Atithi Devo bhavah

Answer 1

Answer:

Atithi Devo Bhava, also spelled Atithidevo Bhava {Sanskrit: अतिथिदेवो भव, English transliteration: The guest is god), prescribes a dynamic of the host–guest relationship which embodies the traditional Indian Hindu-Buddhist philosophy of revering guests with same respect as god. This concept of going out of the way to treat guests with reverence goes even beyond the traditional Nepal Hindu-Buddhist common greeting of namaste (I bow to the divinity in you) used for every one.

The mantras are from the Taittiriya Upanishad, Shikshavalli I.11.2 that says: matrudevo bhava, pitrudevo bhava, acharyadevo bhava, atithidevo bhava. It literally means "be one for whom the Mother is God, be one for whom the Father is God, be one for whom the Teacher is God, be one for whom the guest is God." matrudevah, pitrudevah, acharyadevah, atithidevah are one word each, and each one is a Bahuvrihi samasta-pada.
