Sāshtāng Namaskar

This is the way, how Men & Women should do Pranām to Bhagawān or to another person out of reverence.
This video is showing men performing Sāshtānga Namaskar (Touching of 8 parts of body to earth) and woman doing a modified form of namaskāara (kneels down with palms joined together) to express their complete devotion.
In our Hindu culture women generally not perform 'Sashtang Namaskar' because woman's breast and womb are considered sacred as they nurture a new life and revered enough not to touch the ground.
This namaskar is believed to be a form of destroying our ego. Sashtang Namaskar, which signifies modesty, is a process of removing our ego.
Namaskar means you are thanking mother nature, God and the divinity within the person to whom you're prostrating.
