"Namaste, Namaskara or Namaskaram is a common spoken greeting or salutation in the South Asia. It is derived from Hinduism, and used in India and Nepal it has multi-religious or else common usage where it may simply mean "I bow to you." In religious formulation, the meaning can be explained as:

* "I bow to that inherent in you" ("That" refers to divinity, or that which is divine.)
* "I respect divinity within you that is also within me."
* "The light within me honors the light within you." (in yoga)"

The above's taken from Wikipaedia.

Namaste to you too joyseeker.
