The Panj Pyaras Give Khalsa Initiates Amrit to Drink
The initiate sits on the right heel with the left knee bent upright, and left foot flat on the floor. The hands are cupped, right hand over the left.
One of the panj pyaras dips a hand into the bowl and pours Amrit into the cupped hands of the initiate saying, “Waheguru ji ka Khalsa Waheguru ji ki Fateh,” (Khalsa is of the wondrous, dark dispelling light, as is victory). The initiate drinks the nectar and answers in like manner. The process is repeated five times for each initiate.
