  1. From general reading and conversations with shaster makers in india, I have come to determine that sarbloh is either one or both of the meanings which I eluded to earlier,

    as for mahapursh having shaster that were wootz, steel or damascus, all I can say is that shaster from 1700s and 1800s which have definitive proof off being sikh have been wootz, ( including Maharaja Ranjit Singh) so there's nothing wrong with having wootz or damascus shaster, as least not in my mind. Wootz and pattern weld steels are in many ways superior to pure iron.

    I have heard about sakela and faulad from Hazur sahib singhs and have read several published papers and books regarding wootz.

    If I have made any mistakes, please forgive me

  2. From my humble knowledge, I have determined that Sarbloh is the term given to pure iron, however, i have also heard of shaster that are all 1 piece (like a taksali kirpan) being called sarbloh, due to them not having any other materials on the shaster.

    I would not say that damascus steel is sarbloh, due to it being made by at least 2 different steels being forge welded and folded.

    Wootz is faulad and is not a mix of 7 different metals, as it is a crucible steel and cannot be made in such a way, however I think sakela is more akin to the characteristics mentioned earlier ( very lightweight and very flexible).

  3. you can get a flight from Delhi internal airport that will take you to nanded, but it stops a few times at Hyderabad and somewhere else.

    in India, on internal flights you can wear a sri sahib up to 9 inch

    no real issues when taking shaster from hazur sahib, but they may ask you for conformation if they are actually shaster.

    the plane service is fine in terms of security etc

    Anyone know of any Gurdwara in Brum that teaches tabla. Been trying for a while to find one, but the people around me are not sure. There must be a few, all these gurdwara but not much use until sunday collection day. (separate issue, i know. Just fed up).

    I think that soho road gurdwara teaches but i am not too sure what day and time
