“Mudras are a non-verbal mode of communication and self-expression,
consisting of hand gestures and finger-postures. Mudras are symbolic sign
based finger patterns taking the place, but retaining the efficacy of the spoken
word, and are used to evoke in the mind ideas symbolizing divine powers or the
deities themselves. ”
