GLUTEAL AMNESIA, also known as the "dead butt syndrome" simply means:

➡️ Your gluteal muscles have been "unused" for so long that they now fail to activate whenever your body needs them to

Role of the Glutes:

➡️ Play a major role in the way our body moves

➡️ Not just there for aesthetics

➡️ Crucial for keeping our torsos upright, moving/rotating of the thighs & walking/running

GLUTEAL AMNESIA ⁉️

➡️ Glutes get so weak that they forget to activate

➡️ Consequence: Other muscles need to compensate - such as your lower back muscles or hip flexors

➡️ This can cause all sorts of problems such as lower back pain, knee pain & poor posture

To do a Namaskaar or bow before someone means that you are humble or without pride and ego. This means that we politely bow before you since you are better than me. Pranipaat(प्राणीपात) also means the same that we respect you without any vanity.

Surrendering False pride is Namaskaar. Even in devotion or bhakti we say the same thing. We want to convey to Ishwar that we have nothing to offer but we leave all our pride and offer you ourselves without any pride in our body. You destroy all our evil karma.

We bow before you so that you assimilate us and make us that capable. Destruction of our evils and surrender is Namaskaar. Therefore we pray same thing before and after any big rituals.
