[quote]Amrutham, amruth or amrit is mythological drink that makes you immortal. This was found by churning milky ocean (samudra manthan) by gods and demons. It is believed that gods drank this and became immortal.
Nectar is also divine drink favored by gods. This is western concept. But nectar is not exactly same as amrit. Nectar does not make you immortal as amrit does. As Amrit is a Hindu mythological term, there can be no exact substitute word in English.

Can its equivalent be the Elixir of Life as is described in many European myths and tales?

Alright everyone is talking about 'Amrit'. Well Amrit is a auspicious drink that once you drink you will never die. But what will do in forever living time.So it is better to die after a certain time which god has fixed for us.
