    an ancient Sanskrit greeting still in everyday use in India and especially on the trail in the Nepal Himalaya. Translated roughly, it means I bow to the God within you, or The Spirit within me salutes the Spirit in you - a knowing that we are all made from the same One Divine Consciousness.

          A greeting/saying in hindi which translates to: I honor the place in you where the entire universe resides, I honor the place in you where the ENTIRE universe resides, I honor the place in you of light, of love, of truth, of peace, I honor the place in you where if you and I are in that place then there is only one of us?
          (Yeah, that one word means a whole lot, but its a great saying none the less)

            Namaste was originally intended as a respectful greeting to God, the Great Guru within. It is often used today as a greeting to other people - either friends or strangers.
            [Namaskar] (and its related street term, [skar]) is always used in the second sense.

                  नमस्ते Sanskrit = i bow you
                  the term holds no reference to deity or spirit,it is a respectful salutation
                  encourage all to look it up linguistically

                        Originally a respectful greeting from Hindu customs, it is now a pjorative used by English speaking Asians in reference to White backpackers in Southern and South East Asia.
                        A typical Namaste wears cargo shorts or elephant pants, has several Thai tattoos, [yellow fever], and practices Buddhism despite being raised Christian. They usually spend several weeks or a month in Thailand or other parts of Southeast Asia, then return to their country just to criticize all their [millennial] friends for lacking experience.
