đWhy Namaste or Namaskarđ?
It is not about any religion or culture but more scientific.
The moment you place your hands together, your dualities, your likes and dislikes, your cravings and aversions, are all leveled out. Heâs good, sheâs not good, someone is beautiful, oh this one ugly - all these judgments fall away when you bring both hands together and say Namaste. You neutralize your energy, your thought waves within you and the other that you are saying Namaste.

Scientifically also, your palms have a lot of nerve endings â something that medical science has discovered today. Actually, your hands speak more than your tongue and your voice. There is a whole science of mudra with hands in Yoga. Just by holding your hand in certain ways, you can make your whole system function differently.
There is a certain oneness to the expression of who you are. The energies are functioning as one.

Namaskar or Namaste used in North India where as in South India they say Namaskaram - all mean the same. And, it is not just a cultural aspect. There is a science behind it. If you are doing your sadhana (spiritual practices), every time you bring your palms together, there is a crackle of energy â a boom is happening. On the level of your life energy, there is a giving, or you are making yourself into an offering to the other person. In that giving, you will make the other being into a life that will cooperate with you.
Only if you are in a state of giving, things around will work out for you. This is so for every life. Only if it gets the cooperation of all life around itself, then the life is a celebration for you and everyone around you. đ
