June 22 2008, "A True Religious Pluralism" with Cyndi Simpson

Simply put, namaste intimates the following:

'The divinity in me greets the divinity in you
The divinity in me meets the same divinity in you'

In other words, it recognizes the equality of all, and pays honor to the sacredness of all.

GarudaTranslated into a bodily act, namaste is deeply rich in symbolism. Firstly the proper performance of namaste requires that we blend the five fingers of the left hand exactly with the fingers of the right hand. The significance behind this simple act in fact governs the entire gamut of our active life. The five fingers of the left hand represent the five senses of karma, and those of the right hand the five organs of knowledge. Hence it signifies that our karma or action must be in harmony, and governed by rightful knowledge, prompting us to think and act correctly.

By combining the five fingers of each hand, a total of ten is achieved. The number ten is a symbol of perfection, and the mystical number of completion and unity. It is true for all ancient traditions. Ten is the number of the Commandments revealed to Moses by God. In the Pythagorean system, ten was a symbol of the whole of creation. Ancient Chinese thought too thought of ten as the perfectly balanced number.  Source: http://www.exoticindiaart.com/article/namaste/
