SrI Vaishnavas prostrate only once in front of Lord, AchAryAs/bhAgavathAs. Can learned members or someone who has access to Sastras (for backing of this) please reply with appropriate reasons. ====================================================== Some Desika Sampradaya scholars have given the following as their proper reasoning for multiple prostration: " SrI ParAsara Bhattar, in his thaniyan for thiruppAvai says "gOdA tasyai nama idam idam bhUya yEvAstu bhUyaH" ie. " .. may my repeated prostrations (namaskArams) to GodA increase forever .. " Bhagavad RAmAnuja in His VaikuNTha Gadyam says " ... praNamya utthAya punaph punaha praNamya ...." ie. " ..prostrating many a times repeatedly by getting up and down ...". " ====================================================== Can someone knowledgeable please get authentic information with referrences to Shastras. a:zhwa:r emberuma:na:r Jeeyar thiruvadigale: saranam adiye:n ra:ma:nuja da:san Mukundan Vankipuram Pattangi http://www.radioramanuja.com
