Whenever he sees another Singh approaching at a distance. He greets him with 'Vaheguru Jee Kaa Khalsa! Vaheguru Jee Kee Fatheh!!' Rehatnama Bhai Desa Singh

But these days so many people blank you when you say Gur-fateh , on the street they don’t even look your way its like they ashamed to see another Singh.

A Sikh should never attack another Sikh. He should recognise others as the Guru Khalsa and should remain fearful of them. Rehatnama Bhai Desa Singh

These days Sikhs slander each other out of jealously and try to bring another brother down. If someone in the uniform of a Sikh is committing crime like rape etc, it does not mean you cannot bring them to justice. (the Rehat is referred to a Gurmukh (proper Gursikh))

They who do not accept my Hukam and do not perform devotional service of Sikhs, they are faithless melechas. Thankhaanama Bhai Nand Laal Jee

Guru Gobind Singh Ji tells Bhai Nand Laal jee that his Sikhs must show love to each other and not act full of hatered towards others. But these days a lot of Sikhs cannot stand the sight of each other due to a few minor issues.

Those who do not engage their minds into the Keertan and the discourse; and those who attempt to defame a disciplined Sikh are punishable. Rehatnama Bhai Nand Laal Jee

So to all the people who are making up propaganda to defame a good Singh or the ones that are cussing a next Singh who is making a stand for Sikh principles, will be punished.

Dancing

Dancing

Why do people dance?

· To have a good time

· To celebrate something

· Some people go dance classes as a form of exercise.

· Some people do belly dancing, exotic dancing for enticement (sexual purposes).

· In punjab people celebrate their harvest with bhangra.

· Women do gita at social events.

Historic Khalsa and dancing:

· When women and men took Amrit, they stopped dancing as they spent their time in devotional worship and fighting wars for justice.

· When the Khalsa wanted to have a good time or celebrate something they will go to the Gurdwara and get a patt done. They will also show their show by preparing beautiful langar for the sangat and the poor.

· The Khalsa did hard martial intense training so dancing for health benefits was irrelevant.

· Sikhi teaches modest and self dignity, so dancing for enticement is definitely out of the question. However when the mughals kidnapped or arrested Sikh women, they took their Dastar off and dressed them up with all types of jewellery and tried to get them to dance for their dirty desires.

· None of the Sikh Guru taught Sikhs any type of dancing. They taught us to read Gurbani, do seva and learn how to defend ourselves.

Singhis that had been captured by Mughals were Drugged and forefully dressed like the above picture.They tried to make them dance to satisfy their filthy desire.. But the women did not dance as they were daughters of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji. The women were the drugged again and raped.

Ladies Khalsa Camp 2006 – Belly Dancing – But thses days khalsa women take part in enticing dancing willingly.

Gurbani quotes and Sikh code of Conduct on Dancing:

Sikhi has no relevance to dancing; it is a Punjabi cultural thing. Because Sikhi is about getting to God and serving Humanity, therefore dancing has no relevance to dancing.

(If either by dancing or by shouting or by beating drums, the Lord may be obtained), then the peacocks dance, the frogs croak and the clouds always thunder. Ang 45 Dasam Granth – writing of Sri Guru Gobind Singh Ji

By dancing and jumping, devotional worship is not performed. Ang 159 SGGSJ

At weddings these days we have tunes with lustful lyrics, and some women have enticing clothes on and dance on the floor in front of strangers (like a clubbing environment) The worst thing is that her brother and father is there. Where is the honour in this?

Those who listen to dirty lyrics and lustful tunes with attention, listen Nand Lal Jee, they will be punished by the angel of death;

Rehatnama Bhai Nand Laal Jee

O my fascinating Lord, may I never listen to the faithless cynic, singing his songs and tunes, and chanting his useless words. Ang SGGSJ 820

When you dance as a couple, it can get pretty intimate. (Gridding dance style in clubs) Most of the time you will not even be married to the person you are dancing with.

Some are lovers of beautiful young women; emotional attachment to Maya is very dear to them. The unfortunate self-willed manmukhs remain asleep. O Nanak, those who intuitively serve their Guru, have perfect destiny. ANG SGGSJ 569

Without having Anand Karaj those who have sexual relationships. Listen O' Sikh the Guru states, he is not my Sikh.

Rehatnama Mukhthnama

Offer you head and take the Amrit prepared by five Singhs. The code of conduct (Rehat), which they bless you with, should be enshrined in one's heart.
