NAMASKAR VS HANDSHAKE






·         While visiting places of worship and viewing the Deities or after meeting a elderly or a respected person our hands are automatically joined together in Namaskar. Namaskar is a sattva predominant impression on the Hindu mind, an action that maintains the rich heritage of Hindu culture. Namaskar is a simple and beautiful act of expression of divine qualities like devotion, love, respect and humility that endows one with Divine energy.
Nowadays, perhaps due to ignorance about the Science of Spirituality or the increasing influence of the western culture, many people shake hands.

  • Highest transfer of bacteria: Handshake
  • Lowest transfer of bacteria: Fist bump (high five was in the middle)
  • Difference: Fist bump less than 10% of bacteria transmitted compared to the handshake
  • Explanation: handshakes have the greatest surface area in contact, for a longer time
  • Zero with namaskar.
  • Lets have a namaskar day every day.Any thing related to Hindu or Indian culture is not bad.
