Why we Prostate before parents and teachers

ALL CATEGORIES

Prostrate Brahmanda Indians prostrate before their parents, elders, teachers and noble souls by touching their feet. The elder in turn bless them by placing their hand on or over their heads. Prostration is customary, when we meet elders and particularly on important occasions like the beginning of a new task, birthdays, festivals and the like.

In certain traditional circles, prostration is accompanied by abhivaadana, which serves to introduce oneself, announce one's family and social stature.

Touching the feet in prostration is a sign of respect for the age, maturity, nobility and divinity that our elders personify. It symbolizes our recognition of their selfless love for us and the sacrifices they have made for our welfare. It is a way of humbly acknowledging the greatness of another. This tradition reflects the strong family ties, which has been one of India's enduring strengths.

The good wishes (Sankalpa) and blessings (aashirvaada) of elders are highly valued in India. We prostrate to seek them. Good thoughts create positive vibrations. Good wishes springing from a heart full of love, divinity and nobility have a tremendous strength.

When we prostrate with humility and respect, we invoke the good wishes and blessings of elders, which flow in the form of positive energy to envelop us. This is why the posture assumed whether it is in the standing or prone position, enables the entire body to receive the energy thus received.

The different forms of showing respect are:
Pratuthana - rising to welcome a person.
Namaskaara - paying homage in the form of Namaste (folding the two hands).
Upasangrahan - touching the feet of elders or teachers.
Shaashtaanga - prostrating fully with the feet, knees, abdomen, chest, forehead and arms touching the ground in front of the elder.

They have helped tremendously where no doctor or medicine could have done

Dear Shree Neetaji, Everyday I've been wearing malas you specially designed for me, thank you so much. Now I understand meaning of "Synergistic Combinations" of malas in that various malas and mukhis enhance or interact with one another for fetching and accelarating good results when required. At first when this was explained to me, I couldn't understand what it meant but now after wearing the different combinations together, I feel changes and know exactly what it feels. I wanted to tell you how grateful I am for the wonderful malas you designed for me. Due to the types of health problems I h

You sell Happiness as a business product

I have all the rudraksha from 1 mukhi to 18 mukhi (mix of nepal and java) from you and they work miraculously when it comes to physical healing and self empowerment. My wife who is an MD Cardiologist with Fortis and Holy spirit hospital in Mumbai has also benefitted from the one mukhi java and the career success mala. From my personal experience, though I wear a diamond ring, a pearl ring and a Yellow Sapphire ring, I feel only wearing rudraksha beads give me release of stress and peace of mind.

They work miraculously when it comes to chakra balancing and wealth opportunities

Jai Durga and a Happy Tuesday. I rarely access my yahoo account and just came across these email threads today in my inbox. I am quite amused by the queries asked. All I can tell people is that I am a big fan of Neeta because of her dedication and deligence in providing people with the right information on Rudraksha beads and gemstones.
