Sangat ji,

i just head about this AnHad Band. I tried to be reasonable and on their side.

but i just lost it at 2:40 of this video
people hooting

Who does that on gurbani?

This band should feel more responsible and stop their audience from this sort of idiocity

Please skip to 2:40 in the following video

Thanks Mehtab Singh Ji.

It hurt's doesnt it? When someone says something about "our" jatha or group, and their activities. So let's learn from this and extend the same courtesy to other groups, who like the rest of us are trying to find their way home, but maybe not taking the same route as us.

Savinderpal Singh, seeing as Admin couldnt/didnt say it, I will ask you "If you have an issue with a particular Jathebandi, instead of launching cheap attacks, why don't you go sort it out with them? Or report them to Akal Takht if you're so concerned about the Panth and find something wrong or anti-Panthic about them?"

Sound advice Admin Ji.

I am guilty of posting a similar video a while ago and going all "WHAT!!!!". I also posted it on another forum that some may see as "hardcore AKJ". Anyways, one of the senior Gurmukh veerji (I say so because I deeply respect him) on that site said its not an issue as long as Guru Maharaj's saroop isn't there, as various people derive spiritual joy via various methods. Our gore GurSikh brothers and sisters sing Gurbani in their own way. I don't listen much to it, maybe once in a while, as I am more attached to the traditional keertan styles, but I personally don't see anything wrong.

Rest Guru Sahib knows best, it is He who will judge us, and it is only He we are answerable to.

The Sikhs that are outraged by the video are not accepting the what the audience is doing. If someone wants to use a guitar or any other instrument to sing Gurbani it is fine by Sikhs. It is the audiences reaction to the singing of Gurbani that Sikhs refer to as disrespect. 99% of that audience do not know what is being sung. They are screaming, whistling, hooting and hollering. Ask yourself would any Gursikh of the 1980s accept this behaviour. They would stop kirtan half way and tell the sangat to get it together and if not they can leave the kirtan program. Also I know which senior Gurmukh you are referring too. He was also the one that said there needs to be in jatha cleaning of the hooting and hollering during kirtan programs held by the same jatha he is part of.

Ask the rowdiest jatha, Nihangs, and they will smack the taste out of a Singhs mouth if he ever displayed this kind of behaviour during singing of Gurbani.

The audience in the video do not know better; they are being misled. The Sikhs on stage are to blame. They should have stopped the audience the first instance they heard the screaming. However they are teaching others such behaviour is acceptable.

When it comes to Kundalini yoga, 3HO cult wants complete silence and focus from the one's learning. But when it comes to singing of Gurbani, they encourage their students to make a complete mockery of Gurbani, by screaming, hooting, hollering and dancing.

If today Sikhs want to say this behaviour is acceptable, then tomorrow do not be shocked when Gurbani is being danced to at wedding receptions. The ignorant just need a good beat and they will make a mockery of anything.

    • 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?
