Acquaintance with the (real) Meaning of Words:'NAMASTAE'

Acquaintance with the (real) Meaning of Words:


The meaning of 'NAMASTAE'

The commonly used gestures & greetings in the Sanatan/ Hindu system have evolved with o deep insight, not understood to its fullest at times, especially the city bound (majority) younger generation in India. One greeting being NAMASTAE - made up of (sandhi of two shabd)two words : NAMAHA - meaning: Naman or gesture of gratitude + TAE - meaning: Tum or to you. So, by extending Namastae, we are extending (divine) gratitude to the fellow BEINGS & even the BEINGS within the eternal NON-BEING !
