Ink Used By Ther Gurus

Recommended Posts

ink is ink. In Guru Granth Sahib ink is a metaphor at times but there isnt some recipe for ink , or then there would be a pakorey recipe somewhere also :umm:

Are you going to try to write a Saroop?????????

Why not start with a gutka like maybe a Sundar Gutka?????????/

I dont think most people would even write a Saroop correctly as it takes a whole lot of spiritual understanding and satkar. Proper satkar is a must and if you dont know about the ink issue then I question whether it would be sacreligious to attempt to write a Saroop etc.????????

I wouldnt risk getting a blackened face and held accountable for beeaadbi etc..............

I don't think you need to use the kind of ink used by Guru Sahib. You should buy the most expensive ink you can, and make sure it has the most lasting properties.

You should also buy the most expensive, acid-free paper you can.

There are great spiritual benefits to writing the praises of God, as mentioned in Bani:

kehathae pavithr sunathae sabh dhha(n)n likhatha(n)aee kul thaariaa jeeo ||

Those who chant are sanctified. All those who listen are blessed, and those who write save their ancestors. p 81

I don't think you should attempt to write all of Gurbani right away. Start with a few shabads in your personal shabad book. Improve your handwriting. Find out about foot-characters, visarg, halant, and some other special characters that only occur in Gurbani, and not and modern Punjabi.

Then write Japji Sahib. Then a full gutka. Then you can do seva of writing a full srup of Guru Granth Sahib Ji.

how do u make the ink that was used in the guru granth sahib? whats the recipe? and how do you make it??

i heard that its in the starting pages of the guru granth sahib..

gurfateh

There's apparently a formula for ink (shiahi kee bidh) in some handwritten birs (usually at the end). You don't need to bother with this, as you should probably use modern inks with modern papers. It would likely be difficult to get all the ingredients even if you were in Punjab.

    • 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.
