The majority of Mohyal Brahmins identify as
Hindu, with some also identifying as
Sikh.
Guru Nanak, continuing in the tradition of
Bhakti Saints, revitalised
Sanatan ('Hindu') wisdom in order to make to accessible for the common people of late
Medieval India. As a part of this transformation, many Punjabi Hindus, including the Mohyals, revered and followed Guru Nanak. This devotion towards Nanak's
mat (teachings/wisdom) led them to follow Nanak's successors and then assist in the creation of the Sikh ethos. Moreover, as the latter Gurus became martial, this community was a natural home for the warrior-class of the Punjabi Hindus. Some notable Mohyals include the brothers
Bhai Mati Das and
Bhai Sati Das, both died alongside the ninth Guru,
Guru Tegh Bahadur, for protecting
Hinduism from
Aurangeb's extremist policy. ==See also==
