Aashirwaad…… the blessing!
……being born and bought up in metro like Delhi, where everyone’s concerned with their own interest, and nobody is bothered about the other guy,….yes a society still exits there but merely to exchange gifts in diwali and drink in holi!
….waiting for my school bus at bus stop, with other kids and their parents, and uncle X comes with his kid, and my dad said….”beta uncle ko namaste karo!”(say hello to uncle), …..me being a curious creature always, thought why my dad always insists to say “Hello” to that uncle!…..as the things started passing by……I started greeting uncle and afterwards, get engaged with his son talking stuff like cartoon, movies and games…….while my dad and uncle get into their kind of talks….don’t remember exactly what they used to coz I was least concerned about their stuff!
….few year down the line we went to our village, where my grandparents stay. I was always fascinated about the things in village like the water-well, the huts and mud houses, cows, buffalos and their calves, and other nitty gitty things I’ve heard from my mother’s long lasting/never ending village sagas! The village added an additional level of curiosity when, I was commanded by my grand-pa to touch the feet of a person, that person was my grand-pa’s friend and a Brahmin, and the same question popped out of my curious mind,…..why?
….I tried to find out why we are forced to do that exercise, and at that point in time just got one answer that just because they are elders we should!! …..even though not with the excuses/reasons given to me…..I followed the pattern blindly…..as most of us do!
….In my collage days, I met two guys from Bihar, and we later became good friends, I used to go to their places for study or other reasons like, fixing up their computers!(….yep that was my part time job during my collage day…;). During the visits to their place I found out that these guys do lot’s of feet touching exercise in their normal course of life, whenever somebody comes to their house…..and the same old curios million dollar question!!! WHY!!!
…..this time I was a bit matured and tried to infer why? why is it necessary to say namaskaar to our guests/uncles/aunts? why it’s necessary to touch our elder’s feet? or specially on occasions like festivals or exams? and finally got the answer that ….. it’s not merely a ritual but it’s a way to show your affection towards them! It’s a way of getting their blessings which will never come out directly in front of you! On the other way round, you show your respect towards that comes from inside.
….and after this enlightenment I was never shy of touching my elder’s feet or saying “Namaskaar” to them….and that voice always comes from the depth of my heart!
Namaskaar :)
