The great indian traditional way to greet someone or showing a lots of respects towards the person by joining your both hands togather with straightning the fingers and also join palm to palm and say
'' NAMASTE ''
What does really mean of NAMASTE.. ??
NAMASKAR is made of three words:
NAMAH + OM + KAR = NAMASKAR
NAMAH literally translated means NOT ME. It is a negation of one's identity and hence of one's ego or arrogance.
OM is the sound of life. It is believed that to begin with there was only the sound of OM and the whole world evolved from it. OM is used often in meditation. The whole cosmos is summed up in word OM.
KAR means shape/form of or manifestation of. OMKAR hence means manifestation of OM. OMKAR means the whole of UNIVERSE / COSMOS. The totality of the Universe is like a System taken as a whole without dividing it into divisions and sub-divisions. OMKAR can be called by various names such as BRAHMA, SHIVA etc. In a way, OMKAR is similar but not identical to GOD. OMKAR is omnipresent and omnipotent. Though OMKAR may take a human form but OMKAR is not necessarily human.
