The word Namaste πŸ™πŸ»πŸ™πŸ» is a combination of the two Sanskrit words: Namah and te. Basically, namah means "to bow" and te means "you." The Namaste salutation was transmitted from ancient India to the countries of South-east Asia, and has now traveled virtually all over the globe. In Japan the Namaste hand gesture is called Gassho and is used in prayer and healing sessions. 
πŸ•‰ The spiritual meaning of namaste is deeper. The word Namah brings downs all your egos when you are among others. Namaste suggests that the person extends the friendship in humility. "The Divine light within me recognises and honors the Divine Light within you. Or, The light and divinity within me bows to the light and divinity within you and all around you, always."
πŸ•‰ Namaste means Namah+Stute. It means in Hindi "Main tujh me stuti karne yogya vastu ko naman karta hun" It means in english " I bow to that thing in you which is worth praying and that is glimpse of god within you ."
πŸ•‰ NAMASKAR means: Namah +Sanskar. It means in Hindi ," Main tujh me jo achhe sanskar hai usko naman karta hun". It means in English "I bow to good (godly) qualities within you."
πŸ•‰ It recognises the belief that the life force, the divinity, the Self or the God in me is the same in all. Acknowledging this oneness with the meeting of the palms, we honour the god in the person we meet. During prayers, hindus not only do namaste but also bow and close their eyes, as it were, to look into the inner spirit. This physical gesture is sometimes accompanied by names of gods like ‘Ram Ram’, ‘Jai Shri Krishna’, ‘Namo Narayana’, ‘Jai Siya Ram’ or just ‘Om Shanti’ – the common refrain in Hindu chants. This is also quite common when two devout Hindus meet - indicating the recognition of the divinity within ourselves and extending a warm welcome to each other.
