Summary of Question:	Rocking Back And Forth During Paath
Category:	Gurbani
Date Posted:	Saturday, 1/19/2008 11:42 PM MST

Saadh Sangat Ji,

I have noticed that when I do paath, I tend to rock back and forth to the natural melody that arises in my voice. I half recite, half sing the Bani according to the particular raag, and I find that my body begins to rock back and forth along with my voice. I get a lot of joy and energy from reciting Bani this way. Is this proper and/or acceptable to do when reciting Gurbani? Is it too much like dancing?

Sincerely,

It is perfectly acceptable. Guru Ji's naad is powerful and you are simply feeling that. Do not let anyone judge you. Your relationship to your Guru is perfect and intimate. No one has the right to judge that.
