Sikhism: Section 3
  1. Amrit Ceremony
    1. Amrit sanskar is the sikh initiation ceremony where sikhs join the khalsa. Although a child born and brought up according to sikh traditions, joining the khalsa is important as it portrays a personal commitment to the sikh faith
      1. Significant as by taking amrit a convert can become a sikh.
        1. It re-enacts the first amrit ceremony performed by the first member of the khalsa. This is done by drinking amrit which is stirred with a khanda or kirpan which is the same today as it was at the time of Guru Gobind Singh
          1. Significant as during the ceremony, sikhs recite 'Waheguru ji khalsa, Waheguru ji fateh'. Meaning the Khalsa is of god, the victory is of god'. This means that they are giving their life to god and will live by gods ruels as they have joined the khalsa
          2. Khalsa
            1. "Only a true sikh if you've joined the khalsa"
              1. Agree
                1. Not considered a true sikh until you join the khalsa as it portrays personal commitment to sikh faith
                  1. Joining the khalsa can be seen as the beginning of sikhism and is crucial for becoming a true sikh. only a sikh once you join community and sacrafice your life
                    1. You're only a true sikh once you join khalsa - show commitment and dedication by giving up daily habits which many sikhs are not prepared to do
                2. Disagree
                  1. If you devote yourself and time to god regularly it will help you to become gurmukh - release from samsara. Shows you're committed to the religion and are a true sikh
                    1. Promoting values and beliefs of sikhism - equality and generousity (Vand Chhakna) can make you become a true sikh. If you promote values which apply to all, despite religion, shows you are a true sikh as could be seen doing sewa - good soul
                      1. seen as a true sikh by carrying out worship, giving to charity and living by obligations of Man/Dhan/Tan. Selfless act which are valued in sikhism and respected for completing these acts - gurmukh
