The
calligraphy
My mother tongue is Saraiki Punjabi and the script
is Gurumukhi, which is developed by the Sikh Gurus
in late 15th century, while second guru started
to rewrite the poetry of sage poets of oriental
region and of different religion, collected by
the first guru Baba Nanak.
Very humble rounded and spontaneous artistic and
spiritual feel of the script always interests
me since my child hood I started to write Mool
mantra from Shri Guru Granth as an every day meditation
in 1994 and till date it is my every day practice.
I found a family of the traditional handmade paper
makers who prepared wasli paper from jute for
the fifth Sikh guru was editing the anthology
of sage poets for guru Granth. Now I am using
the same acid free wasli paper and vegetable dyes
for writing the hymns from Guru Granth Sahib.
