Nihang Singhs eat jhatka meat because of their traditions. The guru allowed this tradition of jhatka to be practiced within his army and by his soldiers; it wasn't for civilians to eat. Maharaj said to them that if need be you may jhatka and eat it, not just goats and chickens ut any animal you may find in the jungle. The nihang singhs of today still folow this tradition. When performing jhatka on a goat first the goat is bathed then japji sahib and chandi di vaar are read. One singh stands by the head of the goat and upon the final lines of chandi di vaar being read 'those who sing this divine Ballad will be liberated from the realm of life and death', at this moment the goat is decapitated with one blow and the soul of the goat is liberated. The goat itself lowers it head to receive salvation.
