According to our scriptures, going to a temple helps us get rid of our stress and connect to the almighty. But, today people have no time for themselves. Even if they go they don’t follow the rules set by our ancestors for going to the temple.
Every rule set by our ancestors has a scientific reason. These rules, if followed, will help you lead a happy life.
One such rule is the rule of doing sashtanga namaskaram before your deity. This rule or ritual is associated with our physical, mental and ideological development.
Sashthanga is considered as a good exercise. Moreover it is a simple exercise. Sit in front of the God. Stretch forward slowly and lie down on your stomach. Bring both your palms in from of you and join them.
This posture helps us relieve stress and improves blood circulation. The blood reaches the brain faster, which is good for our eyes.
In spiritual texts, this pranam is very important as it is believed that it helps us get ride of our pride.
