there is no set thing that you have to say at the beginning and end of a prayer.. a prayer is simply you talking to God.

Hindu is a religion, and you don't get born half a religion. If she is interested in Christianity, let her read the Lord's Prayer in the New Testament of your or her Bible. In that prayer, Jesus taught exactly how to pray!
Then later on, you or her can improvise based on what you are feeling, or just praise God. Hope this helps!

Ever heard of the Lord's prayer? A good place to start.
For more info go to gracethrufaith,com and read how to pray.
The bible can be found in almost all languages and editions at bibleresources.bible.com
Being born in a Hindu country does not make you a Hindu.
It takes purposeful disobedience to do that.

there really is no right or wrong way to pray. Prayer is just a conversation with God. The lords prayer is a great prayer to use as a guide line. It starts with worship, and praise, then summitting to the will of God, then asking God for supplications or yourself and others, and the protection against the temptations of satan, and then ending with praise and worship.

Prayer is simply sharing your heart with God. You don't have to follow a set formula of saying certain words.

What matters more is who you are praying to. Does your friend know Jesus?

I'm not clear from your message as to which language she speaks, so here is the same site in English:

Prayer: Our Father, deliver us from evil: Matthew 6:13.
Answer: We are delivered from the law: Romans 7:6.
What remaineth is global awareness the "law" is "evil".
Law is both good and evil, so don't do the Lord's Prayer,
for there's leaven(law) in it, and the P.S. is a law gotcha.

Best prayer is "help", prayed to "the throne of grace",
where only mercy is obtainable & only help available,
not both mercy & sacrifice nor both help & hindrance,
as is noted for us in Hebrews 4:16. And the reason is:

Law: I will forsake you: Jeremiah 23:39
Grace: I will never forsake you: Hebrews 13:5

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus Christ with you all. Amen.

Prayer is a spiritual event.

"language" is a physical concept.

As God hears all sincere prayer, there's certainly no formal requirements as to how one is supposed to start and end it.

Pray with a sincere heart.

tell her that there is no specific way to pray, all you gotta do, is get on your knees, to show your humbleness, put your hands together, and talk to God. The way everyone prays is different, because praying is a special bond between you and god, not anyone else.

the "Lord's Prayer " is in the Old Testament as is the beginning of all religions. Trust in one HOLY GOD! That is most important.

You can start by saying "Father, I come to you and pray about .................... ". When done, say "and I pray this in the Name of Jesus." Prayer is a conversation with God. And if we listen, He will talk to us.
