Namaste.

 

In Sanskrit, namaste means “I bow to you” - my greetings and salutations. The word ‘namaha’ can also be literally interpreted as "na ma" (not mine). It has a spiritual significance of negating or reducing one's ego in the presence of another.

 

How to Namaste:

Bend the arms from the elbow upwards and face the two palms of the hands. Place the two palms together and keep the folded palms in front of the chest connecting your thumbs to your heart center. Utter the word namaste and while saying the word bow the head slightly.
