Re: [sv-rituals] Abhivadhanam

ShrImAn Anand:

It is true that you cannot do abhivAdanam to a sanyasi or a Women.  However, 
you can do abhivAdanam to your mother.  Similarly you should also not do 
abhivAdanam to someone who does not know the proper way of responding to the 
abhivAdanam.

On a related matter, you are not supposed to prostrate before the priest or 
others inside a temple.  Only the Lord is given that respect.
