The emblem has a right hand spiral placed in the centre of a hexagram or sexagram - a six-pointed geometric star, ensconced in a circular sprocket wheel or chakra, is surrounded by a three segmented circular border - one carrying its name in Gujarati, the other its name in English and the third one at the bottom carries its motto in Sanskrit ‘सत्यं ज्ञानं अनन्तम्’ meaning ‘True Knowledge is Infinite’. All are surrounded by a circular border line. At the right of this its acronym is written in narrow sans serif capital font. The right hand spiral is a powerful symbol with a rich history. It is a symbol of growth, evolution, the divine, and the balance of the universe. Hexagram consists of two overlapping equilateral triangles, one pointing upward and the other pointing downward, creating a symmetrical star shape. In Hinduism, the hexagram is known as the Shatkona and represents the union of male and female energies. Sudarshana Chakra, also referred to as the Vishnu Chakra is a symbol of divine power and protection. The colour yellow denotes happiness, energy, vitality, focus and creativity and green denotes life, production, fertility, agriculture and village.
