Where are you getting that they were “prostrating;” all I see is a reference to a “bow.”
Huh, I have no idea.
Prostrating is common on certain of the high holidays (e.g., Rosh Hashana) among several Orthodox and the Chabad people are trying to bring it back, in general.
Full prostration was, of course, the practice of the High Priest and perhaps others when the Temple was there.
But I don’t know about Karaites. I had a college roomate who is/was one of the few Karaites left; I can call and ask.
