Namaste नमस्ते

NAMASTE
नमस्ते


Namaste is the yoga of shared presence in awareness.
It is when individuals acknowledge and honor the presence of  awareness in one another.

Buddhists recognize this deeper meaning of Namaste in the Anjali Mudra, signifying pure and total presence in awareness. Simply viewing this mudra will evoke awakened awareness in the receptive observer.

In the enactment of Namaste the gesture of the hands (mudra), the intonation of Namaste (mantra) and the praxis of awareness (Atiyoga) are integrated in the awakened awareness of presence that is a shared moment of pure being.

The significance of Namaste is that when recognition manifests recognition, two seemingly separate individuals are united in the conscious oneness of total presence.

In this yoga there is also a realization of the oneness of all conscious life and individuals sustaining this awareness transmit it to everyone they encounter. Receptive individuals are often introduced to total presence though this direct transmission.

May all beings awaken to the blissful awareness of pure and total presence!

Awakened Presence




The portal to the path that is the goal

Is always 現在

It is right now, in this present moment!

You will not find it by searching

You find pure presence in a moment

Without distraction

And there it is

The utter perfection of

Pure and total  presence

Suchness

You have found a portal of presence
