Sir,

"pAdasEvanam" is service.
"vandanam" is prostration.

"vandanam" is inner attitude.
"pAdasEvanam" is attitude in motion.

"vandanam" is symbol.
"pAdasEvanam" is institution.

"vandanam" is fuel.
"pAdasEvanam" is the vehicle that runs on fuel.

"vandanam" is poetry.
"pAdasevanam" is prose.

"vandanam" and "pAdasEvanam" are inseparable comrades.
"vandanam" without "pAdasEvanam" is hypocrisy.
"pAdasevanam" without "vandanam" is an impossibility.

Regards,
dAsan,
Sudarshan
