Amrit Sanchar

Amrit Sanchar is a significant initiation ceremony in Sikhism, marking the baptism of individuals into the Khalsa, the community of committed Sikhs. During this ceremony, participants drink sweetened water called "Amrit," which has been prepared with recitations from the Guru Granth Sahib and stirred with a double-edged sword, symbolizing spiritual strength. The ceremony involves vows to uphold Sikh values, including commitment to justice, equality, and service. It underscores the importance of community, discipline, and a spiritual bond with God, empowering individuals to live with purpose and responsibility within the Sikh faith.
