Before i took Amrit they were doing Kirtan and they were doing this One Shabad for about an hour and 15 mins, it woz so peacefull! Ever since, this Shabad has stuck in my head and i sorta believe itz a message to me, so i looked it up and it could not be more perfect........ iehu qnu mwieAw pwihAw ipAwry lIqVw lib rMgwey ] ih tan maa-i-aa paahi-aa pi-aaray leet-rhaa lab rangaa-ay.

vaheguru ji ka khalsa vaheguru ji ki fateh ਕਬੀਰ ਨਉਬਤਿ ਆਪਨੀ ਦਿਨ ਦਸ ਲੇਹੁ ਬਜਾਇ ॥ Kabīr naubaṯ āpnī ḏin ḏas lėho bajāė. Kabeer, take your drum and beat it for ten days. ਨਦੀ ਨਾਵ ਸੰਜੋਗ ਜਿਉ ਬਹੁਰਿ ਨ ਮਿਲਹੈ ਆਇ ॥੮੦॥ Naḏī nāv sanjog jio bahur na milhai āė. Life is like people meeting on a boat on a river; they shall not meet again. ਨਉਬਤਿ = drum; ਆਪਨੀ = your; ਦਿਨ = day; ਦਸ = 10; ਲੇਹੁ = take ਬਜਾਇ = play, sound; ਨਦੀ = river; ਨਾਵ = boat; ਸੰਜੋਗ = association, meeting, union; ਬਹੁਰਿ = fer, again, in the future; ਮਿਲਹੈ = meet. This follows on from the last Salok. The drum metaphor in the first line could mean many things but I'll stick with just one (or maybe two) ideas for…

WJKK WJKF I found this article while i was surfing on the Internet. It was on WWW.DUSHTDAMAN.com ਕਿਤੇ ਕਿਸਨ ਸੇ ਕੀਟ ਕੋਟੈ ਉਪਾਏ, ਉਸਾਰੇ ਗੜੇ ਫਿਰ ਮੇਟੇ ਬਨਾਏ॥ He hath Created millions of Krishnas like worms. He Created them, annihilated them, again destroyed them, still again Created them. ਕਿਤੇ ਕ੍ਰਿਸਨ ਸੇ ਕੀਟ ਕੋਟੈ ਬਨਾਏ ॥ ਕਿਤੇ ਰਾਮ ਸੇ ਮੇਟਿ ਡਾਰੇ ਉਪਾਏ ॥ Somewhere He hath created millions of servants like Krishna. Somewhere He hath effaced and then created (many) like Rama. (pg.98) ਰਾਮ ਰਹੀਮ ਉਬਾਰ ਨ ਸਕਹੈ ਜਾਕਰ ਨਾਮ ਰਟੈ ਹੈ॥ ਬ੍ਰਹਮਾ ਬਿਸ਼ਨ ਰੁਦ੍ਰ ਸੂਰਹ ਸਸਿ ਤੇ ਬਸਿ ਕਾਲ ਸਭੈ ਹੈ ॥੧ (ਸ. ਹਜਾਰੇ) Ram and Rahim whose names you are uttering cant save you. Brahma, Vishnu Shiva, Sun and Moon, all are s…

If a person wants to take Amrit, whats involved? What questions will the panj piareys ask if any? How should we dress ie 5k's? What if we dont own a kirpan or kanga? Do women have to wear a kachera too? What if the persons husband/wife is not taking Amrit the same time? What if a person starts crying during the Amrit ceremony? Is the Amrit Sanskar carried out in front of al the Sangat?
