Why is Music against rules of Sikhi

First question. Is non-Gurbani music against Rehit of being Sikh?

Second. What is the ‘proof’ from a Sikhi perspective of this?

I personally think listening to most music outside of Gurbani or Dharmic non-Gurbani does more harm than good.

Obviously some music is ‘worse’ than others with damage/influence to the Psyche and influence on our thoughts and behaviour

But, if I was to explain this from Sikhi perspective to someone challenging me (Sikh or non-Sikh) how would I summarise it?

I wonder if it relates to music with lyrics. 

What if it is music with no lyrics with only instruments. 

Music does have a way of impacting mood and energy. I wonder if it has to do with the frequencies that the vibrations give off?

Yes, it stems from ancient Vedic aatmic energy / vibrational frequencies philosophies, etc. Same with food / diet regulations, i.e. satvic, rajas, tamas, etc. Apne religious instructors don't explain it because they don't have the knowledge to go into the subject on a deep level AND because they didn't study the subject itself, so they rely on Islamic-Sharia style decrees to prohibit it, making Sikhi seem like a one-dimensional Islamic sect.

Yes, it is something that I have come to realise. More through self discovery and putting 2 and 2 together. 

If you hear something like hard rock/heavy thrash metal like Metallica or something of that nature, it has a particular intensity and it make bang your head up and down which is what you see those goreh banging their heads, crowd jumping and chunking themselves in mosh pits. Those electric guitars, lol

I had some spoilt kids in the back of my car once and I threatened them with classical music if they did not behave, lol. I switched on Classic FM (which I never listened to before) but it calmed them down. Very strange, lol and they liked it.

Yes, children often respond well to music. Many Indians use mantras to stop babies crying and to calm unborn babies down too, along with the mother. 

Others use mantras to aid healing of their loved ones in hospital. 

Very powerful tool which should not be forsaken as I'm sure Muslims could do with it. Quite badly.

I vaguely remember something about studies conducted where plants responded to classical music through better growth compared to other types of music.

I think that plants also have some kind of collective intelligence and respond to certain stimuli.

    • 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.
