I aint got Naam Dhird, do i need to take Amrit again?

Every Gurmat Amrit Sanchaar is the same; Guru Ji blesses the Sikhs in the same way.

Very Brief description of Gurmat Amrit sanchaar

In Presence of Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
5 Singhs as the Punj
Kakkars must be worn and devotee must be willing to keep hair uncut.
The Khanda (double edged sword is used)
The Punj banis are recited while stirring the water in the iron bowl with the khanda. (sugar crystals are added too)
The amirt is drunk and put in eyes and head 5 times each (Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji Ki fateh is repeated each time).
The Gurmantar, Mool mantar and Gurmat rehat is told.

So why do some AKJ’s say that "Our Jatha Sanchaar gives you Naam Dhird and no other Jatha Sanchaar does this" (Due to this reason they call other Amrit Sanchaars incomplete and advise people to retake Amrit from their Jatha). Every Punj piare tell you to read Gurbani and to wake up at Amrit vela and jaap naam by doing the Gurmantar and mool mantar (Amrit is the start of the journey it is not the end). The more you do this the more purer you become and with Guru Ji’s kirpa you get to God. What the AKJ’s call Naam dhird is a technique of repeating Waheguru with each breath.

For example when you breathe in you say WAHE and when you breathe out you say GURU.
It’s a technique of sawas sawas simran (repeating waheguru with every breath). You don’t need to be AKJ to do that. Non amritdharis even use this technique it is well known. AKJ Amrit sanchaars is just the same as any other Gurmat Sanchaar. I don’t know why people feel they need to take Amrit again because they didn’t get Naam dhird. I just explained naam dhird in this article (No need to go and see the Punj to get this technique).

If your not AKJ stay away!

Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji is a universal Guru and savoir of humanity. It is every Sikhs duty to share and spread Guru Ji’s teaching to everyone. We should have kindness and compassion for our fellow beings. Sri Guru Gobind Singh JI said “Recognize the Human race as one" The Guru made his darbar and langar open to all regardless of colour, caste, social status, creed and gender. Guru Ji went and healed the masses in Dehli from small pox, fought wars to protect humanity and even sacrificed his life for others. That is Gursikhi!

Some AKJ have private Simran sessions away from other Gursikhs and non-amritdharis. Fair enough if you want to do that, do it in your own house but don’t bring that mentality to a Gurdwara. That is just being egotistical and selfish.

O Nanak, meditate on the Naam, the Name of the Lord, the Support of all beings.
In the Sanctuary of the Guru, peace is found, meditating on the Naam night and day.
The Gurmukhs shed their ego; attuned to the Naam, they find peace. -Ang 29- Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

The Gurmukhs meditate on the Naam; they eradicate selfishness and conceit from within – Ang 28- Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Those who do their deeds in ego are like the prostitute's son, who has no name.-Ang82- Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji


When the Dear Lord Himself grants His Grace, they are inspired to love the Naam.-Ang 34 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Who the hell are we to stop someone from japping Naam in the sangat!

So join the Saadh Sangat, the Company of the Holy, and be imbued with the Naam, the Name of the Lord; there, your hopes shall be fulfilled.-Ang 545- Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji
Guru Ji is telling all to join the sangat, where does it say no monas or non akj are not allowed. I mean japping naam is the best deed someone can do, no one has any right to turn people away from sangat.

You are the Universal Father of all, O my Lord and Master.-Ang 97-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

See the Lord, the Universal Soul, in all.-Ang 892-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Meditate in remembrance on the One Universal Creator; the True Lord created the entire Universe.-Ang 1113-Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

O mind, contemplate the Sanctuary of God Meditating on Him in remembrance, Ganika the prostitute was saved; enshrine His Praises within your heart.- Ang- 632 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Story of Ganika from Bhai Gurdas Ji Vaars Pannaa 10-

Gankaa was a sinful prostitute who wore the necklace of misdeeds around her neck.

Once a great man was passing by who halted in her courtyard. Seeing her bad plight he became compassionate and offered her a special parrot. He told her to teach the parrot to repeat the name of Ram (The Immortal Lord).

Having made her understand this fruitful trade he then went away. Each and every day, with full concentration, she would teach the parrot to say Ram.

The name of Lord is the liberator of the fallen ones. It washed away her evil wisdom and deeds.

At the time of death, it cut away the noose of Yama - the messenger of death.

She did not have to drown in the ocean of hell. Due to the elixir of the name of the Lord; she became totally devoid of sins and was lifted to the heavens. The name (of the Lord) is the refuge of the shelterless ones.-

The virtues of the Sangat, the Holy Congregation, are so very great. Even the prostitute was saved, by teaching the parrot to speak the Lord's Name.-Ang 981 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Do i have to say anymore, but knowing the attitude of some AKJ, they still going to think they are right.

Help a brother when he down; dont kick him. Most of you AkJ's were monas too. How do you think a Monas going to get into Sikhi if you are going to tell him piss off you can't come simran. Things take time, a baby crawls, and then walks!

Research into the dangers of eating Meat!

There is no nutritional need for humans to eat any animal products; all of our dietary needs, even as infants and children, are best supplied by an animal-free diet. The Human is designed for eating and digesting plant foods, so it is no wonder that our major health problems can be traced to meat consumption.

Gorillas are a very big and strong animal. They mainly eat plants and bananas, so all these excuses Singhs use “I need to get big and fight against tyranny that’s why I eat meat” is bull. Most of the time bare mans train to get muscles to impress girls anyway. They use the warrior card just to justify the free training in the Gurdwara gym.

The consumption of animal products has been conclusively linked with heart disease, cancer, diabetes, arthritis, and osteoporosis. (Even a lot of vegetarians get these diseases but they are more common amongst meat eaters). Animal fat clogs arteries, leading to heart attacks and strokes. A vegetarian diet can prevent 97 percent of coronary occlusions. The rate of colon cancer is highest in regions where meat consumption is high, and lowest where meat-eating is uncommon. A similar pattern is evident for breast, cervical, uterine, ovarian, prostate, and lung cancers.

Low-fat diets, particularly those without saturated fat (High amount present in meat), have been instrumental in allowing many diabetics to dispense with their pills, shots, and pumps. A study of more than 25,000 people over age 21 found that vegetarians have a much lower risk of getting diabetes than meat-eaters.

A 1983 Michigan State University study found that by age 65, male vegetarians had an average measurable bone loss of 3 percent; male meat-eaters, 18 percent; female vegetarians, 7 percent; female meat-eaters, 35 percent

Consumers of animal products take in far greater amounts of residual agricultural chemicals, industrial pollutants, antibiotics, and hormones than do vegetarians. The absorption of antibiotics through meat-eating results in antibiotic-resistant strains of pneumonia, childhood meningitis, gonorrhea, salmonella, and other serious illnesses.

Fish is another source of dangerous residues because of the level of cancer-causing polychlorinated biphenyl’s (PCBs) found in the waters in which they live.

Throughout the world, forests are being destroyed to support the meat-eating habits of the "developed" nations. Between 1960 and 1985, nearly 40 percent of all Central American rain forests were destroyed to create pasture for beef cattle. The rain forests are the primary source of oxygen for the entire planet, the forests also provide ingredients for many medicines used to treat and cure human illnesses, and these resources have yet to be explored for their full potential.

The production of one pound of beef requires 2,500 gallons of water. It takes less water to produce a year's worth of food for a pure vegetarian than to produce a month's worth of food for a meat-eater.

Raising animals for food is an extremely inefficient way to feed a growing human population. The U.S. livestock population consumes enough grain and soybeans to feed more than five times the entire U.S. population. One acre of pasture produces an average of 165 pounds of beef; the same acre can produce 20,000 pounds of potatoes.

If Americans reduced their meat consumption by only 10 percent, it would free 12 million tons of grain annually for human consumption. That alone would be enough to adequately feed each of the 60 million people who starve to death each year.

"Dutch Courage" in Sikhi?

The phrase Dutch courage is a slang term for "courage" gained from intoxication by alcohol.

"Hold up lads; let me just get a quick pint before we go and knock out that lad who tried to rape my sister"

Views of the People that think this is also a Sikh practice:

Before some Singhs used to go to Battle they used to steel their nerves with liquor.

It is a historic fact; in war times Guru Gobind Singh jee allowed the weaker Khalsa to have "Dutch Courage".

Views of People that disagree:

The Guru gave us Khande da Amrit, which gave Shaheed Bhai Sant Singh Ji the courage to come out of Chamkaur sahib fort and face an Army of 125,000 plus. When Guru Ji was preparing Amrit a sparrow took a few drops; the sparrow got so much courage that it fought off a hawk that came to hunt it.

Was it alcohol that made Shaheed Baba Deep Singh Ji fight with his head in one palm? No it wasn’t it was the shakti (power) from Gurbani and naam simran. When you do a lot of Gurbani you get a lot of Biras (Warrior energy).

When Guru Ji used to send his Sahibzadas (when they were only 12/15 years of age) to go and rescue Hindu women from the Mughals, did he give them a few shots too! All this Dutch courage nonsense is a complete waffle and distortion of sikhi. Its a football Hooligan practice; not a Khalsa soldiers practice.

Gurmat View:

Those who are deluded by sensual pleasure, who are tempted by sexual delights and enjoy wine, are corrupt, -Ang 335 -Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Drinking the wine, his intelligence departs, and madness enters his mind.-Ang 554- Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

Even if wine is made from the water of the ganges, O saint do not drink it. –Ang 1293 Sri Guru Granth Sahib Ji

People are coming out with so much waffle these days it makes me cry man. I mean they come out with stupid things, but jokers follow them, it’s sickening.

How Many Budwisers did this cat have before doing this?

If you are walking on the street and somebody tries to mug you for your phone; are you going to say i have not got the guts to fight you now. let me go to the pub and then i will fight you for my phone. (laughter) Maharaj gave us Gurbani and Amrit of the double edged sword (Not a Pint of a man made Budwiser) for COURAGE!!!!!
