 EMBLEM
The University emblem consisting of two concentric circles, with the inner circle divided into
two halves, one half showing the rising sun the other depicting the waters and a hundred
petalled lotus emanating there from symbolises the biunity of knowledge and action, whole
and part and time eternity. The Rigvedic hymn in the space between the upper
circumferences of the two circles is a prayer to all powers auspicious, and an invocation of
all intentions noble, all actions good and all wisdom serene.

The circle, the sun, the waters and the lotus in the emblem are all archetypes of wholeness.
The mandala is a familiar motive of Indian art and iconography. The vedic supernal sun and
the surface of the mythic lotus are circular in shape (mandalakara).

The supernal sun is verily the Person (Purusha) the Divine Being, the all-whole, divided into
four part, one representing the three worlds of earth. sky and space (bhutani) and the
remaining three, that is the major part representing Heaven and Immortality (amritam divi).
II is this all-whole (akhanda mandalakaram) that the part (ams'a), that is man, perennially
craves to unite with, through right knowledge and right action (Karatub).

The vedic hymn then expresses nothing more nor less than the universal human yearning
for right knowledge, right intentions and right action (bhadrah kratavo) to come to him from
all cosmic and supra cosmic corners. And it is this ideal of right intention that they seek to
inculcate among their alumni.

The lotus is again the seat and seed-bed, in Indian mythology, of the goddess of knowledge
(saraswati). The waters are the ultimate source from which all manifestations proceed and
are appropriately depicted in myth and art as the residue(shesha), the irreducible unknown
and unshown to which everything known and shown can be reduced. The residue (shesha)
is analogically the non-residual (ashesha), the endless whole(ananta).

The traditional art motifs reproduced in the emblem only intend

to express and reinforce the symbolism of the vedic hymn
which our founding fathers had rightly selected as our motto.
