About Namaste 111

Picture
Namaste is a traditional Hindu greeting and farewell showing profound respect and humility. The word Namaste literally translates as ‘I bow to you’. We generally see it’s meaning described along the lines of “the spirit in me recognizes and honors the spirit in you.” While some commentators express concern at how these interpretations may be perceived, we believe the core message they are trying to convey is correct and aligned with the intent of the greeting - to show deference to the other person, to disconnect from ego and connect to our deepest divine or spiritual self. In essence to recognise that we are all a part of the One Divine Consciousness, that ultimately we are all one of the same.

It is natural that we care most passionately about the things that we feel most connected to. So when we seek answers to the pressing problems facing our world on a global scale today we need to feel connected to humanity as a whole and to our planet as a whole, so that the solutions we create are beneficial and sustainable to all.

Why, in the 21st century, do we have such violence, crime, corruption, greed, poverty, homelessness, hunger and war? We have advanced so rapidly in so many ways and yet the world is full of alarming and ever increasing amounts of suffering. It is so easy to feel overwhelmed by the magnitude of the wrongs in the world and just end up doing nothing. Where would you start anyway right? Like all positive and expansive things, it must start with you.

Imagine if every time you interact with someone from now on (whether in person or remotely) you start and finish the interaction by centring yourself in your heart and silently sending him or her a Namaste greeting. This silent releasing of ego and recognition and acknowledgment of your oneness with the people you are meeting at the beginning of the interaction will raise the energy of the meeting and help to guide it towards more positive and powerful outcomes, and at its close will help everyone leave on a positive note. Even better, when you can, invite everyone involved in the meeting to participate in this practise.
