"The Atman is the God-Self that dwells within every human being. In Eastern countries, it is customary to greet a person with the palms pressed together in a prayer-like position under the chin and bow. This act greets and acknowledges the Divine Self in everyone you meet.

We live in duality and are caught in a world of opposites. The hands pressed together symbolize unity, transcendence and God. The left hand merges with the right hand to create a oneness that prepares us for meditation and prayer and greeting the Atman. "
