Consider it a greeting much as a handshake is a greeting, although in this case
it is a hand-to-hand over heart bow to you. The essence is that "I bow to the
divine in you," the highest pressed with the lowest in this moment encounter
where I recognize there is no other.

I think one of the best articles on this was published in Hinduism Today. A
copy can be found at either of the following places:

Namaste.
