Amazing auditory imagery in Sri Dasam Granth Sahib jee. It relates to the sounds made by weapons (sword, arrow, double edged sword, shield, etc) in a battlefield. From Sri Chaubees Avtaar Sahib jee ਤੜੰਕਾਰ ਤੇਗੰ ਸੜੰਕਾਰ ਤੀਰੰ ॥ ਧਮਕਾਰ ਸਾਂਗੰ ਖੜਕਾਰ ਖਗੰ ॥ ਢਮਕਾਰ ਢੋਲੰ ਢਲੰਕਾਰ ਢਾਲੰ ਢਮੰਕਾਰ ਢੋਲੰ ਰਣੰਕੇ ਨਫੀਰੰ ॥ ਸੜਕਾਰ ਸਾਗੰ ਤੜਕਾਰ ਤੀਰੰ Bhul chuk maaf

From Sri Dasam Granth Sahib jee (Sri Chaubees Avtaar): ਪ੍ਰਥਮ ਕਾਲ ਸਭ ਜਗ ਕੋ ਤਾਤਾ ॥ First of all the Lord as KAL is the primal father of the whole universe ਤਾ ਤੇ ਭਯੋ ਤੇਜ ਬਿਖ੍ਯਾਤਾ ॥ And from him emanated the Powerful Lustre ਸੋਈ ਭਵਾਨੀ ਨਾਮੁ ਕਹਾਈ ॥ The same Lord was considered as Bhavani, ਜਿਨਿ ਸਿਗਰੀ ਯਹ ਸ੍ਰਿਸਟਿ ਉਪਾਈ ॥੨੯॥ Who created the whole world.29.

In the katha below, Gyani Harbhajan Singh jee Dhudikey narrates exegesis of a passage from Sri Dasam Granth Sahib jee, with regards to Chandar devta (demi-God). This demi-God was the 19th incarnation of Vishnu jee. Chandar devta was send to earth for a specific purpose by Sri Waheguru jee, but after the completion of his assigned tasks, he became infected with pride. Please listen to this Parsang to understand how this dangerous vice of ego can lead to disasters.

Quote Ayurveda recommends that lunch should be the largest meal of the day, since that is the time the digestive fire is working at its maximum potency. Dinner should be lighter than lunch, and should ideally be eaten before 8pm. If you eat after 10pm, the food is difficult to digest and may cause toxins to accumulate in the system.

In this situation, IMHO, you can follow the timings of Punjab. There are two options: If the sunset is at 6:30 pm in Punjab, you can do your meditation or Sri Reharaas Sahib jee after that time (that is 6:30 pm GMT). When it is 6:30 pm in Punjab, your time will be 1 pm GMT. Therefore, you can do meditation after that time (anytime between 1 pm GMT till sunset). Nowadays the sunset in Punjab is around 7:10 pm (1:40 pm GMT). Around that time, Paath of Sri Rehraas Sahib jee will commence at Sri Harmandar Sahib jee and other historic Gurudwaras in Punjab.

If this Sikh had a Kirpan (not a very small one) with him, the chances were very low that the goons would have attacked him. See what happens when you have a Kirpan (also one needs to get trained in using it): Bhul chuk maaf

Daas is not completely sure about the details of the sakhi below, so please don't quote me on it. Gurparsaad, will confirm it in the future. Sant Baba Bishen Singh jee Murarewale or Sant Baba Sundar Singh jee Khalsa Bhindranwale used to do jaap of "Har Waheguru" as he had a similar thinking as yours. The word "Har" is used the maximum number of times in Sri Aad Gurbani, out of all the names of Sri Akal Purakh. But, when "Anhad Naad" manifested itself to Babajee, he only heard the sound of "Waheguru". There was no "Har". Our Gurmantar is Waheguru and we should try to focus on it. Having said that, one can do Jaap of other mantars (from Gurbani). One Jaap to stay away from (especially forJagayasus) is "Sohang". There might be others, which we should avoid. Bhul chuk maaf

Good message by Paul. It is so sad to see such a low intellectual level in some people. What has the world come to. Bhul chuk maaf

Sri Rehraas Sahib is meant to be recited after sunset, but before 11 pm. So, if the sunset is at 9 pm, then 8 pm - 10 pm would be a good time for meditation. There are three Sandheyas in a day, Amritvela, near afternoon and near sunset. Most likely, these are the best times for meditation. Other than that, whenever a person feels like doing Simran, he should do it. Bhul chuk maaf

Clapping can disturb other people. Therefore, it is very easy to comprehend on why it would not be allowed in Kirtan Darbars. Bodily rhythms, at times, can be involuntary. It just happens. If someone is doing it intentionally (or can consciously limit it), then he should try to control himself, especially if it's disturbing other people. Certain etiquette level must be followed in Sadh-Sangat. When you are at home listening to Kirtan, you can clap and do bodily rhythms as much as you want. Being very strict on such matters like saying that you should not move at all in Sangat is getting impractical, but IMHO one cannot compare these points to doing Bhangra/Gidha. Bhul chuk maaf

Daas does not know the reason why the aunkar is pronounced on Sach. We will talk more on this topic once you have met with some expert(s). IMHO, many native Punjabi speakers will make mistakes in applying vishraams, if they have not studied Santheya. Colloquial Punjabi (in current times) has changed from the time of our Satgurus.

How much has the Indian media covered this incident? Thanks Bhul chuk maaf

Gatka is technically a part of Shastar vidhya. It might seem to an ordinary person as a dance form. Shastar Vidhya teaches a person self-defense and to physically defend the poor, women, children, oppressed, etc. Dancing does not. It is a hukam for the Sikhs to fight against injustice/tyranny. A Sikh should not be doing Bhangra in his field by looking at its yield. Instead, he should be channeling his joy by praying and thanking to Akal Purakh for his mercy. Bhul chuk maaf

If dancing is used as some form of a therapy for an ill person, then that would be fine, as that would classify as an extenuating circumstance. Bhul chuk maaf

Some of the moves done in Bhangra dance mimic that of animals. Do you seriously think that our Satgurus would want us to mimic animals? Maharaaj is trying to take the states of our minds above that of Demi-Gods and look at what this dance is doing. Even the expression "Bakre Baloune" (which is probably a part of the Bhangra dance) means to shriek like a goat. Did Maharaaj want us to behave like goats/sheep or roar like lions/tigers in battlefields (both physical/mental)? Bhul chuk maaf

Artistic expressions within the boundaries of Gurmat. How does one define the boundaries of Sikhism? Repetition of one of the posts above: In order to understand which practices are prohibited in Sikhism (and why), one needs to be an expert in Sikh theology. It is possible that experts might differ here and there, but they should be able to reach a consensus on most major practices. A Sikh theologian needs to have the following minimum requirements: In-depth knowledge of SSGGSJ obtained via studying teekas like Fareedkot, Amir Bhandar, etc. In-depth knowledge of Sri Dasam Granth Sahib jee, Sri Sarabloh Granth Sahib jee, Bhai Gurdas jee diyan Vaaran and works of Bhai Nand Lal jee. Familiar with historical texts such as Sri Sooraj Prakash, Sri Panth Prakash (both ones), Gurbilas, Sri Mehma Prakash, etc. All historical Rehatname (Bhai Chaupa Singh, Bhai Nand Lal, Bhai Desa Singh, Bhai Daya Singh, etc) Once, all the above has been studied*, only then, one can be in a position to understand which practices do not conform to Gurmat. Other easy way is to just trust someone (putting aside one's ego) of the stature of Sant Baba Sundar Singh jee Khalsa Bhindranwale or Sant Baba Gurbachan Singh jee Khalsa Bhindranwale or Pandit Tara Singh jee Narotam, etc, who have spend years in studying all the above (along with their Bhagti). * - studied using the holistic approach too.

Are you sure? Daas never heard that in the katha of Sri Gyan Prabodh. Maybe I missed it. Gurparsaad, will check my notes and get back to you. But, is it referring to Bhangra/Gidha? Bhul chuk maaf

Let's leave the kids aside and talk about adults (who are serious on spiritual growth). Dancing makes the mind unsteady. One's mind needs to be relaxed and steady, while meditating. Bhul chuk maaf
