I saw this documentary a few years ago. Mongolians are an amazing people, even though their traditional way of life is now fast disappearing. Smallest and toughest horses in the world and biggest raptors used for hunting, I think its only the Mongolians that have tamed and use Golden Eagles (4th or 5th biggest bird of prey in the world) for hunting, most nations use Hawks or Falcons only, not Eagles.

Golden Eagles are amazing, they used to be the apex predator of the sky in thr last century in thr British Isles until they reintroduced the Sea Eagle to Scotland. I went on a bird of preyesque holiday around 5 years ago to 'Eagle Island' commonly known as the Isle of Mull, and saw the Golden and Sea Eagle head to head! Golden Eagles a highly intelligent hunters, in Oct (from memory) on Mull, hunting season on Deer opens. The Stags and Deer seasonally know this is the time to esacape and climb up the Bens. Many Rangers I spoke to, tild me they had witnessed G-Eagles attacking Stags on cliff edges, clawing their eyes, so they lost their foothold and dropped to their death hundred off feet down the mountain.

It really is amazing seeing Raptors in the wild, Peregrines and Harrier Hawks are amongst my favourite (if you want to know what a bullet feels like missing your face, feed a Peregrine - fastest animal on the planet). Harris Hawks are the best to keep long term, they are very protective, have a pack mentality (in nature they commonly hunt in packs) and will follow you around in the countryside and keep a close eye on you if take take them out and let them loose.

Its good for Singhs to have exposure to these animals to see what true hunters aura and ability is like, helps inspire the warrior spirit in you.

But not for the sqeamish, esp when you have to feed the birds!!! Lots of tearing and blood and guts!! Much like a battlefield!

    • yeh it's true, we shouldn't be lazy and need to learn jhatka shikaar. It doesn't help some of grew up in surrounding areas like Slough and Southall where everyone thought it was super bad for amrit dharis to eat meat, and they were following Sant babas and jathas, and instead the Singhs should have been normalising jhatka just like the recent world war soldiers did. We are trying to rectifiy this and khalsa should learn jhatka.  But I am just writing about bhog for those that are still learning rehit. As I explained, there are all these negative influences in the panth that talk against rehit, but this shouldn't deter us from taking khanda pahul, no matter what level of rehit we are!
    • How is it going to help? The link is of a Sikh hunter. Fine, but what good does that do the lazy Sikh who ate khulla maas in a restaurant? By the way, for the OP, yes, it's against rehit to eat khulla maas.
    • Yeah, Sikhs should do bhog of food they eat. But the point of bhog is to only do bhog of food which is fit to be presented to Maharaj. It's not maryada to do bhog of khulla maas and pretend it's OK to eat. It's not. Come on, bro, you should know better than to bring this Sakhi into it. Is this Sikh in the restaurant accompanied by Guru Gobind Singh ji? Is he fighting a dharam yudh? Or is he merely filling his belly with the nearest restaurant?  Please don't make a mockery of our puratan Singhs' sacrifices by comparing them to lazy Sikhs who eat khulla maas.
    • Seriously?? The Dhadi is trying to be cute. For those who didn't get it, he said: "Some say Maharaj killed bakras (goats). Some say he cut the heads of the Panj Piyaras. The truth is that they weren't goats. It was she-goats (ਬਕਰੀਆਂ). He jhatka'd she-goats. Not he-goats." Wow. This is possibly the stupidest thing I've ever heard in relation to Sikhi.
    • Instead of a 9 inch or larger kirpan, take a smaller kirpan and put it (without gatra) inside your smaller turban and tie the turban tightly. This keeps a kirpan on your person without interfering with the massage or alarming the masseuse. I'm not talking about a trinket but rather an actual small kirpan that fits in a sheath (you'll have to search to find one). As for ahem, "problems", you could get a male masseuse. I don't know where you are, but in most places there are professional masseuses who actually know what they are doing and can really relieve your muscle pains.
