Guru Amar Das also carried on the work of the previous two Guru's and made sure that people let go of caste restrictions and prejudices as well as the curse of untouchability. 

 

He continued to make more people aware of Guru Nanak's idea of free kitchens and serving others equally and treating everyone the same as everyone is equal in God's eyes. 

 

Guru Amar Das introduced the Anand Karaj marriage ceremony for Sikhs to replace the Hindu way. 

 

He destroyed the idea of Sati which was the Hindu custom where a married woman would throw herself upon the funeral pyre of her husband to kill herself along with him. The idea of women covering their face with a veil was also told to be abandoned by him to his Sikhs.

 

Guru Amar Das said that "Our body is the embodiment of God's light. It is through the human body that one can explore one's limitless spiritual possibilities. Demi-Gods emvy the human frame. One should not, therefore, play with it recklessly. One must submit to the will of God, when one's time is over, but not crave death nor invite it without a sufficient and noble cause. It is self surrender for the good of man that one should seek, not physical annihilation."
