Guest guest Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Dear sir, In last two weeks, I am being asked questions (totaling more than 100) during my trip to temples. Here is the first set of questions. Can some learned men answer me so as to increase my knowledge Prostrating 1. Prostrating should be done in front of flag column (dwajastambham). Why? 2. Why we cannot prostrate anywhere in the temple? 3. Prostrating should be done facing north. Why? 4. Why we cannot prostrate anybody else except god in the temple premises? 5. Why man prostrates in a way called sashtanga namaskar whereas woman prostrates in a way called panchanga namaskar? 6. Any significance on the number of times each should prostrate? For example my family always prostrate in the multiple of 2. With respects Kumar Ramabhadran Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
