▼ The meaning of namaste

Namaste [na-ma-ste] is composed of several Indian sounds: "Nama" means bow, "as" means me and "te" means you. So, Namaste means "you and I bow to each other" or "I bow to you".

▼Namaste's gesture

Gesture 1: put your hand on your chest, close your eyes and nod your head;

Gesture 2: You can also put your hands on the eyebrows, nod your head, and then hold your chest with your hands.

▼ Indian namaste

When Indians say Namaste thanks, they put their hands together, look at each other, bow to welcome each other, and say to themselves, "The most precious sacred Buddha nature in my heart pays tribute to the supreme sacred Buddha nature in your heart." At this time, the two sides wholeheartedly respected each other and respected each other. Now it is a family, and now it is a family. There is no opposition and division.

▼ the difference between ▼Namaste and Namaskar

Both words are preceded by Nama, which means to bow and show respect.

AsTe, which means "existence, not me" in Sanskrit, is me, and Te is you. So Namaste means "I bow to you", and there is a bigger meaning "I bow to existence".

Ashcar refers to the source of all appearances, exhibitions and created things, that is, the absolute consciousness of existence is created. Namaskar means "I bow to absolute consciousness".

Usage of namaste and Namaskar

From the differences behind these two words, Namaskar is obviously more expressive than Namaste. Therefore, in general usage, Namaste is more routine and universal, while Namaskar is used in more formal and solemn moments and occasions.
