Why Do We Not Clap Our Hands In a Gurudwara Sahib?
Posted: Thu Mar 12, 2015 6:16 amRequest you all to please let me know the correct reason behind this.
i do not think too many people are going toa nswer to your request. it is a social net. the serious people stay away from here.
but i would like to say a few words my conscious dictates me to say.
clapping during the qwali and other occasions is to praise the function performed by the performer. it is a good gesture. remember this is a gesture from the brain and haa haa hee type of feelings, that do not last for long.
in gurdwara or sahib . it is a sacred place. here the value is put on the soul, godliness, humility, love and greatness to worship God. it is sacred. here only the soul has to admire and clap. it is done in the head and by bowing down the head the respect and admiration is shown. but the soul speaks.
you asked the question. can u tell me if you clap in gurdwara, it disturbs the calmness of the audience of the devotees. it is an atmosphere of peace and calm in gurdwara which gets disturbed by clapping which is a physical phenomina, not a mental one. i would like to hear from you for further discusion or argument depending whether you are trying to chase the devotees or want to learn something out of it.
in gurdwara some times if the deotees want to praise the performer, they say bole so nihaal satsari akal. it represents the function of seriousness and admiration by the soul.
does anyone feel the same when they clap and admaire the performer.
lastly. it is a discipline in gurdwara otherwise the huligons can start making noise which is not the function in the gurdwara
