HIMALAYIYA UNIVERSITY |
The circular emblem in burgundy and blue of Himalayiya University (HU) has a motif of Mount Himalayas in a cyan background with the national emblem of Ashoka Chakra placed behind its peak supported by an open book holding a traditional lamp. These are ensconced in a blue and burgundy circular border, on which its name and motto are inscribed separated by a pair of stars. The motto in Sanskrit ‘उतिष्ठत जाग्रत प्राप्य वरान्निबोधत’ (Mantra 14, Valli 3, Chapter 1, Kathopanishad - part of the dialogue between Yama and Nachiketa) meaning ‘Get up, Wake up and Listen to the Boons you have Received’. The Mount Himalayas represent the geography of the university; the Ashoka Chakra represents the nation; the open book denotes education, knowledge, learning and wisdom; the lamp denotes light, illumination, awakening, devotion, purity, guidance, protection, hope and prosperity; the colour blue symbolises serenity, calmness, trust, spirituality, calmness, wisdom, freedom, openness, intelligence and loyalty and the colour burgundy symbolises individuality, intensity, ambition, power and sophistication.
