Bhagavad Gita Chapter 12

PROCEDURE:

Most ancient Hindu Temples floors have the engraved inscription or carvings in stone on the temple floor showing devotees doing sashtanga namaskara in the direction of the main temple deity. Sashtanga namaskara is a full body prostration done with folded hands where the entire body touches the ground to signify the surrender of our ego or intellect and as a mark of respect to God. It is a symbol of dropping the ego and taking refuge at the Lord's feet.
