Are there any good websites or anything about this faith? I just checked (via google) several Sikh sites; some hadn’t been updated in a while. [This site](http://www.sikhnet.com) is probably the most comprehensive I’ve visited; it is the 3HO-run Sikh site. I would actually recommend, for a broader view, a visit to [Wikipedia](http://www.wikipedia.com) ; at the end of the entry on Sikhism is a listing of links, including links to the Guru Granth, and to Gurbani Kirtan sites where you can listen to audiofiles of kirtan. Please note that I just provided a link to the main Wikipedia site (at least I hope that I did!); you’ll just have to put “sikhism” into their search function. Hope this helps! ---

In this part of Western Canada, there are lots of Sikhs, so I am somewhat familiar with the religion. I know that most Sikh men have the middle name Singh (I seem to remember being told it means “Lion”), and I was told that most Sikh women have the middle name Kaur. Does Kaur have a meaning like Singh? ---
