You guys are setting up an Excellent foundation!

Dhan Guru Gobind Singh Ji the King of Kings, Dhan Guru Khalsa Ji, Dhan Guru Granth Sahib Ji, the Perfect Guru

[@aashishmanoharvlogs]

Paji your words are so powerful that any one can take Amrit. Thanks for vedio

[@AmanSingh-ix5hr]

@0:42 can someone guide me to that quote? I feel bhai Jargraj might have mistakenly (he probably meant to say something else but with English-speaking audience it came out like that) said guru nanak go baptized by god, this type of mistake can encourage Christians or muslims to poke at this statement. (We have to be carefull at how we present bani because predatory religious leaders are listening to convert people)

Vaheguru Simran in the Intro and Outro is how Sikhs chant Gods name. Its performed by Jagdeep Kaur of www.qi-rattan.com. You can download it for free from www.thekdp.com (Jam 2, track 6 = Waheguru Simran).

If your not thinking of taking amrit, your not taking Sikhi seriously.

[@kaurageouswarrior1496]

@@founderofself that's different, they don't know but those who know well about Sikhi and choose not to take Amrit are clearly not taking Sikhi seriously. It doesn't mean you're a bad person or will go to hell just that our Sikhi isn't a game, nor our Guru a toy which you can pick up play with when you like it which most non-amritdhari people do, worried about what other people will think. Plus, not every person can become an Amritdhari, Sikhi isn't that easy. It's everyone's choice though but Maharaj himself blesses a few who do take Amrit and sincerely follow Sikhi. It's truly a blessing.

[@kaurageouswarrior1496]

@@founderofself Guru Granth Sahib Ji mentions of Amrit many time, the ceremony or initiation itself isn't mentioned as it has changed but I can find plenty of proof to say that Guru Ji has always said to take Amrit, whether it was made crystal clear or not in words isn't the problem even, it's the importance and the understanding "you" (anyone) gains from the Bani. For me, I am someone willing to dedicate everything to Sikhi and on my new journey so far, I'm trying my best to do so. From my personal experiences, Sikhi is great and taking Amrit to earn the title of being a Sikh, meaning to give my head willingly to the Guru is to show how dedicated I am and to walk on their path alone.

Such is the karma of those upon whom He has cast His Glance of Grace. O Nanak, the Merciful Lord, by His Grace, uplifts and exalts them. ---Jap Ji Sahib right before Salok. Read the entire Bani and you will see it mention the importance of Amrit many times and why we want to obtain it.

[@theChannel40]

wow! Never knew that people would get tested before taking amrit

[@pretea16]

Is there a rule that both husband and wife have to take Amrit? One of them cannot take Amrit if the spouse is not amritdhari?

[@kaurageouswarrior1496]

In order to get an Anand Karaj, it's best to be an Amritdhari simply for the fact that you are not just one with your partner (Wife or husband) but also getting married with the Guru to say that I will love you alone and according to your teachings, take care of my partner and love them as well. But who listens nowadays, people just get Anand Karaj as if it's some kind of joke!

What’s pehredar do?

[@user-yv8su2rq1p]

can you reach salvation if you're not amritdhari

[@LuckySandhu36]

+ethereal beauty Have you heard of a game Russian roulette. the practice of loading a bullet into one chamber of a revolver, spinning the cylinder, and then pulling the trigger while pointing the gun at one's own head. If you recite upon Waheguru and practice Sikhism without taking Amrit, in my eyes it will be like playing Russian Roulette. Why take a chance when you can follow and path and have that surity

[@user-yv8su2rq1p]

LuckySandhu36 true

[@LuckySandhu36]

Waheguru ji.

[@LuckySandhu36]

Forget to mention that I learn't that analogy from Jugraj Paji.

[@founderofself]

@@LuckySandhu36 and what about all those who have taken amrit and are not practising it? Who are still unhappy and searchinh for god?

[@Nicholas.Tsagkos]

Ιs sikhisn the ONLY way to go to heaven or sach kand?

[@singhsingh6470]

+nikos t - Hello, Sikhi is one of the way to become one with Akal Purakh. If you understand Sikhi then you would know Sikhi is about forgiveness, selfless service, living with dignity, helping the poor/ down trodden, righteousness, reciting gurus baani, helping others to learn gurus baani, taking amrit and become like guru. In Sikhi, guru is not separate from Sikh. Guru is part of Sikh and Sikh is part of Guru. That is the reason, in Sikhi we have to become one with Guru. When you become one with Guru you will achieve everything including Heaven/Sach Khand

[@Nicholas.Tsagkos]

doesn't someone need a living guru to do this?

[@LuckySandhu36]

+nikos t Guru Granth Sahib ji is our living Guru. Sikhs dont treat this as a book but living Guru

[@Nicholas.Tsagkos]

LuckySandhu36 ι know, but it's not a human, it's a book with stories of humans. right?

[@LuckySandhu36]

Nikos it's not stories of human. It's bani which is divine

[@LifeThug196]

You need amrit to go to sachkhand. Enough said

[@parampalsingh8473]

guru nanak never dip his feet in water and say drink it ! pls think and search before speaking

[@founderofself]

This is what i mean. Sikhs are confused...and so lost and i want to find god but sikhs r pushing me away. I feel so sick and want to cry. I turn to ggsj n it speaks to me then we get this.

[@jagratsoni]

@@founderofself Might need more research. Go to Sikhiwiki website. Pls don't listen to Sikhs. Listen to the Guru. Shabad Guru. Pls be patient, m putting one question. Have you ever questioned your mother to give any specific proof of your father? Certainly no. Why? Cause you love your mother. You respect her, listen to her, care for her. In the same way, we all should build a relationship with Guru as well. Read the Itihaas. Read Gurbani. Do nitnem. Gradually we would start believing in our Guru, after we experience the bliss of his teachings. May Waheguru bless you with Khande di Pahul. Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji ki Fateh 🙏

[@jagratsoni]

@@founderofself That "Mother" question was being asked by Sant Singh Ji Maskeen. You have already watched some of his videos I see. So if doubt still remains. M here, cause I care. Waheguru Ji ka Khalsa Waheguru Ji ki Fateh 🙏

[@Nicholas.Tsagkos]

so in simple english you can't go to heaven if you don't covert into a sikh?

[@basicsofsikhi]

nikos t No one said that. There are levels of Heaven and the main requirement is that we must chant gods name and have a Guru

[@Nicholas.Tsagkos]

Basics of Sikhi what is god's names? like wahe guru?

[@LuckySandhu36]

+nikos t Waheguru is a Mantra. God is one and this is what Sikhs believe in. If you are a Christian you follow Christian protocol and be a good Christian. In the same way Sikhs have set protocol which must be followed. I hope this helps

[@Nicholas.Tsagkos]

LuckySandhu36 i don't like protocols and boxes... my soul is free... God doesn't have ONE religion... except LOVE!!!

[@LuckySandhu36]

So are you saying love is a religion
