    what is Namaste, one might ask... well, I thought the same:




    "Here are some insights into Namaste from a number of Hindu(s):

    o Namaste elevates one's consciousness, reminding one that all
    beings, all existence is holy, is the Almighty. It
    communicates, "I honor or worship the Divinity within you."
    Also it draws the individual inward for a moment, inspires
    reflection on the deeper realities, softening the interface
    between people. It would be difficult or offend or feel
    animosity toward any one you greet as Paramatma.

    o Namaste is a gesture of friendship and kindness, also of
    thanks or special recognition. Mystically it is called
    "Namaskara Mudra" in the Agami(c) Pooja, and it centers one's
    energy within the spine.

    o I've heard it means "I salute the Almighty within you." The
    true Namaste gesture is is accompanied by bowing the head and
    shoulders slightly. This is a gesture that lessens our sense
    of ego and self-centeredness, requiring some humility to do it
    well -- whereas shaking hands can be quite an arrogant event.

    o Touching the hands together puts you in touch with your
    center, your soul. namaste puts you forward as a soul, not an
    outer personality.

    o The gesture has a subtle effect on the aura and nerve system.
    bringing focused attention and a collection of one's forces,
    so to speak. It also protects against unnecessary psychic
    connections which are fostered by shaking hands. This might be
    called a form of purity also -- protecting one's energies. "


    ok... still confused. Stripping related discussion how?

    When I do AM/PM yoga dvd the instructors will go into a pose with prayer hands and say Namaste. They do it several times during the workout.

    Hell Yeah Seraya!!!! You'll love the class!!!
    I got a great book, "HOT YOGA", that I use to work out with at home. It's great because you can really read into what you're supposed to be doing in order to complete the posture correctly. Good Luck Babe!

    Oh boy.. Desis? Are you referring to the site RateDesi?

    At any rate.. This should be posted (if anywhere) in the General Board.

    I think it's some picture-rating type-site, Seraya. I just remember seeing it on someone's siggy.

    Checked it out the other night.. Seems.. er.. interesting.

    A Desi is an Indian or Pakistani who was either born or grew up in the Western world.

    Wow...What a jewel...A Hottie Desi Stripper that can speak hindi!!
    It's about time we desis stopped being so sexually repressed and conservative.

    Too bad in my neck of the woods (Boston) we dont have any treasures like you.

    What sort of reaction do you get when people ask your ethnic background (esp from other indians)? Supportive?

    Take care,

    p.s. Love the Pooja logo!

    actually i dont tell people im indian... unless thats what they are looking for. with desi guys, be it bangali, pakistani, indian, ect., i don't tell them i'm desi, either. i don't want hassles just in case u run into them at the mandir, bhangra party, cousin's wedding, ect. we are such a gossipy close knit community that word gets out that so & so's beti is stripping. *uff!*

    and paki guys, they will not sit w/ u if ur desi. and if they suspect that u r desi, then they try to chastise u & say that u should have sharam (shame).

    whateva. i just tell people that i'm from peru.

    Just tell your customers that you'll mutilate their ballsacks if they ask too many questions.
