IMAGE OF THE DAY

YOGA GURUSAdi Shankaracharya (788 AD)

Adi Shankaracharya travelled with other thinkers and philosophers of his time to propagate his philosophy through discourses and debates. He founded four mathas that helped him in the revival and spread of Advaita Vedanta. He asserted that Atman (soul, self) exists in Hinduism, while there is no soul, no self in Buddhism. He is believed to be the organiser of the Dashanami monastic order and unified the Shanmata tradition of worship. He is regarded as the Jagadguru, a title used in Sanatana Dharma meaning the Guru of the Universe.

Some of his famous quotes:

"There are three things which are rare indeed and are attained by the grace of God, namely, a human birth, desire for liberation and the protecting care of a perfected sage."

"Having by some means obtained a human birth and that too of a male body, and mastery over the Vedas, the foolish person who does not try for self-liberation, verily commits suicide, for he kills himself by clinging to things that are unreal."

"Among things conducive to liberation, devotion alone holds the supreme place. The seeking after one's real nature is designated as devotion."

These are a few of the things we hear from customers after their first walk with the Freedom No-Pull Harness.

Ditch the front-connection-only harnesses that jerk them around and flip them forward. With the Freedom Harness, you get the “power steering” control of a front connection point, with the stability and comfort of a back connection point. The result is far better control, no movement restriction for your pup, and gentle compression for behavioral reinforcement — a win-win-win.

Plus every harness comes with a Swiss velvet padding for extra comfort. Add in a double connection leash and you are ready to enjoy your walks again!

All of our collars, leashes, and harnesses are proudly made in the U.S.A. with careful attention to the safety, functionality, and comfort of your dog, as well as a keen eye for design. And hey, we've been doing it for 20 years. We're kind of experts, now.

POSITIVE NEWS OF THE DAY

Children seeking treatment for hand injuries at a Chicago hospital don't anticipate leaving with a work of art specifically created for them, but that's precisely what happens due to one creative doctor.

At Shriners Children's Hospital, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Felicity Fishman is the go-to person for kids who want a smile on their face when they leave for home.

She’s drawn everything from dinosaurs and sharks to SpongeBob and Elsa for “Frozen” fans—all personalized with sterilized markers.

According to Fishman, "the entire team at Shriners Children's has embraced the simple joy that the cast art allows the recovering child to experience."

DID YOU KNOW?

The study published by the US National Library of Medicine followed 96 individuals and looked at different aspects of aging.

They discovered that yoga combined with meditation, which has its own range of benefits, helped to delay the aging process and prevent the onset of many different diseases.
