GUJARAT UNIVERSITY
GUJARAT UNIVERSITY The emblem of Gujarat University (GU) has a dancing peacock and the sculptural architecture resting on two pillars and a lamp suspended from its centre. The dancing peacocks represent Goddess Learning Saraswati. The arch represents Gujarat's heritage; the two pillars symbolise its solid foundation. The lamp is a symbol of learning that dispels the darkness of ignorance and enlightens everything around it. The lightning at the top of the rectangle and the atomic circles below it symbolise the flash of genius and scientific progress. The name and motto of the university are written on a circular border in Devanagari. The motto in Sanskrit ‘योगः कर्मसु कौशलम्’ (Verse 50, Chapter 2, Bhagavad Gita) means ‘Yoga is Skill in Action’.
