Namaste: "Is used as a respectful form of greeting,
acknowledging and welcoming a relative, guest or stranger. It is used
with good byes as well. It is typically spoken and simultaneously
performed with palms touching gesture." Its an interesting word really, as mentioned above it has many meanings all of which lead to a spirituality that words from the English language really don't seem to have the same level of respect. Respect is of great import to cultures, clans and individuals for millennia. So?
