I read in the Kundalini yoga book about Amritpan. Guru Granth Sahib, the sacred scripture and the present Guru of Sikhs also has hymns mentioning the drinking of this nectar. This should not be confused with the baptism ceremony in which initiating Sikhs are physically given Amrit to drink. Amritpan mentioned in the hymns refer to the state of meditation in which raindrop like nectar (swantiboond) drops from the palate.
I had a deep desire to see a living person drink this amrit and my desire was fulfilled on the 21st Dec, 2009. I was in Patiala, Punjab, India attending an Akhand Kirtani (See AKJ sect of Sikhs) program at my cousins house. The man sitting over the Guru Granth Sahib had his eyes closed and was tasting something in his mouth. Then his whole body shook for a minute or so and then he laughed so loud uncontrollably. I watched him while everyone else was busy singing and meditating. Amazingly, no one noticed what he was doing. I would have also missed it, if I didn't unintentionally open my eyes, just a few minutes before the program finished. He was doing in meditation what gurbani explains as
Rang Hasse Rang Rove, Chup Bhi Kar Jai
Parvah Nahin Kise Keri, Bajh Sache Naye.
He Laughs one minute, then cries the other and then becomes silent as well.
He is not concerned about anyone watching him. His only concern is the True God's name.
I later met him and asked for advice on how I could achieve good results as himself. He suggested to never talk about my meditation experiences with those who don't practise much. Doing so will hinder my progress. He explained that it is like a married couples relationship. The couple is not to disclose the intimate moments to others. Same way what happens in a meditation session is your relationship with God, not to be disclosed to others. He suggested that I keep practicing. He Said, "Just like in the rain there is only one special drop that the bird Babiha can consume but it must rain first for that special drop to arrive. Keep meditating and during the session, keep talking to your Guru (not physical) and keep telling him whatever feelings you are having at the time. As far as blessing, he said that only True Guru has the power of blessing not someone so low as myself. So keep praying to the Guru, pointing towards the Guru Granth Sahib, to help you.
I am so thrilled to meet this guy. At least I know that its not only bookish knowledge and that it is possible to do amritpan. In my earlier post, I had metioned how I approached a so called saint that visited Australia and asked him about amritpan and he didn't know a thing about it. I was deeply disappointed that he couldn't offer any advise that I started doubting if any Sikhs these days know anything about deep meditation. I know now that there are plenty of them who are having great results.

what u r saying is all bullshit.
The fact is the secretion is absolutely tasteless and extremely cooling
People like you demolish the faith of public on religion... By telling such fake stories , even if u have seen something magical then what is need to tell it on internet.. You must better visit some psychologist.....
I have allowed both negative comments to be published for they both require valuation of where the commentator stand.
I thank the person for the first comment as I have never had such an experience myself to know what this Amrit tastes like, so I removed the words that it tastes sweet.
To the second commentator, all I have to say is read the blog again and know that it's not my personal experience of tasting Amrit but witnessing someone having it. Secondly, it's not a magical experience just like orgasm, it's physical and real. Thirdly, I am an amritdhari gursikh who believes in khande-bate da Amrit, and especially appreciate the akhand kirtani jatha strictness in terms of nitnem and amritvela simran. Most importantly, the purpose of the blog is for Sikhs to know that Amrit chakna, the initiation ceremony, is only first step towards spirituality. The real Amrit is tasted by very few as we are busy in ritualistic nitnem without real yearning to know the God / our Godhead / the higher self. The link posted below is useful in understanding the secretion of Amrit, but know that The intention of posting the link is not to promote the drug use method or tantric sex method or Sai baba as guru. http://biologyofkundalini.com/article.php?story=TheCrystalPalace
I just realised that the second comment actual lay relates to my latest post http://spiritualityexperiences.blogspot.com.au/2015/03/are-you-devoted-to-your-religion.html
