Did you know that Hindus worship feet?

[Derek84]

Apparently, Hindus literally worship the feet of their gurus (religious leaders). They believe that positive energy radiates out of the guru's feet, so they decorate the feet of gurus.

One of the concepts of Reiki, really...the transferrence of energy, through the crown chakra, down through the feet...

Oh for goodness sake, that has nothing to do with worshipping feet.

Yes, it is.

I wonder if they have stinky feet?

 

[Artoo]

Um...no, they don't.

I've found nothing on this whatsoever on the web other than your own claim which is at the top of Google if looked for.

This might help as far as factual information goes: http://hinduism.iskcon.com/index.htm

Also, having been friends with several who subscribe to this religion and having never once seen it or heard it mentioned, I find this highly doubtful.

Perhaps the correct term would be worship/pay/show respect to their guru's or elders AT their feet. It happens and is depicted in many religions.

Judging by the context of a story you recently posted in the Story forum I'm inclined to believe your claim is more what you would like to believe. If you have proof however, of course I stand corrected.

They worship at the feet of their dieties. They don't worship the feet themselves.

They don't worship bare feet like we worship bare feet!

Cheers.
