Namaskar Beeber 🙏,
There is a famous Yoga routine called the Surya (Sun) Namaskar and it has been used in many other ancient text along with Namaste. But Namaste got much more famous both in India and outside India.
Namaste 🙏

Ah I know this as "Sonnengruß" (greeting to the sun) and always wondered why there is no second one, a greeting to the moon.
But moon maybe not so important in the traditions of Yoga?
Moon has its place in our culture as well. There is a moon God as well. Although I have heard of greetings to moon, there might be one and I am no expert in Yoga. But most people only think Yoga is just physical exercise involving stretching and twisting your body in weird positions... that is only a small part of Yoga and most of it is about mediatation, improving mental fitness and detaching yourself from the physical form. This more physical (or active) part is associated with Sun and the other subtle balances and energies are associated with Moon.
We even have a Lunisolar (considering both moon and sun cycles) calendar.
Heard about Yoga is much more. Just was wondering a sun greet for the morning and a moon greet for the Eving would exist
