 Another Design of the Coloured Emblem | Math and Mission Emblem ” All power is within you, you can do anything and everything. Believe in that, do not believe that you are weak… You can do anything and everything without even the guidance of anyone. All power is there. Stand up and express the divinity within you… Arise, Awake, Sleep no more. Within each of you there is the power to remove all wants and all miseries. Believe in this, and that power will be manifested." - Swami Vivekananda This Emblem of the Ramakrishna Math and Ramakrishna Mission was designed by Swami Vivekananda and the meaning of each of the symbols in the emblem was explained by him Explanation of the Symbols in the Emblem The Wavy waters in the picture are symbolic of KARMA; and lotus, of BHAKTI; and the rising-sun, of JNANA. The encircling serpent in indicative of YOGA and the awakened KUNDALINI SHAKTI, while the swan in the picture stands for the PARAMATMAN (Supreme Self). Therefore the idea of the picture is that by the union of Karma, Jnana, Bhakti and Yoga, the vision of the Paramatman is obtained.
