When she tells everyone to sing along to the Gurbani shabad from Sukhmani Sahib ji, she takes up a yoga pose. Many are not familiar with it and will make nothing of it because they don't know better. She sits by placing her hands on her knees and then touches her thumb with her index finger. This is one of the poses yogi bhajan taught his followers to hold as part of his yoga teachings and its a mudra. Gurbani does not approve of mudra poses. I was doing seva at a Akhand Paath and there was a lot of Singh there. Time came to do Rehras Sahib. about 15 Singhs sat together and one singh took the same pose as she has in this video while singing the shabad from Sukhmani Sahib. I looked at him and saw it and shook my head in disbelief. However I was not the only one to notice his manmat behaviour. One of the senior singhs saw it and you can just see his facial expression go from happy to a very assertive look. He immediately looked at the other singh holding the pose, who was similar in age and this singh was ready to listen to Rehras Sahib from the senior Singh. But the senior singh was not going to let him promote his manmat in this group. In Punjabi the senior singh, goes what are you doing, our Gurus never told us to sit in this way, wherever you learned to sit like that....leave it there and never bring it here. We are Sikhs....there was a lot more said, but I couldn't remember all of it because I was laughing my but off and was told my a senior to stop it while he was laughing with me. It was the most comical moment and most teachable moment in that group of Singhs. This senior Singh did not hesitate to speak up for what is right. And this senior singh was not some random guy. He was respected and devoted his life to teaching Gurbani to all ages. The singh he gave a harsh lesson to, learned from it and never got upset or didn't show he was upset. He respected the senior singh and followed his Guru given instructions. Some might say this was such a small thing. But only those understand how big of a change this after contemplating over Gurbani for hours and hours.
I have not seen the whole video. When I watch the rest, If I see anything else that shows she got her teaching from 3ho, I will point it out here.
