"Namaste" is the ninth television episode of the fifth season of ABC's Lost. The 95th episode of the show overall, "Namaste" aired on March 18, 2009, on ABC in the United States, being simulcast on A in Canada. The episode was written by supervising producer Paul Zbyszewski and producer Brian K. Vaughan and directed by executive producer Jack Bender.

In 1977, when Jack Shephard (Matthew Fox), Kate Austen (Evangeline Lilly) and Hugo "Hurley" Reyes (Jorge Garcia) return to the past unannounced, James "Sawyer" Ford (Josh Holloway) further perpetuates his lie to continue to hide their true identities. All that suddenly changes when Sayid Jarrah (Naveen Andrews) is found as well, but is forcefully captured by Jin-Soo Kwon (Daniel Dae Kim) in order to hide the lie. In 2007, Sun-Hwa Kwon (Yunjin Kim), Benjamin Linus (Michael Emerson), Frank Lapidus (Jeff Fahey) and the passengers of the Ajira Airways Flight 316 arrive on the island in the present.
