Amrit

Amrit is an important term in Sikhism and similar to the term Amrita that is Sanskrit and listed in the MSN Encarta Online - As there is no direct English translation of the word apart from 'holy water' or ‘nectar’ I believe that it should stand on its own. ‘Amrit’ is a word like ‘Karma’, which has been adopted by the English language. I believe that 'Amrit' has the importance to be left as an independent term as it conveys a special meaning in Easter cultures that will eventually be implemented by the West. Google search of 'Amrit' produces 85,500 hits! Hari Singh

What about Amrita? I'm not an expert on either topic but the content of the articles seems much the same to me. Would it be beneficial to merge the two? Also, the topic seems to be in need of cleanup at the moment as there are some spelling and gramatical errors and it repeats itself at the bottom. I don't see a citation at for that quote either, it's as if someone copied and pasted it from somewhere? KrisWood 06:38, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

Categorization

Copied from User:Melchoir's talk page: You categorised Amrit to [[Category:Liquid water]]. Amrit holds religious importance and significance and is not directly related to articles linking to science and other recent topics. I have removed the category from the page, as of now. Regards. --Andy123(talk) 10:53, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I don't understand why this article shouldn't be included Category:Liquid water.

First of all, there is no conflict with Category:Sikh practices, which categorizes the cultural significance of Amrit; Category:Liquid water categorizes what it literally is. If you were compiling a list of Sikh practices, it wouldn't be complete without Amrit; similarly, if you were compiling a list of kinds of liquid water, it wouldn't be complete without Amrit. For a parallel example, Kirpan is categorized not only under Category:Sikhism but also Category:Swords.

Let me also note that Category:Liquid water is not reserved for recent or scientific topics, nor should it be. Chalybeate, for example, is of primarily historical and pseudo-medical interest; Brine is important mainly to cooking and industry; Penta Water is a brand-name product; and Polywater doesn't even exist. Along with Amrit, I also included the Christian Holy water in the category (and no one has argued to remove it). I'm sure we don't want the category to now display an anti-Sikh bias, or even an anti-religious bias at all! Melchoir 20:02, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

I am convinced. Though, you might wait for some other users to express their approval here. Regards --Andy123(talk) 20:26, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Sure! Melchoir 20:29, 11 April 2006 (UTC)

Eh, I think that's been long enough. Melchoir 02:53, 23 April 2006 (UTC)

Why only Sikhism?

The word Amrit means the same in Hinduism as well. There are ample references to it in Hindu mythology. Not sure why the article excludes that? -- Lost 11:03, 26 June 2006 (UTC)

Please feel free to add any such further information. I do remember there being a one-liner about Hinduism, but it's since been removed. Probably some anon. Sukh | ਸੁਖ | Talk 00:35, 27 June 2006 (UTC)

spelling

Just an FYI when this is unlocked or edited, that "millenium" is a mis-spelling.--RichardMills65 (talk) 10:00, 22 January 2012 (UTC)

Thanks. Fixed! Yazan (talk) 10:20, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
