CHINMAYA VISHWA VIDYAPEETH Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth (CVV) is a Deemed-to-be-University in the 'de novo' category, started in 2017, the centenary year of the inspirational visionary and founder of Chinmaya Mission and renowned Vedantic master and teacher, Swami Chinmayananda. The logo of Chinmaya Vishwa Vidyapeeth is a composition of three elements: a lotus in blossom, the syllable Om which is the signature of Swami Chinmayananda and a flame. The lotus symbolises the blossoming of the inner personality and the transformation of the individual through education. The Om in the centre represents spiritual transformation wherein a person discovers her or his divine essence. In the centre, the flame of the Chinmaya Vision as education is to light us up and as lamps to be kindled.

AUM

AUM 'ॐ', 'Aum' or 'Om' is the most sacred syllable of Hinduism. It stands for 'Brahman' both as impersonal and personal God. The goal of life, which all the Vedas declare, which all austerities aim at and which men desire when they lead the life of continence, if told in brief: it is Om. This syllable Om is indeed Brahman. This syllable is the 'Highest'. Whosoever knows this syllable obtains all that he desires. The syllable consists of three phonemes ‘a’ Vaishvanara, ‘u’ Hiranyagarbha and ‘m’, Iswara, which symbolize the beginning, duration, and dissolution of the universe and the associated gods Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, respectively.
