Re-Taking Amrit


Recommended Posts

I still maintain that we should stay as close to the Puratan Amrit Sanchar as we possibly can. Especially for Sikhs who have yet to take Amrit. It seems to me that those who take the full bania da Amrit Sanchar never have any doubts. So why would we possibly want to create any doubters? for example, you never hear anyone say that, "I wish they had read shorter bania at my Amrit Sanchar".

The panj bania read out on Visakhi when Guru Ji gave amrit to the Panj Piyare and then took amrit from the Panj Piyare must have be recorded, and followed by, the hundreds and thousands of Sikhs who took Amrit in that year alone, and the following year, and the following year, and so on. And then those Bania must have been past down generation to generation. Guru Gobind Singh Ji and the Panj Piyare must have given so many Amrit Sanchars between 1699 to 1708. And those Singh's who took that Amrit Sanchar must have given their own Amrit Sanchars as groups of 5 too.

I believe they actually have the Gotker Sahib's of Guru Gobind Singh Sahib Ji and Baba Deep Singh Ji even today and that they clearly show what the 5 Bania to be used for Amrit Sanchar. I am sure that the Nighangs also do the full Panj Bania (correct me if I am wrong)

Evolution is mentioned above. Could us evolving mean we actually move away from the 1930's British Raaj Era of the shortened 5 Bania, and evolve to the1699 full 5 Bania?

@ the thread starter

being very polite i want to tell you that you are just another example of people who rush into things without proper knowledge.

1. Were you not happy when you were sitting in the darbar where guru granth sahib ji was parkashed ?

2. Were you not happy when they were pouring amrit in your head and telling you to say vaheguru ?

3. Were you not happy the next day you woke up early for nitname ?

4. Were you not happy till you realized SSPC didnt read full bani ?

And all of the sudden that amrit changed into mitha panni.

This is not good what if in future ur impressed by nihangs and will you again take amrit because they do anti clock wise parikarma of guru sahib when given amrit and after few years some other jatha and cycle goes on.

If u knew some thing is missing from very first day go ahead and take amrit but if you start feeling it the day u realized it was SGPC amrit or what ever then there is problem

It was time when my grandmother took amrit ... it was prepared at jod mele or at 4 takths only no where else ... people had to go miles and wait for sometimes years to take amrit ... but now we are going no where and amrit is amrit ... Do full path rest of you life it will take you in sharan of Guru gobind singh then taking amrit again with full path but missing you nitname ... seriously SGPC amrit Taksali amrit Nihang amrit etc is a shame for panth what about people who are looking for Gurus amrit ?

Being polite as well....

Before I went to the Amrit Sanchar, I read the entire 'Amrit Sanchar' protocol in Gurbani Paath Darpan (written by Sant Baba Gurbachan Singh Ji Khalsa). Thus, I did not rush into the Amrit Sanchar without the proper knowledge.

My biggest mistake was not inquiring about the Rehat the Gurdwara followed. (This mistake is made and cannot be undone).

I was very happy at the thought of taking Amrit.

And sitting in Guru Ji's Hazuri (wherever, whenever) always makes me happy.

So...back to the Amrit Sanchar...I had the entire protocol of preparing Amrit (from Gurbani Paath Darpan) in my head - so as the Amrit Sanchar was proceeding, I realized that the full Chaupai Sahib was not read.

I do not consider the Amrit that I took mitha paani because if one reads Gurbani over water, it becomes Amrit.

But the Amrit that I took was not the Khande Baate da Amrit that Guru Ji intended us to take ('Guru's Amrit') because full 5 Banis were not read.

As for Nihangs and other folks, I do not have problems with them. I just want to take the full 5 Bani Amrit (and the plan is to do so in a few days...with Guru Ji's Kirpa).

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
