Certainly, the videos of Amritdhari women dancing and performing Bhangra appears to show some incongruency.


Perhaps the practitioners are not able to distinguish between what is a cultural practice (bhangra) and the religious/spiritual aspects (connotations of being an Amritdhari) of the faith.


Then again, I'm sure that there are others who will argue that there's no fundamental issue with Sikhi and dancing.  They should consider this: a person who has dedicated their life to spirituality and the service of mankind wouldn't exactly be found living the lifestyle of clubbing and hitting the bars.  You can do one, or the other, just not both simultaneously.  It doesn't work, they are mutually exclusive.


However, these folks are from the 3HO group, the same people who have put Guru's Bani to a dance track and do group dances at their solstice festivals.


At the very least, this shows a dire lack of understanding and education of the faith.  It displays their ignorance and arrogance.  It is obvious they have not genuinely studied Sikh history.


And furthermore proves the fact that they indeed have no real connection to Gurbani, which we (as Sikhs) hold so sacred and beloved that we cherish it with our very breaths and lives.
