Answer 2

Answer:

Sashtang Pranam or Prostration is the placement of the body in a reverentially or submissively prone position as a gesture. Typically prostration is distinguished from the lesser acts of bowing or kneeling by involving a part of the body above the knee touching the ground, especially the hands. Major world religions including Hindu & Muslim, employ prostration as an act of submissiveness or worship to a supreme being or other worshiped entity (i.e. God).

It's definitely a submission but it provides the person/ Devata whom we are doing this Pranam, to look at our spinal cord. Spinal cord is the source of our projection upward and by doing this, all blessings allow it to repair/upgrade or help to reach a higher plane. Sashtang namaskar or dandvat is a symbol of complete submission that reminds devotees to respect God. Devotees perform sashtang dandvat pranam by lying fully prostrate on the floor with their arms stretched out towards the Idols.

The word 'Shaastaanga' can be splitted as Sa plus Ashta plus Anga, which means the 8 parts of a body touches the floor. The eight parts are - 2 shoulders, 2 Hands, 2 chest, 2 knees. This type of Namaskaar is performed in temples, to spiritual Guru and elders. The special meaning for this type of Namaskaar is, it is like a log fall down without any support. By performing this Namaskaar, we signify the Lord that, "You are my only support. Without you I am nothing."
