What is this Teeyan da Mela all about?

This is what the famous Muslim poet Babu Razab Ali wrote about this degrading festival of women:

Naach Karvonde Si Blaa Ke Dheaa Je, Sogh Payge Arsh Me,

Oodo deaa lageaa lagan teea ji, Bharat barsh me.

Utam Kull Di Karn Bachatree, Marte Malesh Ji

Hind Te Dharam Di Khalri Chatar, Pitaa Ji Dashmesh Ne.

To give a brief translation, Baba Razab Ali writes that this celebration started when Muslims used to pick up the good looking Indian women and make them dance infront of people.

It must be very disgraceful for women to dance at such places, but now them, especially the Punjabans take great pride in celebrating these things. Guru Sahib clears tells us that indulging in things like dancing is total manmat: nach nach hasse chale se roe..

And then the poet tells us that these things were finally put to stop when Pitaa Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji took a stand against the evil Muslim rulers. But we have again started doing these things again.

I am not sure if this kavita is avialable online or not but you can look it up in Babu Razab Ali's 'Chonvee Kavita'. This is the title of the poem and it became really famous when he wrote it. It was basically explanning the brief history of India.

thanks, the reason i asked, is that i don't think the celebration of teeaaan has nething to do with the poem you posted, but i will try to find it to get more info.

Not sure how you could think that way when the word teeaa is clearly mentioned in the kavita.

i don't see how the poem you posted could be related to the teeaan in punjab. I mean if something so gravely dishonorable was being done and the people just don't know about it so out of their ignorence they perform such acts with joy. i didn't say you were wrong veer, i just have a hard time believing that its the same thing...thas why i said i will get more info on it. :TH:

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
