Ahimsa Mandala Shirt - And Another Sale!

New T shirt design from Shanti Tees . Mandala adapted from the Jain symbol of the vow of Ahimsa, a rule of conduct barring the killing or injuring of any living being, and the fundamental principle that is the cornerstone of the Jainist ethics and doctrine. Ahimsa is also the main yama of yoga practice. Ahimsa also required the non-harming, violence, or injury to the self as well as to other living beings.
The Jainist Ahimsa mandala consists of the word “Ahimsa” in script in the middle of a dharmachakra, or wheel of dharma, with 24 spokes, symbolizing the 24 tirthankars, or enlightened beings. Our version uses India style decorated stylized petals and leaves for the 24 wheel spokes, to emphasize the concept of life. For more information about Ahimsa, see Wikipedia for a general overview. And Yoga Journal gives a good overview of Ahimsa in relation to yoga practice.

Anja (Third Eye, 6th) Chakra

Shanti Tees' funky version of the 2-petalled, eye-shaped Anja (meaning command) (6th) chakra with India style decoration. Located in Third Eye, or pineal gland. Associated color – indigo. Sacred symbol Om (Aum) in the center. Rules the intuition and visualization. ( I have seen this chakra called both the Ajna and Anja chakra. Can't find out which is actually correct.)
And here's a groovy little Aum Meditation by Anmol Mehta for opening up the Third Eye Chakra, he makes wonderfully clear cut instructional yoga and meditation videos.

India Style Paisley Designs - (Redux)

Shanti Tees had some India style paisley designs that were kicking around for awhile and badly in need of a makeover. So we invested them with some 60's style grooviness, and added some fuel to the argument that gradient tools, (along with airbrush tools and palatte knives) should be lisenced like handguns.
