MAHARAJA SURAJMAL BRIJ UNIVERSITY

The emblem of Maharaja Surajmal Brij University (MSBU) has a traditional lamp supported by an open book with its year of inception placed on it and its motto in Sanskrit ‘नास्ति विद्या समं चक्षु’ (Verse 12.169.33, Mahabharata) meaning ‘Knowledge is the Greatest Eye’ on a blue banner, below the book and a pair of laurels on sides. These are ensconced in a red colour circular border, whose outer edge is depicted as a multi-pointed glow as a sun, which carries its name in Devanagari and English. The traditional lamp symbolises light, illumination, awakening, devotion, purity, guidance, protection, hope and prosperity; the open book symbolises education, knowledge, learning and wisdom; the laurels symbolise ceremonies, victory, achievement, hard work and dedication and the sun denotes life, energy, power, positivity, illumination, light and clarity.
