धीरे धीरे, हर गाँठ खुलती जाती है ; पर कुछ नई गांठें लगने में देर नहीं लगती !!
the prayers of folded hands say more than what many conceive ..
"The folded-hand gesture known as Namaskaar, Namaste, or Anjali Mudra is one of the oldest and most meaningful forms of greeting in the Indian cultural and spiritual tradition. The word Namaste comes from Sanskrit: “namah” meaning “bow” or “salutation,” and “te” meaning “to you.” Thus, it literally means, “I bow to you.”
Researchers and spiritual thinkers have interpreted the gesture in several ways. In Hindu philosophy, the joining of the two palms symbolizes the union of the individual self with the divine, or the meeting of mind and heart. Yogic traditions describe it as balancing the left and right hemispheres of the body and mind. In Buddhism and Jainism, the gesture reflects humility, peace, and respect for all living beings.
Anthropologists also note its social value: unlike a handshake, Namaskaar does not require physical contact, making it hygienic and universally respectful. During the COVID-19 pandemic, many world leaders adopted it as a safe greeting. The gesture is also found in temple sculptures, classical Indian dance, and ancient texts, showing its continuity across thousands of years.
More than a greeting, Namaskaar expresses reverence, equality, gratitude, and recognition of the sacred presence within another person."
