Rishi Sapiens

No Yoga class is complete without a Namaste' being uttered in reverence, with 

• hands in prayer position, 

• and a slight bow towards the object of our attention.

Deification

Reverential attention, or deification, creates a deep neuropsychological process within, and is the mystical seed of the conscious Being that could come into being within the psyche.

So be careful what you worship.

In Sanskrit :

• Nāma (naama) literally means the English word Name, 

• the sibilant 's' is the filler sound,

• Te' means to you.

Thus anyone who says Nāma-s-te' worships the named outer form - no wonder the fixation on beautiful bodies in modern Yoga studios.

However, by pronouncing it correctly as 

• Nama it indicates the inner spirit, not the outer form,

so by uttering Namaste' to someone we are reminding them of their divine inner consciousness, to inspire them on the path of evolution, the beautiful body indeed necessary, but integrated with a charged up spirit.

Spiritualized approach

A spiritualized approach to life is the mindset that we are each possess a certain core spirit, and likely some other spirits, then it is easier to : 

• go beyond the individual form that bothers us,

• and look at the spirit within the other, 

• and how it interacts with ours.

This is essentially why the Yoga Namaste'.

Not Spirituality

Spiritual-ity, where the -ity makes it an ideology like in Christian-ity, or for that matter any -ism, wherein the spirit behind the original idea is fossilized to conform to a particular thought at a particular point in time.

A fossilized spirit is of course an oxymoron, because spirit can never be dead, as we consider it the source of life itself - a kind of life that has a certain kind of evolutionary purpose.

So in this site we are changing all such nomenclature right now.
