[QUOTE="spnadmin, post: 135120, member: 35"] Sikhism emerged in India in a time when people were confused and misguided. It started with Guru Nanak Dev Ji. Born in a hindu family, Nanak went on four odysseys that spanned the whole country and also touched the borders of Iraq, spreading his divine message of the existence of only one omnipresent God. Through the teachings of the nine Gurus (teachers) that followed Nanak, Sikhs became strong willed, courageous and were put on the right path. It was with Guru Gobind, the tenth guru, that the practice of Amrit started in Sikhism. The word Amrit in itself is made up of two words. Amar + it. "Amar" carries the meaning of immortality, while the suffix "it" is added to describe the symbolic drink which is named Amrit. Amrit is also a synonym for nectar, the drink of the Gods. After decades of spiritual enlightenment of the Sikh population, Guru Gobind decided it was time for the Sikhs to defend themselves and their people from the atrocious and he tyrannical Mogul emperors. He trained the Sikh population in warfare and on the day of Baisakhi in 1699, he crowned the term "Khalsa". He demanded the voluntary sacrifice of five human souls. (This was just a test, he took the five men behind a tent and chopped off a goat's head to make it look as if the blood on the sword was human blood.) After they volunteered, he offered them Amrit and took Amrit from them, calling them the Panj Pyare (The Five Beloved). By drinking Amrit from the hands of the Panj Pyare, he symbolised that he was the teacher and the student, and that every one of the sikhs was equal. Usually, when the drink Amrit, people also accept five other things in their lives: 1. Kanga (Comb) - This symbolises that a Sikh will always take perfect care of his hair because it is a gift from God and an important part of his identity. 2. Karha (Bracelet) - The Karha is to be always worn on a Sikh's wrist. It serves as a reminder for a Sikh to always follow the morals of his faith. 3. Kesh (Hair) - The hair are a gift from God and part of a Sikh's identity, therefore, they must remain uncut. 4. Kachera (A specific style of cotton underwear) - This simple garb reminds Sikhs of the Guru's message regarding the control of the Five Evils. 5. Kirpan (Small curved sword) - It symbolises the carrier's personal duty and responsibility as a Sikh to protect the innocent in the message of peace. In conclusion, when taking Amrit, Sikhs commit their lives to the protection of the innocent, their moral ideals, and also to always wish for the well being of all of humanity.
