The folded hands indicate a meeting of the minds. The bow shows love, respect, and humility.

Namaste’s Spiritual Meaning Hindus use this form of greeting in prayer. In Hinduism, Namaste has a spiritual meaning. It expresses a belief in a common thread that unites all things: consciousness. There are many interpretations of the spiritual meaning of Namaste.
