Vaheguru,

Another good move is:

Imagine you've just had a bath/shower and are drying your back with a towel.

Just about sums up Bhangra and what it's worth.

Good for drying your back and changing light bulbs!

Its also v good exercise. And lets face it our mostly overweight community can do with all it can get! Lol :)

The amount of wasted food and needless consumption of junk food at parties is more detrimental to your health despite doing bhangra.

You're better off going running, biking or even power walking if th eonly reason is exercise.

Actuallly i think you will find that those that dance eat less compared to those lazy sorts that sit on the table the whole time as the food is passed by them . When u dance u don't feel like eatin just dancing! You sound like the type that is either can't dance wont dance i give you some lessons! Lol ;)

No some of those people who sit during weddings excercise daily(incl myself). Everyone can dance, its just moving around to rhythm. Some prefer not to get up and join in, I have avoided dancing for a while as it just hasn't felt right for me, I used to be big on dancing but recently Ive been feeling differently. There are lots of reasons people dont dance, for me it was listening to intution, it just didn't feel right for me.

I know bhangra veerji and real bhangra, not this new stuff where you dance to gandh. Not to mention I know how to play the dhol. :p

I used to be on bhangra teams when my hair was cut from elementary school all the way up to high school. If you want to dance at parties then go and dance but it isn't for me anymore. I usually see drunk uncs dancing at parties with their gogards sticking out lol. Even as a kid when i used to do bhangra in never danced at parties because i thought it was weird, now i have deeper reasoning behind it...

Rest in peace Bindrakhia, your voice was great.

Guilty pleasure:

No matter what anyone says, this was still a part of punjabi culture (bolian) as they tell stories.

While we're at the subject, RIP Chamkila as well

Parties are all about ego and showing off their money to people in almost all cases. Real fun is travelling the world, doing sewa or something that involves higher level thinking.

Get out of "punjabi" mentality. Sadly that's what I call it even though it's not real punjabi mentality. :\

    • The Mind is Jyot Saroop (Waheguru), but the mind is under the influence of five evils… Through Naam Simran( Rememberance), the mind will begin to detach from evil, and get back to its original form ( MANN TU JYOT SAROOP HEH)… Until the mind breaks free from the five evils, one will go through the cycle of paap and punn….which leads to Karma… Naam Simran destroys past karma, and prevents new karma coming into fruition… I did this, I did that… This non realisation of the Jyot Saroop gives rise to paap and Punn, which in turn gives birth to suffering and misery…
    • I agree we're not born with sin like the Christians think. Also I agree we have effects of karma. But Gurbani does state that the body contains both sin and charity (goodness): ਕਾਇਆ ਅੰਦਰਿ ਪਾਪੁ ਪੁੰਨੁ ਦੁਇ ਭਾਈ ॥ Within the body are the two brothers sin and virtue. p126 Actually, we do need to be saved. Gurbani calls this "udhaar" (uplift). Without Satguru, souls are liable to spiritual death: ਜਿਨਾ ਸਤਿਗੁਰੁ ਪੁਰਖੁ ਨ ਭੇਟਿਓ ਸੇ ਭਾਗਹੀਣ ਵਸਿ ਕਾਲ ॥ p40 Those who have not met Satguru Purakh are unfortunate and liable to death. So, yeah, we do need to be saved, and Guru ji does the saving. The reason Satguru is the one to save is because God has given Satguru the "key" (kunji): ਸਤਿਗੁਰ ਹਥਿ ਕੁੰਜੀ ਹੋਰਤੁ ਦਰੁ ਖੁਲੈ ਨਾਹੀ ਗੁਰੁ ਪੂਰੈ ਭਾਗਿ ਮਿਲਾਵਣਿਆ ॥੭॥ In the True Guru's hand is the key. None else can open the door. By perfect good fortune the Guru is met. p124
    • That's unfortunate to hear. Could you give any more information? Who was this "baba"? He just disappeared with people's money? Obviously, you should donate your money to known institutions or poor people that you can verify the need of through friends and family in Punjab.
    • Sangat ji,  I know a family who went Sevewal to do seva sometimes end of 2019. They returned last year in great dismay and heart broken.  To repent for their mistakes they approached panj pyaare. The Panj gave them their punishment / order to how t make it up which, with Kirpa, they fulfilled.  They were listening to a fake Baba who, in the end, took all the "Donations " and fled sometime over a year ago. For nearly 4 years this family (who are great Gursikhs once u get to know them) wasted time and effort for this fake Baba. NOT ONLY this one fam. But many, many did worldwide and they took their fam to do seva, in village Sevewal, city Jaitho in Punjab. In the end many families lost money in thousands being behind this Baba. The family, on return, had to get in touch with all the participants and told them to stop.  I am stating this here to create awareness and we need to learn from whom we follow and believe. It's no easy but if we follow the 3 S (Sangat, Simran and Seva) we will be shown the light. As I am writing this the family in question have been doing the same since 2008 onwards and they fell for this Baba... it is unbelievable and shocking.  This am writing in a nutshell as am at work on my break so not lengthy but it deserves a great length.  Especially the family in question, who shed light on youngsters about Sikhi 20 plus years!!
