Whats The Sikh Position On This?

[Guest Guest]

Is there anything in Sikhism where it says you have to touch the feet of your elderly relatives ( paree panay) as a sign of respect?? or is it a punjabi cultural thing?

No In Sikhism we only bow to Guru. That is it.

yea i figure it's alright to touch the feet of your elderly relatives and parents.....it's showing respect...so long as one doesn't "mattha tek" or do "dandaut" to them cos that is to be reserved for Guru Sahib Jee......lots of kids born and brought up in India/Punjab touch the feet of their parents too and i don't see any big deal with that.

so i belive not to parents eighter .... hmmmmm

yh just do metha teek to guroo granthi sahib jee ur mother father everyone and everything :wub:

The question was asked about touching feet of elders as a sign of respect, NOT bowing to anyone.

It's nothin to do with sikhi it's jus a panjabi thing an well even that is not really done in panjab now.
