I think i heard the names in katha, do they get mentioned in sooraj parkash?

I think the link I posted earlier is very similar to how they would make it......I think its about using a specific gurumantar whilst making thoof...not too sure though. Are you looking for specific ingredients to make the 'thoof' ??

hmm... just to clarify, there is the stick dhoof, and then there is the coal dhoof... and then there is the granules that is put on top of the coal. in doing this, smoke comes out. id like to know how they make the granules that they put ontop of the coal.. nothing (as far as i no) to do with the stick dhoof...

incidently, it is actually a guarded secret of how they make it. i created this post just to see if any one else knows. because i realy need to know, as well as want to know. it may seem mundane however, its very importent to me to find out the basic ingredients and then the extra, special ingredients that go into the concuction. this concuction is the real deal. proper from puratan times.. which is just one of the reasons why i wana no..

much appreciated gursangat!

Sant Jagjit Singh Ji Harkhowal wale list the ingredients in their autobiography - downloadable from the boss website I think, or search this site for links to download it.

You won't be able to get all the ingredients, but most are available. Let me know if you don't find the book.

The ingredients are the same, whether stick form or loose. Are you in the UK /Canada? If so, there are some Nihang Singhs that know how to make it.
