TOUCHING FEET

In Indian culture TOUCHING FEET is quite a significant feature. It signifies how a person keen to learn, takes blessings of a learned person.

As usually understood, it is not a social custom, to pay respect to elders. In the form it is used today is complete distortion of a very technical custom. And the way it is usually performed, it mockery only.

This custom is solely between and a person keen to learn a learned person.

In this process of touching feet, energy is transferred from the learned to learner or two people; if knowledge level is vastly different.

To understand this system, we have to understand a few other features like anatomy of human body and energy concentration due to knowledge.

Looking in technical field, we notice the shafts of rotating bodies are chamfered at the edge. It is done to reduce the stress concentration, in turn avoiding chipping of edge. The shaft accumulates stress concentration at the edge due to rotating and transferring the energy to other shaft of other equipment.

The same way learned persons of certain field or spiritualism accumulate power at nodes (finger tips) of the body. Generally the nails and tips are transfer points of power.

When a person, touches the nails another person of higher capacity, with his finger tips, power or energy flow from higher level to lower level.

Looking at other aspects, there is no use of touching feet of the persons

Who walk bare foot as the energy produced is drained (earthed) not accumulated in the body.

Who wears leather foot wears, as the person who touching dead skin is not hygienic enough.

The only person worth touching feet is one who is learned and wears wooden sandals (khadau)
