To a none speaker of the language Namaste is far easier to remember. It's meaning is like an English hand shake. The right arm can be offered prior to the two male (Female) friends even meeting and a few kind words of greeting can be offered prior to both profred hands touching.
Because it is more widely used as a form of salutation, even thou your meaning is clear regarding the addressing of the divine through Namaste, not the supreme consciousness within the human being as Namaskar does.
I believe it is a case of first in first out. I have only recently heard namaskar. So, namaste takes preference for me.
There is a piece of divinity in all of us. Why not acknowledge, and salute that? It seems to me a higher form of respect.
it's beutiful sound.
Because it is saluting the divinity within each of us.
As a yoga teacher we are taught to honor the divine in all.
it sounds reallyyyyyy cute
