When I was young girl of 4 years whenever I used to greet someone I used to say--
" Namsate Namaste chole khao saste" , laugh and run away. Little did and knew then and know what Namaste really means ( I am sure many of us still dont---Shame)
In India & Nepal Namaste is a way of universal greeting which is offered to everyone. When one says Namaste it means " I give you light"
Namah + te = Namaste
Where ( Namah = The holy name of light" and Te = you)
Even for that matter when you say "Hello" it is also a form of saying "Halo".. which means giving light. So next when you say Hello or Namaste , you finally know you have been saying all these years

Question:
If the light inside is unholy, what would the greeting be???
I guess thats why most of the people keep saying " Hell --o" instead of Halo...
