TRIBAL DANCE SWORDS
 
 
As mentioned in the last newsletter, I was planning to run a Special Order for Tribal Dance Swords back in June / July 07, but that didn't work out due to supply problems and I was only able get a few sent out.  However I am pleased with the quality of the swords that I did get and happy to recommend them to you.
 
I will be stocking some of the Balady Scimitars (pictured below) in September / October, in time for those end of year performances.  (The Moorish Scimitars are still available but I need definite orders for those.)
These will be priced at  $120 ea + postage which will be approx $20 
 
If you are interested in one of these swords I have started a list of names and will be in contact with you when I have more information.

A common (to us) Arabic word

 

"Namaste"
we see this word used a lot but what does it actually mean
from Wikipedia

Namasté or Namaskar  in Nepali and Hindi (from internal sandhi between namah and te) is a South Asian greeting, which is used when both Hello and Goodbye would be used in English. The meaning can be quite different, however.

It is commonly accompanied by a slight bow made with the hands pressed together, palms touching, in front of the chest.

In a normal context this word is a respectful way of greeting someone. Generally done by younger (or in a hierarchy - underlings) to elders/higher-ups, although, the elders reply back in the same manner.

In context this word can be taken to mean any of these:

  • The Spirit in me meets the same Spirit in you.
  • I greet that place where you and I are one.
  • I salute the Light of life in you.
  • I receive the free spirit in you.
  • I recognize that within each of us is a place where peace dwells, and when we are in that place, we are One.
  • My energy salutes your energy.
  • The life in me sees and honors the life in you.
  • May the life within you be strong.
  • The light within me sees and honors the light within you.

In other words, it recognizes the equality of all, and pays honor to the sacredness and interconnection of all, as well as to the source of that interconnection. Namaskar is the term for such greetings, and is also used as a greeting itself.
