Are there any historical examples from Guru-kaal where Maharaaj did Bhangra/Gidha, etc or encouraged his Sikhs to do so? Remember, these folk dances must have been common during those times too. What about the quote from the Rehatnama (along with the evidence from Gurbani)? Don't put dancing in the same category as singing and painting. There is historical evidence available for those. Again, what was the need for those Rehatnamas (with so many rules and codes to the followed)? The Sikhs who wrote them were Brahamgyanis (they had way higher spiritual states than all of us on this forum). Strict discipline is utmost crucial in the life of a spiritual aspirant.

Santheya also involves learning about vishraams (aradh, alap, chaal, etc), which are taught in Taksal. Therefore, Daas would say that Taksali santheya is not an easy task. Bhul chuk maaf

It is not that simple. 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.

There is nothing wrong with those rituals. Jhatka maryada is followed by Nihang samprada. Arthi is also done by Sampradas. Bhul chuk maaf

Wasn't Gyani Badan Singh jee a Nirmale scholar? Bhul chuk maaf

These Sikhs need to arm themselves with licensed firearms. Along with that, they all need to become Amritdharis and carry Kirpans with them. They need to seek support of Akal Purakh. I hope SGPC, DGPC, Sant Samaj, etc, help them with their needs. Bhul chuk maaf

Gyani Sant Singh jee Maskin (mentioned in op) was not a Taksali. Even, Gyani Gurjit Singh jee might not be Taksali. His video has been posted in this thread too. Bhul chuk maaf

Did he? See if you can find it online. Btw, how many pages is Mahankosh in print? 2000+? Bhul chuk maaf

Daas will give you an idea, to illustrate the difficulty level of Taksaali santheya. Within the first 5 Pauris of Sri Japjee Sahib (excluding Sri Mool Mantar), there are more than 25 tips that have to be followed for correct pronunciation. Just imagine how many tips a Paathi will have to remember for the entire Nitnem. Anyways, Daas thinks that this discussion will be more fruitful after you have had a conversation with Gyani jee or Baba jee. You should have enough material (like the stuff mentioned in these topics) with you to take to your meeting with them. Bhul chuk maaf

Is it smaller than Mahan Kosh? Do you know of any scholar who has written a kosh exclusively on Sri Dasam Granth? Bhul chuk maaf

The above is true, but she (wife) doesn't know that. One of the interpretations is that the Pathan is not in love with his wife. Based on that. we can safely assume that the wife must be desperate to make an impression on her husband. Now, a slave comes to her with an idea to please her husband sexually. Obviously, there is greater chance that she will listen (and act) on his advice, than say if their relationship was already on a foot footing. She must have thought that the slave is actually trying to help her with her relationship. Some Chugalkhors might make you believe that they are on your side and speaking for your benefit, but they could be having an insidious agenda against you. Bhul chuk maaf

Maybe the slave was aware of oral sex, while the Pathan and his wife were not. Once, you have knowledge about a concept, it is relatively easier for that person to use it as a tool to create a wedge between people. So in this instance, he kept the Pathan in the dark about oral sex (and also misled him), but shared that knowledge with his wife. That created a misunderstanding among them resulting in an murder.
