6 avarta while performing Suguru vandana:
Lotusfeet of Guru
Yathajaat mudra
(Avarta is touching the consecration of Guru's feet and then touching one's own forehead, symbolic of touching the Guru's feet)
Refer to the picture above to observe how and where to place the muhapatti, both hands and charavala while performing Vandana.
The following series of pictures represent where to place the two hands while saying 'a' and where to place them when saying 'ho'; how should the body limbs be positioned when reciting the other syllables and how should one bow down while in the Yathajat posture.
