I hate to tell Christians who are closed minded, but the two hands folded together to pray is an ancient Hindu Mudra, used many many years before Jesus was born.

Yoga means “Union”...

Just as communion is unifying ourselves with Jesus and Our Father.

The important question is who you’re praying to.

You’re seriously implying that the Christian posture of prayer comes from yoga?

I don’t hold my hands together like that to pray, though I was unaware of it’s ties to Hinduism. I’ve only seen people in paintings do that, or little children in movies. But then, I am not in a liturgical church that may teach things like that, though.
