Posted on June 6, 2008 by sangeethas

Four variations in neck movements are prescribed.

Here is what Mr. Santosh Kumar has to say about Greeva Bhedas

Sundari cha tiraschinaa tathaiva parivarthitha

Prakampitha cha bhavagnair gneyaa greeva chathurvidhaa

Meaning

  • Sundari - Moving neck from side to side (atami in general terms)
  • Therashchinaa - Moving neck up and down in atami like the gliding of a snake
  • Parivarthitha - Moving neck from right to left like a half moon
  • Prakampitha - Moving neck front and back like bird/ pigeon
