Samayukta Hastas or Double Hand Gestures in Bharatanatyam

Samyukta Hastas are also called as Double hand gestures or Combined hand gestures. Unlike Asamyukta hastas, these gestures require use of both the palms to convey the message or a particular meaning. For example the Anjali Mudra is a simple gesture where both the palms are joined to mean a Namskara or to imply salutations. I have also put some images of double hand gestures. Each gestures has its own uses which is termed as Viniyoga. I am writing a separate post on each of these mudras.

    Hallo
    and
    NAMASTE !

    Thank you for running this page.

    Let me first give me a few words about me:
    My work (including teaching “Meditation – Dhyana in the education of Yoga Teachers,close with Patanjali)
    led me into mudras, including living (in motion)
    led me to ever deeper connection with mudras and asana-mudra-gestures. And with the living forms, which you can witness e.g. in Balinese Dance.

    You have a treasure ! on your page. There are so few who look at the combined and complex energies !

    What I find utmost important is to also practise
    the combinations of
    mudra – mantra – attention with the god.

    There are so many such mudras …. and your research obviously makes them available, with names, and energy
    connections.

    Can you do more of this ?

    From now on I shall include your website on my new materials, as an important indicator to our purposeful enegy worlds.

    If you like, you are most welcome tocome in tuchwith me !

    Thank You
    again,
    and all the best wishes

    Yours
    Atmakaya
