Eileen,
Simply admire the affable way you’ve interpreted the Indian greeting, ‘Namaste’.
The reason why we fold our hands while offering ‘Namaste’ here in India is that we consider visitors or guests as the very face of God.
The mantras are from the Taittiriya Upanishad, Shikshavalli I.11.2 that says: matrudevo bhava, pitrudevo bhava, acharyadevo bhava, atithidevo bhava. It literally means “be one for whom the Mother is God, be one for whom the Father is God, be one for whom the Teacher is God, be one for whom the guest is God.”
Keep Shining …

Rajat,
Thank you! I feel a certain connection when I fold my hands in prayer and say the word “Namaste” with intention to connect heart to heart with the other person, universally.
I appreciate your sharing the India mantra. Beautiful!
Cheers! Namaste…
