If you could design a holiday, what would it be?

Namaste Day!   What could be better than a universal day where all thoughts were based on honoring the goodness, beauty, love, truth that is within each of us?
 
No gifts, no hallmark card s or flowers, no money spent, no guilt for not calling someone -just simple honor for every person we come in contact with. 


Namaste

I would encourage people to celebrate Namaste Day in place of holiday they feel has lost its true essence.  The holidays that have become commercialized and oversensationalized.  Christmas, Easter, Mother's day, Father's Day, New Years Day..... 



The ritual?  Saying "namaste" and understanding it's essence of meaning:


"I honor the Spirit in you which is also in me".

"I honor the place in you in which the entire Universe dwells,

"I honor the place in you which is of Love, of Truth, of Light and of Peace, When you are in that place in you, and I am in that place in me, we are One."

"I salute the God within you."

"I recognize that we are all equal."

"The entire universe resides within you."

"The divine light in me salutes the divine light in you."

"Your spirit and my spirit are ONE."
