"It is common in Sant deras to tell people not to read Chandi Di Var"

Naamdharis are vegetarian yet constantly repeat baanis such as uggardanti, chandi di vaar and indeed sampooran akhand paths of Sri dasam.

Mehta Chowk is a taksali dera where parkash of sri dasam is done regularly but no meat is consumed.

"whether the Kirpan is sharp or usable, or if they know how to use it, is questionable. "

This point is true of countless nihangs singhs as well who I have seen wearing standard issue sikh missionary kirpans.

"The old tradition was that a Sant could not keep worldy items, as a Sant was separate from maya. "

was Raja Janak not a Sant?
was Prehlaad not a Sant?

(Gurbani actually states Prehlad was a sant..

ਸੰਤ ਪ੍ਰਹਲਾਦ ਕੀ ਪੈਜ ਜਿਨਿ ਰਾਖੀ ਹਰਨਾਖਸੁ ਨਖ ਬਿਦਰਿਓ ॥੩॥
संत प्रहलाद की पैज जिनि राखी हरनाखसु नख बिदरिओ ॥३॥
Sanṯ parahlāḏ kī paij jin rākẖī harnākẖas nakẖ biḏri▫o. ||3||
He preserved the honor of Prahlaad, and destroyed Harnaakhash with his nails. ||3||)

Prehald owned possesions, Janak was a king, Sant Ishar Singh Ji Rare Vale lived amongst maya yet like the lotus flower remained nirlep.

"At one point they even attempted to create the Nirmala-Buddha Dal, but lost their battle in the British court."

I would like to see some evidence for this claim.

"They make their health suffer., suffer from runny noses, constant flu and cold, feel withdrawn, have to wear two or three pairs of socks, and so on."

I love the survey of vegetarian sock wearers - just another weird oddity of this article. I am vegetarian and I can say that I have never had to wear extra pairs of socks...lol

"In the Prem Sumarag Granth, Guru Gobind Singh writes about Jhatka, and what types of meat to eat, as well as the methods of slaughter."

This is assuming that Prem Sumarag is entirely the work of Dasme Patshah - again an unfounded claim.

"Just eating meat, kills the energy of the mind."

Why dont we worship lions, wolves and jackals they must all have still minds?

Just a question for you Singh Ji have you ever performed the act of jhatka - physically cutting off the head of an animal yourself?

This may be a personal question and please refrain from answering it if you dont want to - i'm just interested.

I find this last article disturbingly unfounded...

This is not an attack Singh Ji - you have some good articles but this whole meat eating is best just tips you on the opposite side to hardcore vegetarians.
