God is the divine
power, for which a solution to our problems or fulfilling our desire is not
impossible. Mere sight of God destroys our sins and increases our alms-deed. And
that is why we visit the sacred places. However there are some rules to be
followed by visitors. One such rule is to visit barefoot.
It is an essential
tradition in the temple, to be barefoot. Devotees enter premises of different
places of worship like Temples, Mosque, Guru dwara, by leaving the shoes behind.
There are many
reasons to enter barefoot.
Holy places are constructed
in such a way that they accrue positive energy at that location. A barefoot devotee
absorbs that positive energy easily.
Not only it
increases the positive energy of the devotee, it is also healthy for the devotee.
Walking barefoot is like getting acupressure therapy. And we all know the
benefit of acupressure.
Apart from this
there is a religious point of view. Shoes carry dirt along and may breach the
sanctity of the temple. For however short interval, we strip ourselves from
physical comforts, while we are visiting the sacred location. This simple movement
can be seen as penance.
