MEETING WITH THE CANDIDATES Sometime before the ceremony, all the candidates, including those who wish to re-take their vows, meet with a representative of the Panj. At this time, they will discuss the principles of Khalsa, the ceremony and any questions they may have. They will receive the following instructions, to allow each individual the greatest opportunity to experience a total transformation:
THE MORNING OF THE AMRIT CEREMONY The Panj Piaray and the Granthi meet before the candidates arrive, to check that everything is properly set up, and that all supplies are ready. The sevadars should also be present to assist them. When the candidates start arriving, they can sit in another room and chant Wahe Guru until they are called in. One Piara checks that all candidates have all 5 K’s, have washed their hair, removed extra jewelery, and understand the commitment they are about to confirm. Each of the Panj Piaray washes a Siri Sahib and places it in front of the Siri Guru Granth Sahib.
