Jahnava Nitai Das 2 Report post Posted January 17, 2003 Why do men and women pay obeisance in a different manner (ashtanga and panchanga namaskara)? There is an injunction in the smritis that the womb and the breasts of women should not touch the ground. The womb and breast is considered holy, as they maintain children, thus they should not touch the ground.
