Ask Osho!

How are we to salute you?

Synthesized from Source practice

"The true salute is an inward bow; when the heart beats in reverence and stillness, that is the real greeting."

Core Insight:
According to Osho, the true salute is an inward bow: when the hand rests on the heart—or even when only the feeling reaches the heart—the salaam is complete. External forms (pranam or salaam) are secondary; what matters is a silent, loving presence. Words and gestures fail; let the heart beat in reverence and stillness—that is the real greeting.
Just put your heart into it—whether or not you move your hand—because the real salute is the loving feeling inside.
Why this matters practically
- Shifts attention from ritual to sincerity, easing anxiety about doing it “right.”
- Trains you to meet life and people with heartful silence and presence.
- Transcends labels (pranam/salaam), encouraging unity and inclusivity.
