What does namaste mean?<br />
Pet of the week<br />
Namaste is a word that most<br />
people have heard and relate it<br />
to yoga. Well, that is for a very<br />
good reason. Namaste is usually<br />
done at both the beginning and<br />
closing of a yoga class. Often<br />
more likely at the end, when we<br />
are more at peace. The yoga instructor<br />
initiates Namaste as a<br />
symbol of gratitude and respect<br />
toward his or her students.<br />
It is used as a salutation and is<br />
usually spoken with a slight bow<br />
and with both hands pressed together,<br />
palms touching and fingers<br />
pointing upwards, thumbs<br />
close to the chest. This gesture is<br />
called a Mudra, more specifically<br />
the Anjali Mudra.<br />
But yet when we hear the<br />
word and perform the mudra<br />
we are still often wondering<br />
the meaning. I had a student<br />
recently ask “What do we mean<br />
when we say “Namaste?” It was<br />
easy to reply that it is the equivalent<br />
of hello but the fact is that<br />
it is much more meaningful. It<br />
directly translates to “the divine<br />
in me bows to the divine in<br />
you.” A direct definition of Namaste<br />
from Wikipedia is~Nama<br />
means bow, as means I, and te<br />
means you. Therefore, Namaste<br />
literally means “bow me you” or<br />
“I bow to you.”<br />
But, I knew that I had to keep<br />
the meaning simple yet relay<br />
the true purpose. So my reply is<br />
always more loosely translated.<br />
Namaste means the light in me<br />
honors the light in you or as I<br />
tell my yoga kids “I respect myself<br />
and I respect you.’ It is never<br />
too early to teach that lesson.<br />
NAMASTE TO ALL.<br />

Two-year-old Bullet is a local surrender. He enjoys going for long walks, playing in snow and snuggling.<br />
At times he will pounce on tennis balls just like a puppy. What he does not love are city noises and windshield<br />
wipers. Bullet is yearning for a home in the country where it is more quiet and with the sounds<br />
he is familiar with. If traveling in a car it would be best for him to be buckled in or in a crate or kennel<br />
in the back, or sunny out so the wipers are not on. Bullet has been neutered, weighs 65 pounds and is a<br />
Vizsla & Lab mix. He is also up to date with vaccines. His family left him his crate, bed and toys, please<br />
be sure to ask about them.<br />
If you are interested in meeting Bullet in the hopes of adopting him, you can meet him at the Northeast<br />
Animal Shelter located at 347 Highland Ave. in Salem, MA. Visiting hours are Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-8<br />
p.m. and weekends 10 a.m.-6 p.m. You can also view more information online @ www.neas.org.<br />
