(11)Because Namaste isn’t etiquette. It’s essence. It’s humility in motion. It’s India - in a single word. 🇮🇳 Namaste🙏...ends

(10)Namaste doesn’t ask how your day is. It honors who you are.😇 It doesn’t skim the surface - it greets the soul. In a world obsessed with being seen, Namaste reminds us to https://t.co/hQehdTJXT9 see the divine not above us, but across from us.

(9)Yet, sometimes, I miss saying Namaste. Because in one word and one gesture, it restores something sacred that modern life quietly erodes - reverence(9)

(8)And yes, modern corporate India has taken to English like fish to water. We say hello, we nod, we shake hands, we sign off with best regards. It’s efficient, but transactional(8)

(7)Hinduism, after all, is a way of life. A recognition that spirituality is shared energy, not possession.Namaste is that recognition in action - a spiritual handshake, invisible but deeply felt(7)

(6)This is the essence of Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam - the ancient Hindu Vedic idea that the world is one family. Namaste carries that worldview in its syllables. It holds the openness of Indian civilization - not merely tolerant but embracing, not doctrinal but universal(6)

(5)And the gesture completes the philosophy. Folded hands near the heart. A slight bow at the waist. The body itself participates in the belief. It says: I come to you without ego, without weapon, without agenda.

(4)When we say Namaste, we bow not down, but toward. It doesn’t matter who you are - elder or child, CEO or cleaner, saint or skeptic - in that moment, hierarchy disappears. Two people meet as equals, each acknowledging the other’s higher self(4)

(3)It’s humility: not the meek kind, but the radiant kind. The altitude of grace, if grace had a height (3)

(2)But Namaste is not a greeting. It’s philosophy disguised as a hello. In Sanskrit, Namah means “to bow,” and Te means “to you.” Literally: I bow to you. But spiritually, it means the divine in me bows before the divine in you.

From the Desk of one Indic RevolutioNari: In English, we say Hi, how are you? In Spanish, Qué tal? In Japanese, Konnichiwa. All greetings, all gestures of politeness - bridges of civility(1)

#Mumbai #PigeonMatters 13 new spots for New Kabutakhanas in City. Setting up #Kabutarkhanas seems to be top priority. Maybe very soon a #LadkiKabutarYojana with pigeon feeders receiving money in their accounts may come up. BTW is Diamond Garden Chembur a isolated area?
