The four bajjar kurahits are the sharp edge of the amrit vow and they are narrower than outsiders expect. Cutting or removing hair from anywhere on the body; eating kutha, meaning meat from an animal killed by slow ritual bleeding; sexual relations outside marriage; and using tobacco or any intoxicant. Breaking one does not make a person a bad Sikh in some general sense — it voids the initiation, and restoration requires appearing before five Sikhs, admitting it, accepting a tankhah of service, and taking amrit again. The kutha rule is frequently misreported as a ban on meat and is not; it is a refusal of another religion's ritual slaughter, and Sikh orders differ sharply about what follows from that. The tobacco prohibition is absolute and includes vaping in modern rulings, while the intoxicant clause is where Nihang cannabis use collides with the mainstream. Amritdhari Sikhs are a minority of Sikhs, so most of the community lives with these as ideals rather than as vows.
