Cute!

Bad audio, but I can make out "Ya mansoor al-yaman". That is one of the titles of Mansoos, no?

Beats Maatam! Nice to see the artistic expression of genuine devotion. May God bless him.

one of the comments at the bottom mention that he is Bhai Abid Udaipurwala, a reformist Bohra, not a traditional Bohra

Now since the guy in the video has been identified as that from the youth/reformist camp, expect no further sarcastic comments or discussion on this video... If the dancing guy had been identified as an abde, then all sort of comments would have followed.. !

Vasanwala's attempt to malign n defame abdes has proved futile this time ! In fact he has hit an axe in his own foot :)

A weird ritual, never seen a Orthodox DBs dancing that way. Also it is doubtful, why would a Reformist / Udaipuri DB dance that way singing praises for the 53rd Dai ?

One can see a popular photo frame of Sayedna Mohamed Burhanuddin on the wall, with excerpts from his bayaans along side the picture. This frame is seen at many DB’s homes, and it’s a recent popular frame.

There are likely chances that it’s a Yemeni tradition, have seen sometimes Yemeni people celebrate arrival of sayedna sahib or on any other celebratory occasion they dance in unison.

Dance was cute ! old man having some good time !
