Answer 6

NAMASKAR is made of three words:

NAM + AS + KAR = NAMASKAR

NAM is the root form of NAMAH and has the same meaning as NAMAH - NOT ME.

AS means "To Be" or "To Exist". Another word derived from the same root is Astitva which means existence.

KAR means doer or one who makes or creates. For example, KAR can be seen in the words Kalakar, Chitrakar, Karmkar, Charmkar. In the above words, the suffix kar leads to the meaning of one who creates art or painting or work or leather.

ASKAR would hence mean the the creator of all that exists or the one who causes the property of being or existence.
