Namaste

When I started Yoga, I have always wondered what is the meaning behind pressing of the hand together at the heart before and after classes and saying "Namaste". Curiosity led me to search for the meaning of "Nameste" and why put the hands together. Read it in a couple of sites that the meaning of pressing of hands together at the heart is to remember the gift of our life and also as a respect for each other's at soul and how we are all connected as one in this world.

Simply put, "Namaste" intimates the following:

'The God in me greets the God in you
The Spirit in me meets the same Spirit in you'

In other words, it recognizes the equality of all, and pays honor to the sacredness of all. It is pronouced as "Namastay".

So when we say "Nameste" next round, remember and treasure the gift of life God has blessed you and to respect every individual on earth....
