Namaste

"Namaste" is a conventional Hindu expression upon meeting or parting a person or persons used generally by the speaker usually while holding the palms together vertically in front of the bosom. This expression I would have never known if not for the comments left by Nancy Jones.

It usually brings a smile to most people from India. Not all persons from that country speak Hindi (the official language), but nearly all of them accept it as an all-purpose greeting or well-wishing.
