Why Shouldn’t There Be Dance at Weddings? (In Simple Words)
These days, weddings have become more about decorations, food, and DJ dance. People feel like a wedding is incomplete without loud music and dancing. But have you ever thought about what this actually leads to? According to Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj, a wedding is a sacred ceremony, not a party or a dance event.
1. Dancing at weddings spoils the atmosphere
Imagine it’s your sister’s wedding. Guests are there, food is being served, and suddenly loud DJ music starts playing. Boys and girls start dancing, some people drink alcohol and get rowdy. Now think — is this really a sacred wedding atmosphere or a nightclub party?
Many times, this kind of environment leads to fights. Someone gets offended, someone stares inappropriately, someone’s drunk — and the whole celebration turns into chaos. There are many real-life examples where weddings turned into police cases just because of dancing and misbehavior.
2. Dance increases lust and bad thoughts
When boys and girls dance together, their body movements, clothes, and the lyrics of songs often lead to impure thoughts. The sacredness of the wedding gets lost. A wedding is meant to be a moment where two souls unite in front of God — not a time to play vulgar songs and perform suggestive dances.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj explains that true spiritual practice means keeping the mind clean and focused. But dance and music disturb the mind and pull it towards desires. That’s why dancing is considered a big distraction in the path of devotion.
3. Waste of money
Nowadays, people spend lakhs of rupees (thousands of dollars) on DJs, lighting, fireworks, and unnecessary show-off. Sometimes parents even take loans or borrow money just to make the wedding look grand in front of society. But ask yourself — is this really about love and joy, or just about impressing others?
Simple weddings are completely possible. The money wasted on dance and show-off could be used to help someone in need. Sant Rampal Ji often says that simple living is true living. Show-off only brings stress and spiritual loss.
4. Bad influence on children and society
When kids and teenagers attend weddings filled with alcohol, dance, and loud music, they get the wrong idea. They begin to think this is what “fun” means. Slowly, they start copying the same behavior.
Imagine if instead of DJs, we had spiritual songs, peaceful bhajans, and wise teachings at weddings — kids would learn the right values. But with dance and drinking, we are only spreading negativity — both physically and mentally.
Where is true happiness?
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj teaches that real happiness is in devotion to God, not in dancing or partying. At weddings, if we pray, listen to spiritual teachings, and remember God, we receive blessings and peace of mind too.
Important Story :-
One day, I read in a newspaper that a boy from Rohtak was
going to Bhiwani in a car to get married. With him in that car were
the husbands of his two sisters. On the first day, all the family mem
bers (sisters, mother-father, cousins, brother-in-laws, paternal uncles)
were dancing to the music played by the D.J. They were in a state of
frenzy. The car in which the groom was sitting collided with a big
trailer near Kalanaur. All the passengers of the car died. The bride
groom died and both the sisters became widow. The parents had
only one son. Everything got destroyed. Now dance to the music
played by the D.J. Such crises are averted by doing the bhakti of
God. Therefore, it is a strict order to my (Rampal Das's) followers
that - "Be fearful of God and then act. Perform marriage in a simple
way. There is no guarantee in this evil world. Who knows when a
crisis may befall?"
Conclusion
A wedding is one of the most sacred and important events in life. Don’t ruin it with alcohol, dance, and unnecessary show-off. Celebrate it with simplicity, devotion, and gratitude to God — that’s where real joy lies.
Sant Rampal Ji Maharaj’s message is clear: live a pure life, stay away from worldly distractions, and walk the path of true devotion.
