About bowing sowing ko kura haru, In the end it all boils down to faith. Think about Shree Shree Shree Shahi Baba. Some people adore him, some people would kiss his feet, some people wouldn't wanna touch him with a 5 ft pole. Discussing whose faith is betterh whose faith is not is pretty useless because there is not going to be any answer. Personally I wouldn't treat them any differently than any other person of their age. I would give them the same respect and courtesy that I'd give to anyone who's older than me, because that's my culture. Even our Nepalese culture of respecting elders and bowing to them might be classified as "Slave Mentality" by the self stylized democrats here. In the end, different strokes for different folks. Nothing to write home about.
