so more close to token of respect as we touch the feet of a mahapurkhÂ
or do shastar namaskaar
either way, shastar are our saints as wellÂ
so would you say sgpc was wrong to "ban" itÂ
How I see it is, that when they worship idols, trees, animals, graves etc  they pray to it, so they ask it to answer their prayers. Like they go to a grave and ask the grave to answer their prayers and if the person buried under the grave answers their prayers they buy a green sheet and cover the grave with the sheet.
But with Shastar Puja, from my understanding, they aren't asking the shastars to answer their prayers, neither do they pray to them, or ask them for guidance.Â
