"Namaste" holds significant importance in Nattika, echoing the deep-rooted cultural values and traditions that permeate the atmosphere of hospitality and well-being
The word "namaste" is derived from Sanskrit and means "bowing down to you." It represents the idea that the divinity within oneself is bowing down to the divinity within others. When we perform the Anjali or Pranava mudra with our hands in front of our hearts, we can experience the love, joy, inner peace, and inner light that exist in every soul.
In yoga, we often repeat these mudras to represent the balance and harmony between the right and left energy (known as Ida and Pingala energy) united in our center. Namaste aims to bring balance and calm to the mind and body. The pressure points in the fingers that are activated during the gesture are linked to different areas of the brain and can help balance and focus the mind, promoting a sense of calm and well-being.
When we hold hands in front of the heart, the Anahata chakra is stimulated. It is the fourth primary chakra, which serves as our center of love for oneself and others, compassion, empathy, and forgiveness. It is the source of something profound further that cannot be expressed in words.
At the Nattika Beach Ayurveda Resort, guests experience the gesture of Namaste everywhere. From the airport chauffeur to the welcome hosts at reception and the entire team, everyone greets the guests with Namaste, accompanied by a gentle smile and a bowed head. "Namaste" is more than just a greeting; it's a gesture of profound respect and reverence towards others. By greeting guests with "Namaste," Nattika acknowledges the inherent divinity within each individual, irrespective of background or status.
During their stay in Nattika guests may experience the wind, trees, waves, flowers, and butterflies chanting the mantra Namaste, illustrating how deeply Namaste is involved in Nattika. Contact Nattika beach resort to learn more.
