Thread on the correct postures to perform Shastanga Pranam in front of Bhagwaan ji for man & woman🧵
Sri Sharada Parameswari Devasthanam, Sri Sringeri Shankar Math, Guntur, AndhraPradesh
Pranama stands for: ‘Pra’ meaning in front of or before, and ‘Nama’ means bending or stretching. In combined terms, it means ‘reverentially bowing’ before others, as a gesture of respect.
It is mentioned in Upanishads that women were forbidden from doing Ashtanga, Shastanga which required them not to touch ground in reverence with their chest & womb becoz a woman’s womb & chest were considered very sensitive & slightest muscle pull could disturb their maternity.

Karmanghat Hanuman Temple
Hyderabad, Telangana
It was built by the famous Kakatiya ruler Prataparudra II around 1143 AD. While resting under a tree after hunting for a very long period, the Kakatiya ruler heard the chantings of shri Ram.
He went in search of the voice in the dense jungle and found the Hanuman ji's mueti in seated posture there. He found that divine voice was coming out of the murti itself. He is called here " Dhyana Anjaneya Swami " as he has seen sitting calm and blessings his bhakts.
