Salute the Divinie with in Each of Us

Salute the Divine with in You

Namaste (/ˈnɑːməsteɪ/ NAH-məs-tay; Hindi: [nəməsteː] ( listen); Devanagari: नमस्ते; formal: Namaskar/Namaskaram) is a common spoken valediction or salutation originating from the Hindus in the Indian Subcontinent. It is a customary greeting when individuals meet, and a valediction upon their parting. A non-contact form of salutation is traditionally preferred in India and Nepal; Namaste is the most common form of such a salutation.

When spoken to another person, it is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with hands pressed together, palms touching and fingers pointed upwards, in front of the chest. This gesture, called Añjali Mudrā or Pranamasana, can also be performed wordlessly and carries the same meaning.
The gesture Namaste represents the belief that there is a Divine spark within each of us that is located in the heart chakra. The gesture is an acknowledgment of the soul in one by the soul in another.[citation needed] In Sanskrit the word is namah + te = namaste (Devanagari/Hindi: नमः + ते = नमस्ते), which means “I bow to you” – my greetings, salutations or prostration to you.

Namaskār (Devanagari/Hindi: नमस्कार) literally means “I bow to [your] form”.
“Atma Namaste” This phrase addresses the” higher” soul of the person: “To the higher Soul “, I honor the place within you where the universe resides. I honor the place with in you of love, light, and truth. When you are in that place and I am in that place we are One. This practice starts with you placing your hands in the prayer position on your heart. Gaze above the head of another person, 6 to 8 inches, and say Atma, Namaste. Then, look into their eyes (you may also look into your own eyes in a mirror). Really look, and wait. See what comes back to you. Do you fall in love? This is an intense practice; do not reserve it for a few. Atma Namaste! “Atma” means Soul in Sanskrit. “Namaste” – I Salute the Divinity in you, I Salute the Atma in you, I Salute the “I Am” Presence with within you!
