Guru Amar Das (Gurmukhi: ਗੁਰੂ ਅਮਰ ਦਾਸ [ɡʊru əməɾ dɑs]; 5 May 1479 – 1 September 1574) was the third of the Ten Sikh Gurus.

Guru Amar Das took up cudgels of spirituality to fight against caste restrictions, caste prejudices and the curse of untouchability. He thus established social equality amongst the people.

He strengthened the tradition of the free kitchen, Guru Ka Langar. Guru Amar Das introduced the Anand Karaj marriage ceremony for the Sikhs, replacing the Hindu form. He also completely abolished amongst the Sikhs, the custom of Sati, in which a married woman was forced to burn herself to death in the funeral pyre of her husband. The custom of Purdah, in which a woman was required to cover her face with a veil, was also done away with.
