‘Matha Teko’ to Baba Ji before leaving for School. Geet follows the ritual religiously! She does every morning before leaving for her School.
"Matha Teko" is a term used in Sikh culture, where "matha" refers to the forehead, and "teko" means to touch or bow. It's a gesture of respect and surrender, symbolizing humility before the divine. When someone says "Matha Teko" to their Guru, they are showing deference and acknowledging the Guru's wisdom. This act is seen as a way to connect with Waheguru's wishes and seek blessings for various aspects of life, including success in school. It's a way of seeking guidance and strength from a higher power while also expressing a desire for positive outcomes in one's endeavors.

Teaching young individuals the significance of practices like "Matha Teko" can have a profound impact on their character development and life journey. By instilling this habit from an early age, they learn the values of humility, respect, and surrender. These qualities can become foundational principles that guide their interactions with others, their approach to challenges, and their overall outlook on life.
I, as a grand parent, wish my young granddaughter Geet best of luck to walk on these footsteps of values of similar habits. I also pray and seek blessings of Waheguru ji that she may be overall successful in life with a balanced attitude.
