Walking barefoot.

Bani KAUR

I’ve seen the panj payaara and sangat who do sewa in the nagar kirtan walking barefoot in the cold and rain in London.
What is the reason behind this? Is it something religious?

      Dear Bani Kaur Ji,
      There is nothing religious about it, it is just the respect and love.

      The following writings clearly describe that there is no importance for nakedness.

      ਬਿੰਦ ਕੇ ਸਧੱਯਾ ਤਾਹਿ ਹੀਜ ਕੀ ਬਡੱਯਾ ਦੇਤ ਬੰਦਰਾ ਸਦੀਵ ਪਾਇ ਨਾਗੇ ਈ ਫਿਰਤ ਹੈਂ ॥
      Guru Gobind Singh Ji in Akal Ustat – 14

      ਨੰਗੇ ਰਹਿਆਂ ਜੇ ਮਿਲੈ ਵਣਿ ਮਿਰਗ ਉਦਾਸੀ।
      Bhai Gurdaas Ji – 36

      Safety and security are more important. Barefooted is required for cleanliness in the Gurdwara Sahib, but not on roads.
      Hence, this is just a ritual only. One can wear shoes for safety on roads.
