Namaste

Namaste (/ˈnɑːməsteɪ/, Devanagari: नमस्ते, hindski izgovor: [nəməsteː] ( poslušajte)), nekada izgovaran kao Namaskar ili Namaskaram, je uobičajeno hinduski pozdrav. U današnje vrijeme se koristi na Indijskom podkontinentu, Jugoistočnoj Aziji i među hinduskom dijasporom širom svijeta. Koristi i za pozdrav pri dolasku i odlasku.^[1]^[2] Namaste se obično izgovara uz blagi naklon i sklopljenim rukama, uz spojene dlanove i prste nagore, sa palčevima prema sebi. Gesta se zove i Añjali Mudrā ili Pranamasana.^[3]

U hinduizmu označava "Poklanjam se božanskom u tebi".^[4]^[5]^[6] Namaste se također može izgovarati bez geste ili gesta izvoditi bez riječi.
