Waheguru ji ka khalsa, waheguru ji kee fateh. I know of people who have taken Amrit that come from non gursikh families and after a number of years their parents or one parent takes Amrit. My question is do people do ardas to maharaj for their families to become amritdhari?

Hey guys, So i am amrit shak and I want to know how I can undo it. I got amrit because i wanted a sense of belonging somewhere. But to be honest its been like 3 years and my love for prayers and gurudawra has probably decreased. I just dont enjoy it. I feel like its not me. My family is super religious and would probably kill me if they find out about this. I want piercings, hair cuts, I want to drink, and the list goes on. Of course I haven’t done any of that yet cause I feel bad but nowadays I just dont care about sihki that much. And is it possible to be a sikh and another religion at the same time, because I feel I cant become a gursikh but I eant to work towards somethings. And please go off on me saying Im a <banned word filter activated> or disgrace because I already know I am one and dont really care, I just need help please help

WJKK WJKF Ji I am 12 years old I keep my rehit and wake up at 2-3 every day and do paat my parents won’t allow me to take Amrit I take hukamnama every day and it always says take Amrit but my parents don’t listen what should I do always show it to them but they don’t listen I keep my rehit I follow the rehit for Amrit
-
My name wasn’t decided from taking hukamnama when born (cos my family didn’t follow sikhi then) So when I take amrit do I have to be given a new name? I mean first name cos I already use Singh to my surname

I am going to be a father soon. Most of the people give their newborns a drop of honey as "gudti" and the saying is that the person who gives the child gudti passes on his nature qualities to the baby. I do not believe in that but it is a tradition and often there are funny conversation which goes on in families. My question is what is the gurmat maryada of it and does it have to be right away after the baby is born? I know some people make amrit and give choola when the baby arrives home from the hospital. So if I want to do something like that can we prepare the amrit in advance and take that with us to the hospital and give a drop of that to the baby?

hi this boy I know has a big problem he told me and I don't know what to do, so basically he hasn't comb he's hair for a bit as he rushes when he ties he's dastaar as he just makes he's Bunga and didn't even brush it. and now he has massive knots and he wants to take when out but he's not sure what to do he's really stressed because they are not coming out as its such a big big knot like its most of he's hair its been so long , what should he do I think the only option is to cut it but he is amritari should he just leave it because he doesn't want to break Amrit by cutting hair but also he wants to sort it out what should he do cut it thank you

Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji ki Fateh. I am a 27 year old man living in India. I've born into a Hindu family, and have had a fondness of the Sikh religion in my initial days. Long story short, my fondness turned into devotion. A Singh suggested me to meditate on the Naam and read Japji Sahib when I wasn't doing a lot good in life mentally. Currently, I've been on it, and trying to live a life as much as per the Hukam of Dasam Pita. But I have a question, to all the Amritdhari Singh's, that how did they know it was time to get baptized ? And how is life going to be different for me if I get baptized. Bhul chuk maaf karnee. Akaal ??

Waheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh! Lets suppose that I am a "transgender Sikh" who was originally biologically male but now identify as a female. Lets assume that I receive "Khand Di Phaul", which is the official initiation into the Khalsa Panth. Would I then call myself a Singh or a Kaur? What does Gurbani or Rehat have to say on this? -
I tie a taksali dumala, but i am wondering what is the history behind it. Apparently the singhs in guru jis time used to wear nihang dumala and used used to wear chakars on them. When was the taksali dumala style made? who made it? is there a reason why taksalis wear this dumala? -
Vaheguroo ji ka khalsaa vaheguroo ji ki fatehh i recently came back from visiting hazoor sahib for the first time I feel ashamed and violated. i was just outside the takht complex with 20 other “gursikhs” who were all in their bana and wearing shastar they handed me a drink telling me it was rattani which I thought meant rose water however I took one sip and immediately realised this wasn’t rose water but was infact alcohol I questioned the “gursikh” who handed me it and he starting laughing and confirmed it was infact alcohol they were all drinking it and said this is true “Sikhi” and that if I don’t like it I should go somewhere else I felt ashamed of my self and ran back to my accommodation and spent all day there crying. I am really ashamed of myself and I feel I have broken my Amrit and I’m extremely scared to go pesh and admit my mistake. do I need to go pesh because it was not intently or do I need to go ?! Please help

I'm a keshdhari working towards the eventual goal of taking amrit. Ive seen alot (specically females) having lazer treatment done before taking amrit. i'm tempted to do the same, just so i don't remove any hair or have the urges to after taking amrit and commit a kerit. whats the sangat's opinions on lazer treatment before taking amrit? technically your not a gursikh yet, or amritdhari, or a khalsa. so why not right? seen plently of girls with issues having it done before amrit too and they're happier afterwards and full of confidence having not taken that step and then done the business.

Vaheguroo Jee Kaa Khalsaa Vaheguroo Jee Kee Fateh!! Sadh sangat ji, I am looking for some direction/advice. I took Amrit at a young age but ended up doing kuraits such as drinking alcohol, smoking and cocaine at one stage. It was a tough time I was going through but no excuse as I still had love for Sikhi. Whilst doing this I never slaughtered my Kes in any way. I always had a deep feeling of guilt whilst doing the above and hid it from everyone (the activities and guilt). Later I met someone also Amritdaari and she had done a kurait as well. I did not disclose my kuraits although she as aware that I was 'Amritdaari' and had taken my Sri Sahib off but kept all other four kakkars. We become a couple and one thing led to another. Anyway, we are no longer together as she passed away in a fatal accident when she was in India. I have upped my Gurbani and Simran so much with Maharaaj's kirpa since. I went to do pesh 2 years ago and took Amrit again. I wasn't able to fully explain all the kuraits I had done as one of the Panj Piyaaray just began shouting at me for the first thing I explained which is fair enough but I still feel my pesh was not complete becuase I didn't get a chance to have a word again due to the amount of praani's taking Amrit that day. Since then I have been in touch with someone and we are really close. Problem is she is married and not happy. Kaam has always been a BIG weakness of mine although I have only been with one person. I have failed again Sangat ji. Having so much knowledge of Gurbani and doing so much Simran and Seva I have still fallen. I want to sort myself out again but need to wait until I can really keep on track and get my avasta to that level. Amrit is priceless and I still remember the Panj Piyaara saying "amrit baar baar nee mildha". I would like to know if anyone has been or is in the same situation or how many times people have been to pesh and taken Amrit? Sorry for the long story but I thought I would explain the situation(s). Thank you very any answers, feedback and guidance in advance.

Hi to all, So I have problem, maybe it's not even a problem, maybe it's my insecurities I don't know. So I'm ready to take Amrit 100%. I do my Paath, I don't remove no hair whatsoever and try to be a good human being in general. So I believe when I do take Amrit my head should be covered at all times . However I am having trouble with this. So I've been practicing the Dastar for many months now and it simply does not suit me. I know you are probably thinking I am silly for even writing this but it does not suit my face. I've also tried different styles. So i figured I would wear a patka instead but I have a weird shaped head or something (lol), I don't know but patka don't look good at all. I don't know why I am even writing this post, I guess most of the replies will tell me I have insecurity issues and need to be more confident. I'm not really insecure at all . I have slight facial hair on my upper lip. I often have people at work, other girls saying I need to wax but I couldn't care less what others think about it. However I just want to tie a nice dastar that suits my face. :( Is there any other people out there, that faced same issue with dastar, I've tried many styles :(

How do I confess such personal and taboo subjects to the panj piyare for my peshi?
Guest posted a topic in GUPT FORUM
the first time I took Amrit, I was 5 years old. After plenty of mistakes and growing I had taken it again at the age of 12 from pressure (not all of it was bad but some auntiyan were really urging me to just do it even though my family was warning me of all my responsibilities) and just pure desire to want it. It was at a camp and they really motivate you well. I kept it up for a while and ended up doing many wrongful things afterwards. I’ve plucked my eyebrows because I started getting insecure and ashamed, and just some of my facial hair in general after I got judgemental comments even from my own mother who is Amritdhari, I’ve removed a small amount from legs a couple times where my leg was exposed, once even because I childishly wanted to see what a razor feels like (not sure if this was before or after I took it again). But I’ve had my fair share of mess ups. I kissed a boy and once he took Amrit we never did again and are on a better path now where we don’t even see each other in real life. I feel like I have to confess to that and I’m not sure how. The worst one for me is confession removing pubic hair a few times for comfort purposes especially during period a few times. I just can’t find any way to do that so simply. I know I have to confess everything I can remember because if I don’t then I will be punished after I leave this world so I might as confess now and take the tankha especially because I do very much feel guilty for it all. I don’t know what I was thinking. But I’m terrified of how to say all this. Like wording-wise and just bringing it up in general. -

WJKK WJKF Sangat ji What should be done in case one of members in couple wants to partake amrit few years after marriage? To set up context, I was non kesadhari sikh few years back and married a hindu girl. Few years into a marriage and few setbacks in life, I started reading gurbani and doing sangat a lot. Still was non kesadhari then. Kep full rehit of baani including nitnem, kirtan, sangat , simran etc. Nitnem (all 7 banis) were kanth to me. My wife continued followed her religion and there was no interference. She would join me for gurudwara but still do her own thing at home. Fast forward few years and another major setback, I kept my kesh and did prakash of dahra sahib. Started doing sehaj path and more strict in my rehit including hours of nitnem, kirtan. In fact I have reached a stage whenever I am free, I would either listen to kirtan, katha or read gurbani related books or memorize Gurbani - No TV or any activity that world calls entertainment. My wife supported me and I was able to make her understand about one God and life of Sikh. Now I have got too much ahead and I feel there is a call from Guru Gobind Singh for Amrit chakk and I am totally ready and excited. Now some people say that both partners have to take amrit together. In my case, my wife may take years to just get onto Sikhi path or may refuse altogether. She is following all sikh traditions but she is also following hindu way. She listen to path I am doing sometimes. My problem is that should I go ahead and take Amrit which I really want to? May be if Guru sahib showers blessings, she will join sometime in future. Remember, she doesn't have any issue with me taking amrit. Having suffered huge setbacks in life, I don't want to wait further and want to start my new journey asap. For me Guru sahib is most important and other relationships come later. Should I take the jump or wait for my wife to join. It may happen that she doesn't change and I may be without amrit for whole life which is certainly very-2 distressing for me. Can amritdhari man stay with non amritdhari wife? If yes, what are the usual dos and don'ts
