A deep spiritual greeting when meeting and departing from others.
Sanskrit, pronounced "Nah-mah-skar".
It is usually said with an accompanying action - holding the palms of the hand flat together and touching the thumbs first to the "third eye" area between the eyebrows and then touching the thumbs to the heart.
It means "With all the depths and charms of my mind and all the love and cordiality of my heart, the divinity within me greets the divinity within you". This meaning is the ideation kept in mind when givning the greeting.
Related to namaste, which is often used in the same way, but which was originally intended as a respectful greeting to God alone. Namaskar, on the other hand, is always used as a greeting to other people - eiher friends or strangers.
Street version: skar.

Get the Namak haram mug.A very pretty, silly, intelligent, wise girl that's always there to help ANYONE! Nadya's tend to have super sexy hair and legs
They are really into rock music, and tend to dress uniquely: like combination of a boho hipster.
They don't really listen to mainstream music and are really aware of the environment!
Nadya's don't get butt hurt at all but there are some things that she does not tolerate, like bull shit. They are fun to mess around with and be with. Even though they are very down to earth and open minded, they don't really care what other people think about them.
Everyone secretly loves her whether they show it or not.

Get the naiya mug.An absolutely awesome person whom everybody loves. Is intelligent, pretty, and funny. She also tends to enjoy making random videos. She is one of those people who is into rock music and also some pop and alternative. She hates romantic movies and all of that lovey dovey stuff. If you ever meet a Nadya, better to take her to a comedy or an action/adventure movie. An incredibly great and cool person all around.

Get the Nadya mug.Ai! laurië lantar lassi súrinen,
yéni únótimë ve rámar aldaron!
Yéni ve lintë yuldar avánier
mi oromardi lisse-miruvóreva
Andúnë pella, Vardo tellumar
nu luini yassen tintilar i eleni
ómaryo airetári-lírinen.
Sí man i yulma nin enquantuva?
An sí Tintallë Varda Oiolossëo
ve fanyar máryat Elentári ortanë,
ar ilyë tier undulávë lumbulë;
ar sindanóriello caita mornië
i falmalinnar imbë met, ar hísië
untúpa Calaciryo míri oialë.
Sí vanwa ná, Rómello vanwa, Valimar!
Namárië! Nai hiruvalyë Valimar.
Nai elyë hiruva. Namárië!
