What To Do With Old Paper That Have Gurbani On Them?

How should papers that have baani written on them be disposed if no longer needed (for example flyers, advertisements, etc). Is it fine just to recycle them? Or should something else be done? And what should be done with papers that have hand written baani that kids used for practicing gurmukhi?

Thanks in advance.

Vaheguroo Ji Ka Khalsa, Vaheguroo Ji Ki Fateh,

_Gupt_,

Daas has been instructed by elder GurSikhs that any paper with GurBani requires Satkaar through Fire.

Don't get bogged down with this too much, and turn it into a ritual however, it is solely out of respect this is done.

Hope this helps.

Either light them with fire so they turn to ash or just immerse them in a river or in the sea.

Should baani such a japji sahib be read before doing this or just ardas?

@ _gupt_ and simran345- my family have done this on wedding cards what have gurbani on and also old pictures of the gurus as a clean way to dispose of the paper out of respect doing agan peth. There are many learned sikhs on this site which can redirect me if this is in anyway wrong. If you want to say mool mantar or whichever Paath or even waheguru simran, it's upto you, it's your personal relationship with waheguru. In whatever situation you choose to say gurmantar, it is a good thing, go crazy I say lol.

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
