Amrit means sacred water, and by taking this you are meant to wear the panj kakkar(5K's) as a uniform. Each K has it's own meaning of special significance. once you have taken Amrit, you are initiated into the Khalsa(Pure) and from that time onwards you are to live a commit your life to Waheguru(God) and be as pure in every aspect of your life as possible.
