What does AMRIT mean in Scrabble?
noun
In Sikhism, the sweetened holy water used in the ceremony of initiation into the Khalsa.
Amrit is prepared by stirring sugar crystals into water with a double-edged sword while hymns are recited, and it is then sipped by those undergoing the Sikh initiation ceremony known as Amrit Sanskar. Sikhs regard amrit as a symbol of spiritual rebirth, since accepting it marks a formal commitment to the faith's code of conduct and to membership in the Khalsa community. The word comes from Sanskrit and literally means nectar of immortality, a sense it shares with related concepts in other Indian traditions. Outside the ceremony, Sikh writing also uses amrit more broadly for anything considered spiritually nourishing or divine.
