We have nothing worthy of offering to you, but our respect.

Fully agree with Sarabhanga. There can be nothing wrong in saying "God bless U" to anyone, even a Siddha. There is no personal notion in this good wish.Originally Posted by sarabhanga
If someone gets offended with such saying, it merely reveals his ego and lack of intelligence.

Arjuna,I think that it is always better to follow the traditions.Even if that "someone" will not get offended,other people who hear me could consider inappropriate my behavior.I decided that I will never say phrase like "May God bless you" to an hindu older than me.

Well, this is already up to U, what to do or say. According to Dharma there is nothing wrong in saying this. But there is no prescription to say this as well

All of us have the best intent for wishing well to others. It is the quality of the heart that we wish Bhadramte, Namaste. Of this there no doubt.
Another saying is jijivishet satam samah or should you wish to live 100 years.
This is from the Isavasya Upanishad. At first glance, its wishing one long life, yet
the rishi's of the Upanishads always have deeper meanings.
Achieving 100 is another way of saying enlightenment. That is, the first 0 is the fullness of the Absolute, the second 0 is the fullness of the relative. The 1 is the
Unity of both, or Brahman. This is the wisdom of the kavi ( or rishi) of the Ved.
jijivishet satam samah !
