Amrit Sanchar -

[JaMdooT]

^^^

I agree totally with you, everyone has diff prespective and for a lot of you this isn't an issue at all but thats why wanted to know how do u guys view this so I can have a better understanding....I am not trying to disprove or saying anything to offend anyone ..

[JaMdooT]

and really i guess, well to protect the sacredness, sort of, of taking amrit.

oh wait also when people go pesh, it's very important that only they and the panj piyare ( i think) hear what their kurehit was and give adequate punishment. if the room was not enclosed and you went to a amrit sanchar and you saw a chardi kala singh, that you knew, taking amrit again, you might start speculating and saying things. but that should only stay within that room so i guess that's one of the main reasons.

forgive me if i said anything wrong and i, like everyone else i'm sure, am only rying to help

now that clears some of it...

thank U

think about this jamdoot veer,

would you to like be in the opration theather when a child is taking birth? especially if that child is not your own ??

If sangat is allowed to sit in the amrit sinchaar ceremonies and just watch, they'll die of shame . Such an amazing thing is happening in front of their eyes and all they can do is sit and watch, why not be a part of it. So it for their own good, this is for non-amritdharis.

and yeah the 2nd reason is the gursikhs who go pesh.

It is not some sort of show that people can watch from the side lines.

This is a very very important life changing event, why should there be on lookers how did not have the guts to put themselves forward for amrit taking.

This event is confidential between the Guru and his disciples only and non else. This is where Sikh is spiritually tied to his Guru. Why do you have docters seeing patients behind closed doors or any sort of meeting behind closed doors? Because only those directly invovled are allowed in.

So a person who hasn't committed himslf to his Guru can then just look on, Why?

Why should there be any "kuchay pillay" onlookers looking on ?

Just a personal opinion, your statements were kinda rude... or atleast I thought so

Its really amazing and I admire everyone of you for taking Amrit but you have to realize that you don't get to that state in an instant. Its not like the ones who haven't taken Amrit aren't tied to Guruji. Not everyone is chardi kala and some have to work much more than others to be able to fully commit yourself.

I just asked that question because I was troubled by it, Guru Gobind Singh ji gave Amrit to panj payare and then recieved Amrit himself when a whole range of people were present. And I choose to disagree with anyone who says that Guru Sahib gave Amrit secretly to the people. Each and every single soul who recieved Amrit that day was a blessed one but they did that when others were present.

Know what.. I thought I'd ask a question in here and hopefully I will be able to understand and remove some of my doubts on Sikhi... but guess I failed to realize that ya'll will divert the main topic and are more interested in dissing this and that, rather than helping a fellow mate...

Bhul Chuk mauf...

thanks for all your replies...

so you still chose what you wanted to belive??

paji i found my answer in the topic. Basically the ceromony is something personal and very special. so personal like a doctor wont allow random people to watch him deal with a patient in the surgery. and so special that it is not advertised widely and recorded becos it its something which is very important and sacred to the religion. Another reason which i think is practical is that the sangat may distract people. and also probably make alota noise cos most of us dont realise the guru is still hear, back in the day, i reckon each person out of the 0000s was silent out of fear or respect........where as in this day and age we are more interested in reading texts or chatting to mates. ........... just what i think i learnt. Also something which is kept hidden from us and made scarce is often seen as important., whether or not The guru gave amrit in the sangat........... hope that helped sum it up............. altho im not worthy of giving an explanation nor do i know anything

Sorry guys, didn't mean to sound rude, although reading it back it did sound a little angry.

no worries bro... maybe I got a lil agitated after ur response.. so my apologies..

thanks for all ur input ppl...

I know wat ya'll saying in here... I could just never get around that why it is kept like it is a secret, don't know much about the process coz I always heard things n never got a chance to exp myself... but I guess I wasn't looking from the angle of the one recieving Amrit...

you ppl are rt at sayign that its something extremely important and sacred, and no point making it a display... and also Pesh does make a lot more sense as well... always thought pesh is done seperate...

so once agian thank ya'll :TH:

Its not a secret...its so the people who are taking amrit don't get distracted. That's why the windows (if there are any) are covered as well, so that the person taking amrit is focused on the bhata and not a random gora walking down the street or his mom taking a gazillion pictures in the background.

When its just you, your amrit-taking sangat, Guru Maharaj, and Guru Khalsa, then your attention is not as divided.
