Taking Amrit Whilst Still Growing Your Kesh And Dhari

Vaheguru Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguru Ji Ki Fateh!

I wanted to know if someone can take Amrit whilst they are still growing their kesh and dhari. I was told it was down to the discretion of the Panj Piyare carrying out the ceremony, however it is quite scary turning up on the day not knowing what they will say. There is an Amrit Sanchar taking place in a weeks time near me but I've only been growing my hair for about 2 months and it's only about an inch long at the moment. My dhari is about 1 cm long right now. I know the answer would be to wait till it grows but what if something happens to me before I can take Amrit. I'm not really prepared to wait millions of lifetimes to get my chance again.

So is there anyone here who was or is in a similar situation? What happened? Were you allowed to take part in the ceremony?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Deep

Have faith in Guru Sahib and you can easily wait until the time your beard has grown, no need to worry about death. If Amrit Sanchar is not readily held where you live then explain the situation, I think they will understand. Moreover, you might be waiting an age for it to grow.

The whole point of Amrit Sanchaar is to follow rehat, so if someone breaks these promises then on their head be it. This is why I believe it won't be an issue and they will accept you as is.

    • 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.
