Mahant Swami : ウィキペディア英語版 | Mahant A mahant is a religious superior, in particular the chief priest of a temple or the head of a monastery.〔''New Oxford American Dictionary'' (2nd ed., 2005), p. 1020.〕 The Hindi word ''mahant'' is from Prakrit ''mahanta''-, from Sanskrit ''mahat'' "great".〔''Webster's Third New International Dictionary'', p. 1361.〕 Other titles for the word Mahant, serving in the context of a well known religious place, include priest or pundit, being generally always a Brahmin, gyani, or pastor. In other branches of Hinduism, the mahant is an ascetic who is the head and leader of the temple and has religious responsibilities as a preacher. Amongst the Sikhs, mahants stood for hereditary managers who controlled Sikh gurdwaras until the formation of SGPC in 1920s. 〔(Mahant )〕 ==Notes==
