Can any one show where it states in Sikhism no dancing please? Is this something made up or are there strict rules regulations on this?

First of all, all those quotes on the end of the last page dont refer to dancing for the sake of entertainment, but the practice of several sufi saints to dance to reach God. Just like bani says wearing certain robes or clothes won't help you reach God, there's nothing wrong with doing them.

Secondly, the double standard here angers me... if this was tasteful bhangra done by BROWN people, would this be on here? Time to grow up and worry about our own sikhi before chastising others.

rajdeep that is totally taken out of context.

also nothing wrong with bhangra, in fact the bhangra moves come from the warrior martial arts used by singhs anyway, and i don;t mean gatka.

i didn't watch the vid so don't know how they're dancing, but in general i do not follow any anti-bhangra jatha, and i do see some bad side to dancing, but to totally say doing bahngra is bad is rubbish and has nothing to do with sikhi.

and don't tell me singhs didn;t do bhangra after victory.

i don't have any issues with anyone doing bhangra whether Gursikh or not. i do belive that bhangra is not what it was 20/30 years ago, then it was clean and for family celebrations etc. Now bhangra dance/music is completly associated with Alcohol, Kaam etc. Look no further than the videos that are coming out, you can't even watch them with your family..for this reason i've disassociated myself from bhangra...but hey, each to their own...

my only suggestion to 3HO is to listen to the meanings of the songs they dance to and select only those songs that have a deeper meaning and not just about getting drunk.

when we r in our 8.4 million junes we beg guru ji for 1 life so we can get closer to him.

Then guru ji does great blessings and makes as a singh or singni

and now mosst of as go in bangra and stuff wene we die what do we tell guru ji "oh it was my m8s wedding i was doing danceing/ bhangra. guru ji gives as 1 chance in millions of years and we waste it we should least do 2.5 hours of simran path of seva each day at min but most of this dont do this even me i cant do this so we can ask guru ji to blees as with that. and ask him to take as awaye from the 5 and daneingh/bhangra drugs take as awaye from this crap and get as to guru ji.

gupt says

don't matter

i didnt say there is anything wrong with having fun

THAT IS NOT FUN FUN IS WHEN WE SINGH GURU JI PRAISE GRUOO VAHEGUROO VAHEGUROOO SAY THAT WITH YOUR FULL HEART AND THAT IS FUN.

In gurbani it says

guramukh laahaa lai geae manamukh chalae mool gavaae jeeo |19|

The Gurmukhs reap their profits and leave, while the self-willed manmukhs lose their investment and depart. ||19||

and we mango with nothing because with bhangera so i am sorry gupt bu u r wrong.

Dass is sorry if dass said any thing erorng or if this hurt any one but this the truth.

VAHEGUROOO JO KA KHALSA VAHEGUROOO JI KI FATHE!!!

hope guru blesss as all

gupt says

don't matter

i didnt say there is anything wrong with having fun

Bhangra is a nice clean, and socially acceptable form of dance that is individualized and usually gender partial.

The athleticism and agility by those individuals is great:

:R:

Additionally, enjoyment of life, happiness, love and caring are the key principles of life we must also endeavor to and aspire to become.

We can not remove the beat from music, so towards tasteful music and clean dancing.

    • If relationship with Guru is strong, then kanga is done twice a day, and turban should never be taken off or put on like a hat, there is a lot wrong with that as it is against rehit! maryada is to take off every layer of turban/pagh/dumalla individually, and tie fresh turban each time!
    • the whole 'your husband/wife is chosen for you'/sanjog thing is real, it's just that a lot of people end up marrying the wrong person. they did not end up with the person that was meant for them. my friend, you should marry someone who you feel a connection with and love. there are millions of sikh girls, i'm sure you can find someone who aligns with your sensibilities and who you can truthfully say that you love. sikhi does not say anything against love marriages. you can also be in a loveless arranged marriage which is a safe option b/c both families are more inclined to keep the union intact. i was one of those people who was like meh, i guess i'll just get arranged to some sikh. well i finally started dating for the first time this year and i'm getting married to someone that i love and cannot even imagine leaving. i think it's better to have lost & lost than never loved at all. unfortunately, a lot of people confuse love w/ looks & lust. a lot of men go for the fittest girl they can find and think they won the jackpot or something. in reality, your partner should be like an extremely loved best friend. there's a reason why it's a fact that the most stable and long-lasting relationships started as friendships.  i also think a lot of women are petty and divorce over small reasons, but there's other terrible things like high cheating rates as well. that's why the divorce rate in the west is high. be careful out there.
    • andrew tate praises sikhi too & likes sikhs. his brother also donated to sikh families iirc. they just like any "alpha" religion and tbh islam is the most "alpha" in their eyes. islam is very good at promoting that image. but imo a real alpha man doesn't command respect by beating up his wive(s) or forcing them to wear a burqa. a real man will have his woman listen to him w/o raising a hand or his voice, and command respect by being respectful. he leads by example and integrity. that's true masculinity. you get the idea. + yes, it's definitely true that islam is growing rapidly and making massive inroads. strength in numbers + belief will do that. but rlly it's just because of the birth rate. a lot of them are muslim b/c it's their "identity" just like how a lot of young sikhs will say they're "culturally sikh" or whatever. there just aren't billions of sikhs who lambast their identity everywhere and have strict and linear rules like in islam. besides, the reality is that islam and its followers are some of the most morally bankrupt. you can see all the weird trans rules in iran, bacche baazi in afghanistan, visiting brothels, watching p*rn, p*dophilia what goes on behind the scenes in countries like uae & qatar, etc, and come to your conclusions. you can google all the stats yourself and see which countries do the most of these ^.   
    • stop associating with hinduism, that's the absolutely worst thing you can do as a sikh. not sure if you noticed but the entire world looks down upon and spits at india & hindus, literally no one respects them and considers them weak and cowardly. literally 1+ billion of them but not perceived as a strong religion commandeering respect. 
    • you wrote a whole lot but told us nothing. what exactly did you do wrong to make you feel this way?
