1. Why people touch the feet of a sadhu

    People want to be cheated. They come to a sadhu for some material benefit. Don't you see that people are so much anxious to touch the feet of a sadhu? What is the reason? Reason is that if he gets some favor of the sadhu, then "I shall be happy materially." That's all. They have no idea, becoming servant of Krsna. "Asirvada."
