Guru Gobind Singh Ji then mixed water and sugar into an iron bowl, stirring it with a double-edged sword to prepare what he called Amrit ("nectar"). He then administered this to the "Panj Pyare", accompanied with recitations from the Adi Granth, thus founding the "khanda ka paul" (baptism ceremony) of a Khalsa – a warrior community. The Guru also gave them a new surname "Singh" (lion). After the first five Khalsa had been baptized, the Guru asked the five to baptize him as a Khalsa. This made the Guru the sixth Khalsa, and his name changed from Guru Gobind Rai Ji to Guru Gobind Singh Ji.
