What does AMRITA mean in Scrabble?
noun
In Hindu mythology, a divine drink or nectar said to grant immortality to those who drink it.
Amrita comes from Sanskrit and names the nectar that, according to Hindu myth, the gods churned from the cosmic ocean in order to gain immortality. The same word is also used by Sikhs for a sweetened, sanctified water linked to religious observance, though the ceremonial Sikh water is more often called amrit. In both traditions amrita carries the idea of a substance that purifies, strengthens or grants a form of eternal life, rather than referring to any ordinary drink.
