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.

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.
