Who is John Kerry aping in his own phony way? The Dalai Lama and others who are genuine Buddhists and Hindus. Nuancey boy, New Age pacifist jerks, yellow bracelet wearers like Kerry make themselves look stupid. This greeting is called namaste
What's the problem with the yellow bracelet?.......
When will he be taking it off? You really think he gives a crap about Lance Armstrong's cancer cure efforts? It's as phony as his namaste bowing
For, Hindu(s), the greeting of choice is "Namaste," the two hands pressed together and held near the heart with the head gently bowed as one says, "Namaste." Thus it is both a spoken greeting and a gesture, a Mantr(a) and a Mudr(a). The prayerful hand position is a Mudr(a) called Anjali, from the root Anj, "to adorn, honor, celebrate or anoint." The hands held in union signify the oneness of an apparently dual cosmos, the bringing together of spirit and matter, or the self meeting the Self. It has been said that the right hand represents the higher nature or that which is divine in us, while the left hand represents the lower, worldly nature.
The God in me greets the God in you
The Spirit in me meets the same Spirit in you'
In other words, it recognizes the equality of all, and pays honor to the sacredness of all.
Nice job! I think there's even more photos of him giving the bolshevic clenched fist salute.
Namaste Means:
"The Great Perfection within me honors the Great Perfection within you".
Do You Know the Way to Namaste?

It has a spiritual significance of negating or reducing one's ego in the presence of another.
The real meeting between people is the meeting of their minds. When we greet another, we do so with namaste, which means, "may our minds meet," indicated by the folded palms placed before the chest.
He's hiding the Lady Macbeth blood on his hands.
Out damned spot...
Nope, you're guilty.

bump
He was to valuable to fall under "freindly fire"...
Anyone want to submit a Brenner pic in this pose?
This fakey, new-agey, pacifist greeting is one of the most irritating, false gestures of Kerry, along with his out-of-body hand gestrues during the debates, he is truly NOT COMFORTABLE WITH WHO HE IS, even in his own body.
Is he Catholic or Buddhist ? American or French ? War hero or War criminal ?
This kind of man is dangerous to lead any kind of organization.
Uh...what is that...or do I really want to know?
One the upside....in less than a month from now we will no longer be seeing him or his horse face in the news.
On the downside....how will we amuse ourselves....no Johns...no Tareeezzzzzaaa....the sheer amount of material is astounding!!!
You can only imagine.
I am no fan of Kerry, but I have to say, the yellow bracelet has nothing to do with religion. It is a Lance Armstrong bracelet...you pay a dollar for it and it goes to his Cancer Foundation. I have cancer and I wear it daily...
Remember, he was a choir boy.
I forgot this one. His New Agey namaste posing is beyond me. It's goofy. I think the guy is a space cadet. Not grounded. That's why he has no trouble lashing out at George Bush. He is amoral, has no restraint, has no conscience when it comes to politics
