"Namaste" is a traditional greeting in India and other parts of South Asia. It is derived from the Sanskrit words "namah," meaning "bow," and "te," meaning "to you." The gesture typically involves placing the palms together in front of the chest and bowing slightly, symbolizing respect and acknowledgment of the other person. In addition to being a greeting, "Namaste" conveys a deeper spiritual meaning, recognizing the divine presence in each individual. It is commonly used in yoga practices and spiritual contexts, promoting a sense of unity and connection among people.
