Desi design : seeking blessings by touching the feet of a fellow elder by age.
The main criteria: whether there was any "elderliNess in that elder?" That criteria got extinct 😜
[27/08, 2:49 pm] PSN: My personal concern was, when I touch the top of the head of a kid doing the ritual of vandanam/namaskaram,
I should be "response_able/responsible"....not a mere "show bijness"( ignorant of EVEN the distinction between anugraham & asheervadam 😭)
Something "positive" needs to be transmitted to that "innocent" kid ( reasonable, isn't it?)
Subtle spiritual energy, preferably 😥🙏
I had to strive for it. Slog .
That kid is-not going to question me, if I get_away with a stupid meaningless touch, as-if I really 'blessed' him 😂 ( I am accountable to my atma/spirit/karma/whatever. None others concern me. A purely personal affair 👍🙏).
( There is a negative aspect as well. Traditional belief is : if that namaskaram accompanies a voluntary_surrender, which is rare, then, I acquire the karma of the fellow bowing/prostrating to me😓. I needed to learn to pass on that karma elsewhere 😜)
Karma is a sort of energy flow too. If I bow to an undeserving fellow, just because he a more aged donkey than me, I acquire his negative energies 😜)
[27/08, 2:53 pm] PSN: In epic stories,
Heavy symbolism is loaded.
Rama had to take the form of a 'normal' human being. But the loophole was, he can 'acquire' the energies of evolved fellow's. Thus, Rama is found doing 'namaskarams' to all & sundries, with utmost humility 😜. Ravana doesn't 'bow' to anyone 😥
