The Khalsa Fauj Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 The thing is that the puratan SInghs called dancing as an act of a kanzri so we are not suposed to dance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sukhi Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Tejvir Kaur! how dare you call yourself a Kaur and think dancing is okay?! are you out of your mind?! dancing can do nothing but lead one to thoughts of lust! even if it's you're cute lil 5 year old cousin doing her rendition of i'm a little teapot! no no no! no dancing! it's frivolous and outrageous!

Pheena Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 The thing is that the puratan SInghs called dancing as an act of a kanzri so we are not suposed to dance. So everyone that Dances is a Kanzri?? Kanzari Baniya Mayree Izaat Na Ghat The, Oh Saanhu Nach kay Yaar Manaa Vuhn They Kun(ear) Vich Mundra Tey Attay Galh(neck) Vich Mala Oh Sanu Mathay Tay Tilak Laga Vuhn They Aakhay Gulam Freeda, Oh The Oh Janay, Sanu Aapni Toar Nebha Vehn They. Yaar in the above Kafi of Freed ji is not talking about Girlfriend, it is talking about God/Guru Further, Meera Bhai of Rajasthan Danced her entire life for Krishna, was she a Kanzri?? Enough with thinking every Dance is a Lustfull Act. Sufis have Danced, they have danced their way to God. You are telling me they are all Kanzaris?? Do NOT GENERALIZE. There are different types of Dances, NOT ALL Dances lead to Lustfull thinking. Some Dance because it is relaxing to them, some dance out of Joy, some dance alone in their room because it frees them. It is your intention of the Dance that is key. Not Dance itself. Please do not limit your thinking to a narrow view. Why did the Santan Sikhs consider "ALL" Dance as Kanzris?? If it is not ALL, then please edit your post so it reflects that. I pray that you become so Inticed with the Love of God that you can do nothing but Dance. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gupy Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 If people think dancing is a form of seduction, then YES dancing is bad. But if your a normal person, who is hormone and emotionally balanced its okay. I mean its not as though bhangra involves dancing on a pole half naked. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singh47 Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 Until recently of about 80 year ago, dancing was a bit of a tabu amongst the Jamindari/Jat class. Instead Kanjars and Marasis would be hired to dance and entertain the Jamindars and Jats. The only Jats that were known to dance and not feel ashamed of doing so were the RiaRki(Gurdaspur region) Jats. But now it seems the Jats have adopted the ways of the Kanjars and Marasis and are the first ones to jump to the dance floors and literally party all night like wild animals. hhmmm... how time erodes traditions... 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 22, 2005 Report Share Posted January 22, 2005 About time then these so-called "traditions" of backwards caste society were eliminated. Jiyo, 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguptkaur Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 In Asa di var it says nachan kaudan man ka chou dancing is a pleasure of the mind, hence it is not really gonna help you get to akal any quicker, it will possibly slow you down[/font:5d6283aa97] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 yeh but neither is telling people to stop dancing, is going to get u to Akaal, probably jus slowing u down, so my advisewould be to leave us moorakhs allown n let us dance, i believe u shud climb a mountain some were away from ne sort of lifen do bhagti.! go for it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aguptkaur Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 i never told anyone to stop dancing just passed on what our Guru says!!!!!! to try and contribute to the topic I apologise that my message resulted in you getting krodh which resulted in a dig at me. I sincerely hope this doesnt slow you down [/font:03ebbca672] 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 from your quote, it can be implied that NOT dancing gives the mind displeasure - isn't it bad to "punish" the mind? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguptkaur Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 may be your right maybe we should give in to the mind, since we dont want to punish/beat it (manmat) man jite jag jeet (gurmat - sikhi) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 I didn't say "give in" to the mind - I said don't punish it! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aguptkaur Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 going back to your first reply giving something displeasure doesnt necesarily mean you are punishing it 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 Exactly! So giving something pleasure does not necessarily mean you are slowing your path to God! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Narsingha Posted January 25, 2005 Report Share Posted January 25, 2005 aguptkaur, if someone wishes to dance, how does that affect YOUR 'bhagti' and 'spirituality'? 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
