Waheguru Ji Ki Khalsa, Waheguru Ji Ki Fateh

Im 13 years old and I’m planning to take Amrit. I’m trying to gain as music information about Sikhi as possible. I heard that Amritdhari Sikhs can only eat food made by other Amritdhari Sikhs. Is this true? If it is then this follows the Brahmin way of eating food. Guru Nanak Dec Ji taught us that everyone is equal. Also do Amritdhari Sikhs have to eat from a steel or iron plate?

I have read the Rehat Maryada a few times and it does not say that Amritdhari Sikhs can only eat food made by other Amritdhari Sikhs, it only says that Amritdhari Sikhs can not eat the leftovers of a Non-Amritdhari Sikh.

That's not the way Brahmins treated food. 

You'd spoil their food just looking at it. According to them.

The Guru Sahiban fed everyone. 

Having trusted, spiritual, clean people cook each other food  provides nothing but benefits and protections and that safe food is given to everyone. Totally different. 

Also remember during the entirety of the birth of Sikhi it was under attack. Sikhs were at war. You don't eat the enemy's food bro. You cook your food and share it with them. 

So you're like okay, we aren't at war now so...

Wrong. We are. One, toxic food is killing everyone, and if you don't eat that stuff you're protected. And it's a cruel joke of Famine.   

Two. Sikhs that rise to any prominence are still at risk for poisining and if you think Shaheeds haven't been poisoned, you're wrong.

My parent's (and Grand-Parents before them) are devout Amritdhari Sikhs, they live by this rule, they don't eat leftover's from anybody but only share with other Amritdhari's, me and my siblings aren't Amritdhari but because we were bought up like this we live by the same rules.

I've come across a few families who won't eat foot that isn't prepared by non-Amritdhari's, we have one in our extended family and their father wouldn't eat anything at his daughter's house after she got married because the son-in-laws family weren't amritdhari, my father's a pretty devout Sikh and even he found that a bit extreme, each to their own i suppose.

The idealistic answer is yes. Let's see why?

Food prepared in restaurants, NOBODY knows who cooked it and the "Finer" ingredients popped in the meal. We all been in restaurants, put food in stomach and claimed "Hm, I wonder how this was made?" Also, during the food making process, a pi55ed off chef is preparing your meal. Now, will they think "I must do prayers as am preparing food to pop in that positive energy" or are they thinking of krodh, hatred and terrible things, as they're pi55ed off?? YOU HAVE ZERO CONTROL WHAT THEY THINK! If YOU think negative thoughts do not affect the food, then positive thoughts also will NOT affect the food. So no need to do prayers during making rotias. But it is REHATNAMA to do prayers during cooking, as it adds positive vibes to the food, which one will consume. 

Not to forget, are the chef's hands soochi or jooti? Had they tasted YOUR meal to check salt n spices then used the SAME spoon in the saucepan??? JOOTA!!!

That’s not what I meant, what I meant was that the Brahmins would only eat food made by other Brahmins and not from anyone of a lower caste. Guru Nanak Dev Ji taught us that everyone is equal, and when they were offered a dinner at Brahmins house they declined and went to the poorest person and ate food there.

The only problem I have with praying while making food is that I’m 13 years old and I don’t know how to make food and my parents who make the food aren’t Amritdhari and they do not pray while making so I don’t know any solution to this.

    • 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.
