Namaste concept originated from the firm belief the soul is immortal and is indeed God.
What is Namaste?........
It is the popular Hindu greeting performed by pressing two hands together and holding them near the heart. The whole act communicates to the world
______________________________
“You and I are one. I salute and worship the God within you which is indeed a mirror image of myself.”
Namaste concept originated from the Hindu belief that the real I within all of us is the immortal soul or ATMAN which is indeed God and our problem is our EGO, the FALSE BELIEF that we are the perishable material body.
______________________________
Namaste is derived from the Sanskrit language and is a combination of two words, "Namaḥ" and "te". Namaḥ means 'bow', 'obeisance', 'reverential salutation' or 'adoration’, and te means 'to you.'..

Who or What is God?
1---God is NOT a man
2---God is NOT a woman
3----In fact, nobody knows what God is.
4--- When Moses met Jehovah on the mountain top, Moses asked the burning bush (Jehovah), WHO ARE YOU? And Jehovah God only said: ‘ I AM WHO I AM.”
5---Similarly, there is no word TRINITY in the Holy Bible. Trinitarian doctrine of (father, son and Holy Ghost) was adopted during the very first Christian meeting at Nicaea, Under the leadership of Roman Emperor Constantine during 325 CE
6------That is the reason why God is described as “it” in the Hindu scriptures.
Hindus believe in one and only God Brahman which expresses itself in trillions of forms and trillions of names.
7-----God or Brahman is described as “it” and is the infinite, eternal , indescribable, omniscient, pervasive, genderless, eternal truth, and bliss which does not change, yet is the cause of all changes.
8-------Brahman is not without any beginning nor any end.
9-------Upanishads describe Brahman as One and indivisible, eternal universal self, who is present in all.
10------BRAHMAN is described in two ways
11------SAGUNA BRAHMAN ----God with attributes
12-----NIRGUNA BRAHMAN ---God without attributes

I would like to share what I have read about karma. Karma is basically what we do ( physical karma ) ,what we talk ( speech karma ),what we think ( mental karma ). Every karma produces it's fruit. We are free to do karma but we are not free to choose it's fruits. Like if we sow soya,we are bound to get soya...we won't get mango even if we desire it. So,this is basically law of karma. From this law, the concept of reincarnation emanates. Our present life is result of our past karmas. This karma has three categories .
1 ) prarbdha karma : this results in our present life.
2 ) Sanchit karma : this is like godown/storehouse of past karmas from all of our past lives. This results in all our future lives
3 ) kriyaman karma : this is the karma which we are producing in this life through our thoughts, actions and speech.
We can exhaust our karma by realizing or receiving it's fruits. Once karma is done, it doesn't end till we receive it's fruit.
It can also be exhausted by self realization/God realization as karma exists only in duality...there is no karma in non duality...also strength/impact of karma can be reduced through self realized guru/master's grace or it can be transferred to someone else through his/her grace.
