"It is about committing to a life of discipline and sacrifice for my faith. This includes following the Five Ks, praying regularly and living a life that is honest, compassionate and selfless."
For some, becoming Amritdhari is a way to strengthen their identity as Sikhs and feel a closer connection to the Sikh community. It is a sign of belonging and commitment to the group.
Today, being part of the Khalsa signifies a commitment to Sikh beliefs and practices. Many Sikhs take pride in being members of the Khalsa, continuing the traditions established by Guru Gobind Singh.
"For me, becoming Amritdhari was an important step in my spiritual journey. It's a way to grow closer to God and to live a life that's focused on Sikh values."
Many Amritdhari consider they are called to be focused on and guided by God. They may believe God prepares them to stand up against injustice by defending themselves and the rights of others. This is sometimes referred to as being a Saint-Soldier.
