Dear Learned Members:
Adiyen has a small doubt on the significance and the correct postures maintained
-while one receives teertham (holy water) it is a practice that one folds the fore finger. What is the significane of it and is this the correct way???
-while one does a saashtaanga namaskaram (prostrating in front of God) it is customary for some people to cross their legs and otherwise. What is the correct way? Also, a friend of mine happened to tell that prostration should be avoided. I am not sure about its validity and it has been a practice of everyone to prostrate in front of the God. Please let me know if there is any thing wrong.
Ramanuja Dasan,
Chaithanya
