Namaste

an ancient sanskrit greeting still in everyday use in india and especially on the trail in the nepal himalaya. translated roughly, it means “i bow to the g-d within you”, or “the spirit within me salutes the spirit in you” – a knowing that we are all made from the same one divine consciousness.
the more formal greeting sanskrit namascar pr-nounced nah-mah-scar is also used in india, though less frequently in nepal. the hindi “jai bhagwan” is also in common use, and carries the same meaning.
a really slacker way of saying “nah, i’m gonna stay”.
1: yo, you gonna come with us to tony’s afterparty?

2: namaste.
an honorable greeting. . . “my spirit honors yours”
namaste, brightlight!. . . namaste, sunshine!
a greeting/saying in hindi which translates to: i honor the place in you where the entire universe resides, i honor the place in you where the entire universe resides, i honor the place in you of light, of love, of truth, of peace, i honor the place in you where if you and i are in that place then there is only one of us?

(yeah, that one word means a whole lot, but it’s a great saying none the less)
namaste my friend. namaste
the parting words of the clueless new age trust fund baby.
“well, i should probably get going.” “ok, then! namaste!”
a term popularized by stoner hippies usually said while high. it basically means that they honor your spirit.
1: i’m trippin’ b-lls man!

2: namaste bro, namaste.
namaste was originally intended as a respectful greeting to g-d, the great guru within. it is often used today as a greeting to other people – either friends or strangers.

namaskar (and its related street term, skar) is always used in the second sense.
“namaste, my beloved guru…”
