If I kiss my mothers feet out of respect is it a grave sin no or yes strictest answer possible Copy
No. In Jainism, kissing your mother’s feet out of respect, devotion, and gratitude is not a grave sin.
The strict Jain view is that the intention matters:
- Pure respect, no lust, no violence, no bad intent → not a grave sin
- If there is attachment, sensual intent, or harm → then it becomes spiritually improper
So the strictest honest answer is: No, not a grave sin.
