Harbhajan-Mona Singh’s ‘Ravana-Sita’ dance upsets Sikhs

News Source: www.thaindian.com

Amritsar, Oct 8 (IANS) As if his on-field antics were not enough to keep him in the midst of controversies, Indian spinner Harbhajan Singh’s ‘Ravana-Sita’ dance number with TV actress Mona Singh on a dance show has left the Sikh clergy fuming.Harbhajan, who is popular in cricket circles as ‘Bhajji’, and his dance partner Mona of “Jassi Jaisi Koi Nahin” fame, had last week performed a number on dance reality show “Ek Khiladi, Ek Hasina” depicting themselves as mythological demon-king Ravana and Lord Ram’s wife Sita.

Gurbachan Singh, the acting head of the Akal Takht, has taken strong exception to the depiction of Hindu gods by the two celebrities, who incidentally, are both Sikhs.

“Though I have not received a complaint in this regard, I think it is unreasonable to mock at religious deities like this. Ravana is known as evil. How can Ravana and Sita dance together? That the dance was done by two Sikhs is condemnable,” the Akal Takht chief said.

He added that if any complaint in this regard was made to him, he would inquire into it and initiate religious action against the erring stars.

Shiromani Gurudwara Prabandhak Committee (SGPC) president Avtar Singh Makkar said that celebrities should desist from such acts as they are role models for millions of fans.

Radical Hindu organisations have also objected to the dance number that allegedly mocked Hindu sentiments.


In Hindu mythology, Rama’s wife Sita was abducted by demon-king Ravana.

“We should show respect to all religions and their entities. If we cannot tolerate anything against our religion, how can we mock at others?” Gurbachan Singh said.

Harbhajan has been mired in several controversies in recent months including his on-field spat with Australian all-rounder Andrew Symonds and opener Mathew Hayden.

He was also involved in a ’slapgate’ controversy with Indian teammate and fast bowler S. Sreesanth when he slapped the latter after losing a match in the multi-million dollar Indian Premier League (IPL) tournament.

Booooooo!!!!!!!!!1

That is not appropriate it is insulting!!!!

Bhaias Ishar Singh once said

Bhaias Ishar Singh once said in his poetry"Kise badi saree tan dharm nu khatra, kisey badi dahri tan dharm nu khatra. Kisey it ukhari tan dharm nu khatra, eh dharm na hoya hyee mom bati piglan laga jiyon lagee dhup tatee"Does harbhajan entitle himself to be sikh even they way he mows his beard.There r btter things to worry than who is ravan asd who is not. Let us leave it to be at entertainment level only

Ramaein

bhala bura saisar vich jo aeia this sarapar marana|| ravan thai ramachandh vang mehan balee larr karan karana|| jar jaravana vas kar anth adhharam ravan man dhharana|| ramachandh niramal purakh dhharamahu saeir pathhar tharana|| buriaeeahu ravan gaeia kala ttika par thria harana|| ramaein jug jug attal sae oudhharae jo aeae sarana|| jas apajas vich niddar ddarana ||18|| - Vaars Bhai Gurdas ji Shabad:257 - I never saw the dance, but this "Hindu mythology" the Ramayana is not anti Sikhi. Indeed there is wisdom, nam within in it. In many ways it is understandable why many distance themselves from certain stuff because of political realities, but as Bhai Gurdas Ji says "ramaein jug jug attal sae oudhharae jo aeae sarana". I don't want to be one of those people that use bani to promote a certain point of view, because we all understand bani on a personal level. Ram and Ravan are often quoted in Gurbani. You could say they are only reffered to in Gurbani to represent certain energies or to explain stuff, but you can say the same for the whole of the Ramayana. "amachandh niramal purakh dhharamahu saeir pathhar tharana." I believe the Ramayana portrays, passes on the Dharmic qualities of Rama to the reader. I am a fan of Singh Sabha movement because it was necessary. But at the same time its important to keep gian in Sikhi. I also believe Gurbachan Singh has been somewhat mis represented. Look at his comments, "Though I have not received a complaint in this regard, I think it is unreasonable to mock at religious deities like this. Ravana is known as evil. How can Ravana and Sita dance together? That the dance was done by two Sikhs is condemnable.” By this comment it can be understood that Gurbachan Singh has taken exception to the fact that two Sikhs have mocked the tale of Rama. He actually questions how Ravan and Sita can dance together, because factually it is not true and I believe Gurbachan Singh has enough gian to know this. By no means is Gurbachan Singh condenming the Ramaein; rather its false and mocking representation by two Sikhs! I don't think any action should be taken about this. There are far more pressing matters for Sikhs to worry about.

He runs his own Slaoon

He is modern Ace - Sikh.

The Ravanas wants to make a Mockery of Sikhism by using Sikhs

The Objective of the followers of Vivekananda is to semi- unrobe women publicly and instill Lust in the hearts of the public , they do this by using Television , Bollywood, and the Print media, their main objective is to destroy pure Bhakti . (One should never be able to control the 5 senses by looking at women with long hair and women dressed half nude ).Shaktas consumes alcohol, smokes cigarettes , Ganja , sacrifice goats and have illicit sex. The gold of the Shaktas is to increase sex power , for the Shaktas life is all about sex. The Demon King Ravana was a lusty Brahman he ate dogs meat , raped young girl , and,had sex with peoples wives and daughters , although highly educated he was evil , lusty and Godless this is all mentioned in the Puranas. Ravana was compared to URINE, and was Killed by Sri Ram , for stealing is wife, he wanted to have sex with Sita Ji .The qualities of Ravana is found in Brahmans associated with Vishva Hindu Parishad/RSS/ Bajrang Dal who prides themselves on the Voidist philsophy of Vivekananda that everything is Zero. During the last 15 to 25 years due to a lack of the teachings of Sri Krishna (Pure Bhakti) and the teachings of the Sikh Gurus, Shaktism has managed to flourished all across India, resulting in massive Rapes and Violence in Delhi, Punjab, Gujarat, Orrissa, and South India. The works of the Sang Parivar a demoniac organization. In order to fund VHP activities many RSS Gurus from India are sent abroad to promote peace, and celebrati Diwali using the Indian Council General,but the main objective is to fund raise money for VHP and RSS to be used to promote their political agenda. Gurus such (Sri Sri Ravi Shankar and Swami Ram Dev,) They are no different than another demon Swami Lakshmananda Saraswatti. These are all first class Rascals no different than Maharashi Mahesh Yogi and Bhagavan Ragneesh these Rascal Gurus have no philosophy and caters to a fallen Hindu Community in America and where ever they are sent by the RSS/VHP/Bajrang Dal But we should always remember that the concept of the Absolute Truth (Wahaguru Ji) as female as taught by Ramakrishna Mission/Vivekananda is a lusty one, And. Mona Singh Ji and Harbhajan Singh Ji are in the mode of passion , they are used by Orthodox Brahmins who controls the media to destroy the Image of Sikhism The Vishva Hindu Parishad who prides them self on the teachings of Vivekananda needs to explain to the whole of India and the world the Voidist philosophy as taught by Vivekananda that every thing is Zero. I can guarantee ever reader of this Sikh net that they will never do it, because it contradicts the teachings of Sri Vyaya Dev Ji the compiler of the Vedic literatures . and I am waiting for a response and I will prove to the world that the VHPis an extremely dangerous organization and should be banned across the Globe.

Wish you all the very KJ singh ji
