Aham Brahmasmi

The Panchamahabhoothas - the five elements - earth, water, fire, air and ether represent all of nature. So what could be more apt for Prakriya than a logo with symbols of all the elements?

 
The 'bindu' within is the symbol Of Akash
The crescent is the symbol of Vayu
The triangle is symbolic of Agni
The circle is symbolic of Jal
The square is symbolic of Prithvi
The petals stand for flowering

We were all thrilled with the appropriateness of the logo but it did look a little cold and analytical...
So we got some children to climb all over it!

 
The Universe is infinite, Aakash is infinite

May I experience this infiniteness
again and again - to fill my soul,
to feel the magic of the whole and the parts
May I experience the infiniteness of my self
to let my being unfold in all its glory
ever touching infinite humanness in myself and the world

The Universe is relatedness, as Vayu is relatedness

May I value my relatedness to the small and the great
conscious that every part is linked to every other
to experience the richness of living life fully
May I take care of all the linkages within me
to search for integration
to foster wholesomeness in myself and the world.

The Universe is energy, Agni is energy

May I be always be blessed by this fire of energy
to kindle the vibrancy of my being
to offer my brilliance to the world
May I keep renewing the fire of energy within me
to be creative in my action
to keep searching for goodness, truth and beauty

The Universe is everchanging, ever in flow as in Jal

May I be in touch with the majestic flow of the Universe
to keep receiving and renewing myself
to flow with my offerings to the world
May I respect the everchanging nature of my 'self'
to keep learning and flowing
celebrating the wisdom of nature

The Universe is diverse, Prithvi is diverse

May I be in touch with this diversity always
to respect every being I encounter
to value all elements and qualities
May I keep discovering the multiplicity in myself
to make my life a song
of celebration of the human spirit
