Hi so I'm currently in med school and I should be finishing in September 2015, i'm not going to practice picking up the degree and my parents know this part and there ok with my decision. So as being in med school I have been being more and more intrigued into sikhi and was wondering if someone can start guiding me how to start preparing for amrit of course this will take time as I want to be certain I can live that lifestyle. I mean Like to be honest I don't know punjabi or gurmukhi all to well that's one of my main issue I feel more comfortable in english but I'm willing to learn gurmukhi. I hope a singh or a kaur can guide me and put me on the right path.Hopefully like have daily talks so if I have any questions they can answer it. I'm 22 years old and I feel like its just a calling for me and just that I need help who can practically be my teacher, and if someone does respond to my message I will gladly private message them.

A good overview of what Amrit is and what it does. Despite the website being of a Jathebandi, it is applicable across all Sikhs.

A good bit of advice is to practice prior to taking the step. Practice being an Amritdhari Sikh - wake up at Amritvela, do Paath of Nitnem Banian, wear Kakkars and embody what is required to be an Amritdhari Sikh. It will give you the practical exposure to what you will be doing after Amrit, present you with the challenges and some of the benefits of being a Gursikh. Don't take setbacks with depression - strive harder to achieve your goals and when you feel ready, go to the Punj Pyare and they will decide if you are ready.

If you are desparate for Amrit and feel that you absolutely cannot wait another minute/hour/day, you should present yourself in front of the Punj Pyare and they will decide your fate and advise you if you are not ready or bestow Amrit to you if you are. Remember that their word is Law - you are bound to it until death.

If they say "no", which sometimes they do, I would believe that they change their minds if you go later as more prepared. Bhai Jugraj Singh took Amrit as soon as he started his journey before he could practice everything.

It is up to the Sikh presenting himself/herself in front of the Punj Pyare too. Shaheed Bhai Fauja Singh went twice. The first time, the Punj Pyare said no, he returned. The second time he went, they said no, he refused to leave. The Punj Pyare told him to go lie on the train tracks and await their response. He departed to the train tracks. The Punj Pyare sent a Singh and said when a train nears, see if he flees or stays. If he stays, tell him to come back here. He laid on the train tracks, a train approached and he did not budge. The Singh sent by the Punj Pyare said for Bhai Fauja Singh to get up, he refused, saying that he would only get up when the Punj Pyare themselves would tell him to get up. The Singh dragged Bhai Fauja Singh off the tracks. The Punj Pyare found him worthy to give Amrit to.

So yes, the Punj Pyare can always say yes whenever they so choose.

Sant Baba Attar Singh Mastuana was asked why he gave Amrit to everyone, even those who were not kesadhari, but presented themselves in front of the Punj Pyare for Amrit. He stated that it is like farming - the farmer sews the seeds, and it is by the karams of the seeds that some blossom forth and others will remain ungerminated.

There is more at play in the game of Amrit than can be fully expressed here. If you have the desire, present yourself in front of the Punj Pyare and let the Divine Drama play out as intended.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
