bakthi, saram, vaasi

FROM KB Gopalakrishnan:
-----------------------
there is a high chance for slipping in taking up other margams except bakthi. urukkam, iraivan jaba namam, doing/not doing karmas on behalf of god - are the main attributes of bakthi.
the current life style does not allow to glide easily on other margams
---
saram = swara yoga in north indian (google search) terminology
---
ideally there should be 8 pragaram in the temples. the maximum that can be found is four, which is in srirangam temple. each parigaram is meant for different peeople (devars, manushas, etc) also called as deva veedhi ,etc
---

1. touch the pattle with the tip of the tongue; (say la to touch the pallete)
2. keep the eyes high (focusing the fore head)
3. close the eyes
4. sit in padamasana; left leg over right
