Aloha - Namaste in Hawaiian & A pono pono!

 Aloha - I acknowledge the Love, Light and Life in You! 


The word is found in all Polynesian languages and always with the same basic meaning of "love, compassion, sympathy, kindness", although the use in Hawaii has a seriousness lacking in the Tahitian and Samoan meanings.


A pono pono!  In life, pono stands for righteousness and balance. In Hawaiian, if a person is living pono, it means that they have struck the right balance in their relationships with other things, places, and people in their lives

They call it “the decalogue for a spirituality of nonviolence”. 1.       To renounce dualism, the “we-they” mentality and (Manichaeism ).
