: The whole act communicates, 'YOU AND I ARE ONE. I SALUTE, HONOR, AND WORSHIP THE GOD WITHIN YOU.' It also means I PROSTRATE MYSELF BEFORE YOU WHO IS A MIRROR IMAGE OF ME, WITH BODY, MIND SOUL.
Is the greeting word 'Namaste' always followed by the hands pressed together, or is it more causually done without such gestures?
