In general Namaste means, “Greetings” or “Hello” or “How are you”. It is just a way of greeting people. However, technically speaking, Namaste is made up of two words, Namaha + Te. Namaha means ‘I bow’. Te means ‘You’. Hinduism teaches us that God is sitting inside us, that is your soul or Atman. Namaste means I see divine in you and bow to you.
