The School Cresst & Motto

The school crest has a significance and meaning. The two swans stand for the teacher and the taught. The sun, which is the source of energy and light to the world, stands for the knowledge we aspire to gain and the temple inside the sun symbolizes the ever abiding grace of Shri Sadguru Manik Prabhu Maharaj.

The poetic concept concerning the swan is that it can separate milk from water and drink only the milk. It remains spotlessly clean and so stands for purity. This encourages the teacher and the taught to be as clean in body and mind as the swan and to acquire the power of discriminating good from evil and select only what is good. The translation into English of the motto inscribed in the crest (VoOpñdZm_YrV_ñVw) is, "Let what we (the teacher and the taught) have acquired be radiant". The entire crest including the motto suggests that "we, the teacher and the taught, shall endeavour to be as pure and clean in body and mind as the swan, we shall have the power of discriminating good from evil, right from wrong, and the knowledge that we shall acquire in the school shall be as bright as the Sun, by the grace of Shri Prabhu".
