Understanding the mudras of this Keerthanam

Post by laya2 »

Hi,

I have many doubts in mudras in this Keerthanams http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j5v-5q97 ... re=related

It's so beautiful and I am eager to learn this. What mudra is he using in 1.34 - 1.35. Is he using Kapitha mudra in right hand and pathaka mudra in left hand?

What is he doing from 2.21 - 2.40. I know he is trying to depict the 10 avatars but I am not able to understand some of them.

mudras from 3.21 - 3.34

also could somebody explain the meaning of this song.

thanks.

What mudra is he using in 1.34 - 1.35. Is he using Kapitha mudra in right hand and pathaka mudra in left hand? - Yes. that is the kapitha viniyoga mudra that denotes acquiring or stealing.
