Benefits of Namaskar

After doing Namaskar, to completely imbibe the Chaitanya of the Deity, instead of bringing the folded hands down immediately, place them on the mid-chest region in such a way that the wrists touch the chest.

The "Anahat chakra" is located at the centre of the chest. Akin to the Adnya chakra, the activity of the Anahat chakra is also to absorb the Sattva frequencies. By touching the wrists to the chest, the Anahat chakra is activated and it helps in absorbing more of the Sattva component.
