Singh# & PAL 07 - I don't know when moving becomes dancing?

Before we stop the little khalsa kids from enjoying the shabads and making them sit still and upright when they sing Gurbani because your theory of rocking is like bhangra can you please give your advice to the Sangat in this clip (esp after 45sec) they are indeed moving too much!

I havent seen them but no kids - animation or no animation - should be dancing along to Gurbani at all. What time is this programme on? This should be discouraged by Sikh Channel - not encouraged. And Sikh Channel, you are obviously active on this public forum - why can't you respond here? You're a community channel, this is a community forum :-)

singh# - it doesnt matter too much if kids get the Gurbani pronunciations wrong, as long as they are trying. Maharaj forgives children because they are innocent and young souls. Parents should teach kids punjabi and santhiyaa from a young age. If kids make mistakes because they havent had that teaching, then the paap falls on the heads of the parents.

The kids aren't dancing, they are simply swaying from side to side, similarly to how many of us rock from side to side when we're sat in the Darbar Sahib listening to Kirtan. Open your eyes a little wider and see the good in the kids singing the Shabad.

The children in Little Khalsa are NOT dancing.

Also the western style music, why is just Sikh Channel being attacked? Bhai Dya Singh from Austraila uses it, why not ask him?? and the animated films?????

We do not se nothing wrong with Little Khalsa, and have had many positive comments from viewers of SCTV.

PAL 07 and Singh#, if you have a big problem about this then you are welcome to our studios ANYTIME to discuss.

Sorry for any mistakes

The main thing is, Sikh Channel have had an enormous positive response from Little Khalsa, and with great efforts from the animators and Khalsa Primary School Slough, finally something of quality to educate the kids (and the adults!) about the Shabad, and also, introduce thousands maybe millions, to Shabads for the first time. Some will always find error, but as the first Sikh Channel, we are making a path, and maybe just maybe others will follow, and help us out to find ways to engage with every generation... (and put their suggestions into action). Many of us can talk on a forum and find error, but only a handful will wake up in the morning and take action to engage with the Sikh youth, and pioneer new ways to do so.

I feel more programs like this should be encouraged. It gets kids wanting to learn more.

[m16]

why cant we encourage sikh channel

sikhs know how to self destruct and always want to criticise

those who criticise - did you ever spend your own money to create a sikh channel?

no? stop being negative then.
