TOUCHING FEET

                Well ,Hindus were accustomed with many traditions and rituals ,but there aren't aware of the them.Let me talk about one such thing that is practiced for hundreds  of years  ago.That is none other than TOUCHING FEET (PADA NAMASKAR).It is considered as the act of respecting the elder .           

               Now we will see  beyond the custom in aspect of science.Our body is a special design where the entire body from brain via spinal-chord to feet  are connect through nerves.There are incorporated with seven chakras

. When we touch the feet of elder we are making unification point of ANAHTA (KARUNA)and MANIPUR(SHRADDHA) Chakras which will be activated.
SHRADDHA " reduces "ego" & lower emotions along with Solar plexus chakra .

" KARUNA " activates HEART- CHAKRA of the saints or elders.  " SHRADDHA " increases receptivity of the person ,while " KARUNA " starts to discharge energy from HEART CHAKRA towards the person who is receptive with " SHRADDHA .
There are some physical, mental developments associated with it. The person is not only benefited with the blessings but unconsciously the person reveals his/her modesty and humble nature.

Human body is a conductor of electricity. It consists of positive and negative energies which flow continuously end to end. Our body when vertically divided into two parts the left side of body posse’s negative currents and right side posse’s positive currents. The two parts collectively forms an electric circuit with positive and negative currents. When we touch the feet of elders by standing in opposite direction the left hand touches left foot and right hand touches right foot. Thus energies met, forms a big circuit and energies flow uniformly without any up and downs. When elders bless the person by touching their head with right hand increases the free flow of positive energy by grounding negative energies. Like a lamp illuminates and lights another lamps without losing its energy a person will not lose their energy by giving blessings to children. This gesture thus gives more strength to blessed person and illuminates positive things in their mind.
