Taking Amrit & Commitment

We received a number of questions from users on the topic of taking Amrit (Sikh "Baptism"). With this being a central part of the Sikh lifestyle it is no surprise that there are so many different kinds of questions related to this topic. In the below video Guruka Singh answers some of the below questions related to Amrit Sanchar as well as discussing commitment & discipline in relation to this subject. Everyone who has received the Guru's Amrit probably has had a different experience, different motivation and different calling that inspired them to take this step of commitment to the Guru. Many years ago I wrote about my experience & I'm sure others can tell their experiences as well which give a larger picture about the blessing of receiving the Guru's Amrit.

Problem for me is my parents won't let me take that commitment as is for many people, what can you do then?

I love how it all comes down to yourself, no matter what. It's your religion, your decision, your life. That is the message I keep getting from these videos. I really like that.

I've been watching several videos on SikhNet & I've found them to be very enlightening. Even though I'm a 7th Day Adventist I do Kundalini Yoga & Meditation. & my feeling is who are we to judge other people because of what they believe? Thanks again for the enlightening videos!

@BlainePistolle alcohol leads man to do bad things; it causes anger, agression, and most importantly, we loose who we are by becoming drunk. in addition, sikhs are also not allowed to smoke. by smoking a cigarette or taking any other form of tobacco, our Guru told us that it was a one way ticket to Hell.

@caligal2010 what are these reasons?

Wow, this is amazing. Thank you both for uploading this. My life has been crazy I finally have the answers that I seek. I feel like Guru Nanak Dev Ji led me here. I'll try my best to be His Sikh, and I hope that one day I'll have the Blessing of the Amrit.
