such family as they will only pollute your mind. Having a Registrar marry you is a legal obligation in the UK and is not an issue. I would always advise that you get this done just so you are seen to be legally married. The naming process would be interesting as the Sikh way of naming a child is done with blessing from our 11th Guru. When Maharaj is opened for the first time the first letter of the first shabad is used as the first letter for the childs name. If you were to choose a name in this manner you could therefore translate the name's meaning into English and then Gaelic therefore having the same name in Gurmukhi and Gaelic in meaning anyway. E.G. [FONT=Arial][B]Rafferty [/B]Irish Gaelic means Prosperous in Gurmukhi would be [B]Sukh [/B][/FONT] [B][FONT=Arial][/FONT][/B] [FONT=Arial]These are my thoughts based on my understanding of the SIkh religion as a person born into the faith yet not following it as I should even though I know right from wrong.
