________________ Most monks wear only simple cotton white clothes and have a Muhapatti (white cloth to cover their mouth) in their hands or tied over their mouth. Some monks do not wear any clothes at all. They all live a very simple life. Questions: How are our monks different from us and our school teachers? What do we say when we see a monk? Jain Education International The lady monks are called "Sädhvis" and the male monks are called "Sädhus". When we see Sädhus or Sädhvis, we should bow our heads down to show our respect and say, "Matthen Vandämi," or "Vandämi Namamswämi".
