Amritdhari


 AMRITDHAARI

Amrit has been used as synonym of Gurbaani.

(see: Amrit).

Some people use the term Amritdhaari For an initiated Sikh.

But, this is not correct term. One who has taken Khanday-di-Pahul is a Pahuliya Sikh.

To call a Pahuliya Sikh (an initiated Sikh) as “baptized” Sikh, is also wrong, because „baptism‟ is a specific Christian ceremony, which means ‘initiating into Christianity.‟
