 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.
