Namaste is the traditional way of greetings in Nepal. The action of joining the palms of both hands together in front of chest (over the heart): symbolizes, “I recognize the God in You”- It is the philosophy of oneness(I and you are one in mind and heart), and opens our hearts to spread love, peace, bliss and the ability to show how we can help and server each other. Everyone can say Namaste. Practice of Namaste with clear intentions helps to develop faith in Ahimsa (non-violence). Ahimsa paromo Dharma – Non- Violence is the greatest Dharma.
