Miss Pooja - Boycott?

I agree with most of the posts and I also recognise that many of the Gursikhs on this forum are not interested in bhangra music and many probably dont even know who Miss Pooja is (which I think is actually a good thing lol)

However, if we look at the wider Punjabi community, many of them are both Miss Pooja fans whilst being sympathisers of the Sikh Cause as well. My question is, do many of her Sikh fans know that she is actually a Nirankari? If they dont know should they know? Finally, if they do know should she be boycotted?

Thanks for your views doctor_mani. Could please explain why you think she is a legend and dont care if she is a Nirankari.

I thought that the Akal Takhat Sahib had passed a Gurmatta stating that Sikhs could not support or associate with Nirankaris after the Nirankari Guru sat with his feet on SGGS ji and his men killed 13 protesting Sikhs in 1978. My understanding is that Nirankaris are enemies of the Sikhs regardless of the fact that they may be 'legendary' singers or otherwise.

Singhavelli and Singhson are right - the original post has got it wrong. The song 'bigs up' the pagh, not the other way round.....

I personally don't listen to bhangra these days but listening to a song is not 'associating' with that person.

It's a minor issue - who in their right mind would be influenced by a singer?

Dont have concrete evidence but:

http://miss-pooja.blogspot.com/ gives a biography and states that she is from a nirankari family.

She released the following album: Avtar Bani(2006) - Miss Pooja & Arvind Kumar. (Nirankari religious songs)

as seen in her discography: http://miss-pooja.blogspot.com/2008/06/mis...ography_15.html

If anyone can provide evidence to the contrary, then please come forward

i think her musics wicked, havent heard any of her nirankari music or whatever it is, obviously im a monah so my opinion doesnt count, but for the record in terms of just bhangr music, shes bringing the desi stuff back into the youth more than this mc and new age stuff. in reference to this post as a whole, you should boycott BHANGRA as a whole, not just miss pooja, cause BHANGRA as a whole is anti-sikhi is it not?? why dont you change the title of the thread, you look like fools just arguing about miss pooja when the bigger anti gurmat picture is bhangra as a whole..

    • Yeah, that's one possibility. Another I initially thought is that it's a Muslim trying to gather info. But then, you might ask, how does he know about Sikh textual sources. Well, you'd be surprised at their resourcefulness. A final possibility is he's a weak Sikh who was asked a question by a non-Sikh and now he's suddenly feverishly wondering where it's "written" that you can't marry a young child. To the latter, I would say, you're looking in the wrong spot. Gurbani isn't a 1428 page rulebook, like Leviticus or the Vedas: ਸਿਮ੍ਰਿਤਿ ਸਾਸਤ੍ਰ ਪੁੰਨ ਪਾਪ ਬੀਚਾਰਦੇ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ਗੁਰੂ ਬਾਝਹੁ ਤਤੈ ਸਾਰ ਨ ਜਾਣੀ ॥ The Simritis and Shastras discriminate between charity and sin, but know not the essence of the Real Thing. Without the Guru, they know not the essence of the Reality, know not the essence of the Reality. Anand Sahib.
    • You're confusing two different things: One is merely adding starch to a turban to get a certain feel to the fabric. The other is tying your turban once and taking it off like a hat. It is this that people have a problem with. What's wrong with it is that Rehit says to tie your turban afresh every time. If you ask, "Where is that written?", it's written in Bhai Nand Lal ji's Rehitnama. @ipledgeblue didn't just make it up. Umm, no, bro. We're not evangelical Christians like President George W Bush of the US claiming to "talk to God" who told him to invade Iraq. "Speaking to him directly" basically ends up being doing whatever you feel like with the excuse that Guru ji told you to do it. If you still want to take your turban off like a hat, feel free to do so, but don't claim that it's Rehit.
    • You don't need to wear either a pag or dumalla in the gym. You can simply wear a meter or 1.5m small turban (gol pagg or round turban). It doesn't come off.
    • The reason you don't see anything wrong with it is because like a fish in water, you grew up in Western culture and imbibed it fully. It's very difficult to for parents to inculcate traditional culture while in the West. The reason there is a problem is because a kiss between a man and wife is a sexual act (I didn't say it's coitus, but it's still sexual.) By contrast a kiss between a mother and a child, for example, is not sexual. And in our culture, sexual acts are not allowed in public. Goras do allow it. And that's also the reason they have gay pride parades now with people walking around naked with children in attendance and so forth.
