Ahimas Symbol
FROM THE SANSKRIT WORD FOR AVOIDANCE OF VIOLENCE. AHIMSA MEANS KINDNESS AND NON-VIOLENCE TOWARDS ALL LIVING THINGS, IT RESPECTS LIVING BEINGS AND BELIEVES THAT ALL LIVING THINGS ARE CONNECTED. AHMISA ALSO RECOGNIZES SELF DEFENSE WHEN NECESSARY, AS A SIGN OF A STRONG SPIRIT. WE have incorporated the symbol of Ahimas, in our training. For we have a belief that a strong body and strong mind, led to a strong spirit.
