I was originally called "Namgyal Wangdi," but as a child my name was changed to "wealthy-fortunate-follower-of-religion." in my own language. My exact birth date in May was unknown so when I was 39 I decided to start celebrating it on May 29th.

Must be a common name in that neck of the woods:
I have a feeling this guy has been closer to God than even the Dali Lama. He and a New Zealand beekeeper.
