What are the ceremonies for Sikhs?
the amrit ceremony2nd AnswerThe Amrit CeremonySikhs who have been through the Amrit Ceremony of initiation, or Amrit Sanskar, become baptised Sikhs, take new names, and wear the 5 Ks. The Amrit Ceremony is the initiation rite introduced by Guru Gobind Singh when he founded the Khalsa in 1699. A Sikh can go through this initiation as soon as they are old enough to understand the full committment that they are making.The ceremony takes place in a Gurdwara, before the Guru Granth Sahib, and in the presence of 5 initiated Sikhs (who represent the Panj Piyaras, the first 5 Sikhs to be initiated). During the ceremony, hymns are recited from the Sikh scripture, prayers are said, and the principles of Sikhism are affirmed. Then amrit is prepared. Amrit is a mixture of sugar and water that has been stirred with a double-edged sword.The candidates for initiation drink some of the amrit from the same bowl, and have it sprinkled on their eyes and hair. Each then recites the Mool Mantra (the fundamentals of Sikhism). There are readings from the Guru Granth Sahib and an explanation of rules of Sikhism. The ceremony ends with the eating of the ceremonial karah parshad. Parshad is a sweet tasting food which has been blessed. It is made from semolina, sugar and ghee.

Why do Sikhs write Singh after their name?
Why Sikh men use the name SinghIt's not just in writing; Singh, which means lion, is the middle or last name used by all Sikh Men. Sikh women have the middle or last name Kaur which means princess. These names were given to Sikhs by the 10th Guru (enlightened Master), Guru Gobind Singh ji, who himself adopted the name Singh, when receiving Amrit. The ceremony known as Amrit Sanchar, was instituted by Guru Gobind Singh and then administered to Guru Gobind Singh. This is a ceremony where a person receives Amrit (immortal nectar) from 5 beloved Sikhs who are equivalent to the light of Guru Gobind Singh. Upon receiving Amrit, the person agrees to a lifelong code of conduct. A life of complete service, charity and meditation is expected of all Sikhs.Sikhs regard all people equally, and do not use names which divide people based on caste, creed, color, religion, or any other dividing lines that can be made.
