Lagu Naraj Shand, A tuk from Akal Ustat.


Recommended Posts

taken from another forum.

In the Akal Ustat, at the end of the verse of Tuv Prasadh, Laghu Naraj Chhand, paudhi 69, it ends with: Tuhi Tuhi, Tuhi Tuhi, Tuhi Tuhi, Tuhi Tuhi. (Only) There is you, There is you, There is you, There is you,There is you, There is you, There is you, There is you. Tuhi Tuhi, Tuhi Tuhi, Tuhi Tuhi, Tuhi Tuhi. (Only) There is you, There is you, There is you, There is you,There is you, There is you, There is you, There is you.

It is said that on the banks of the river Sutlej while Guru Gobind Singh Ji was composing the Akal Ustat he went into a deep trance state (smadhi) and so deeply emersed was he in Akal Purkhs glory that we continued to say 'Tuhi Tuhi, Tuhi Tuhi......' for hours. It is a tribute to the Sikh scribes who were writing down the bani as Guru Ji was composing it that they filled pages upon pages upon pages of 'Tuhi Tuhi..' When Guru Ji opened his eyes he decided in his wisdom only to use two lines of this so as to keep within the poetic structure of the composition.

yaara paper and ink in those days wasnt mass produced, so it would be intresting to see how the scribes managed to write pages and pages of tuhi as some stories begin blowing the number of days or amount of paper out of proportion.

Also what would have been done with all this extra paper ?

Its a nice story but i think it is just that, a story.
