    I love how this Haka started off with about 15 students, then suddenly grew to like 50+ students! The Haka really looks to be a wonderful way for people to express themselves in a most positive outlet and way.

      I find the Haka to be a window into how powerfully and emotionally connected the Maori culture is. A cultural community openly, boldly, and profoundly expressing the deepest of human emotion as a unit is a humbling reminder of what it means to be human.
      The Maori are doing it right.
      The day their culture is lost is the day that humanity loses it’s soul.
      May they always thrive!
      God this was hard to watch.

      steve hazard : I’m going to guess “Virtue Signaling” is the new catch phrase being kicked about. I am aware I cannot know everything, but at least for me I’ve never heard of VS before. But it sure sounds appropriate for these times and perhaps what is taking place in this video. I have yet to use VS in a conversation with someone myself, but I’m sure it won’t take me long to throw it out there to see what kind of response I get :-)

      Yes, this always amazed me. Seeing white people mixed with "maori" shaped faces doing the haka gives me chills.

    • @SabakaJunglay
      @SabakaJunglay 4 роки тому +5

      @Josef H. The religion developed during wartime, because the first Muslims were attacked and tried to defend themselves. The war is chronicled in parts of the Holy texts. This would be like if a new religion was being formed in Poland just as Hitler's army was invading it. If that happened, there might be passages talking about attacking Germans, but that wouldn't make the religion anti-German. Islam teaches that all of the human race is one family and encourages Muslims to get to know people from other backgrounds and to see other people as brothers and sisters. Discrimination against non-Muslims is prohibited, as is racism. After the war ended, with the Muslims fleeing to Mecca, Muhammad rose to political power but never used his power to retaliate against Jews and Christians for the war. Under Muhammad, there was religious freedom and interreligious harmony in Mecca.
      It's okay to have questions, or disagree with part of a text, or part of a religion, or to dislike aspects of a religion, but ultimately, religion is between you and God, and every individual has their own journey. This is why making blanket statements about a religious community doesn't work. There are controversial passages in any religion.
      But by all means, if you prefer not to practice a religion, feel free, that is your journey.

      I concur with Moana Chase. Haka, at least war Haka, aren't really performed anymore to intimidate-- the one exception being the All Blacks NZ rugby team that perform it before a match. But yes, Haka are performed for many special occasions; funerals, weddings, graduations, birthdays, etc.

    The Haka is a traditional dance form of the Māori people of New Zealand. It is performed by a group of people with vigorous movements and stamping of the feet with rhythmically shouted accompaniment . The Haka is often performed to welcome distinguished guests, or to acknowledge great achievements, occasions, or funerals.
    Maa Kali is a Hindu goddess who is considered to be the goddess of time, change, power, and destruction of evil.
