SYMBOLS & STORIES
EARTH The
earth our home. It is home to each one of us and all of us together.
It is circular and all-encompassing. Ironically it was science which
changed the shape in western imaginations from square to round.
The planet is simply a piece of rock floating in space but it is
very much alive and fertile. We belong to it. To seperate from earth
means to seperate from our body. We are not above earth, we are
on it and all of it is within us. We must observe the laws of nature
and be humble, gracious and protective. Earth is 4.5 billion years
old. We must respect our elders.
EK ONG KAR is represented here in the ancient Gurmuki language. Ek Ong Kar means There is one God that created all of creation. Historically these were the first three words spoken by Guru Nanak, a saintly man of universal consciousness, after he came out of a state of Samadhi (one-ness with the universe and creation) for three days. His words became the Japji and Ek Ong Kar makes up the first line of this sacred text. Guru Nanak delivered to the world universal teachings that are available to anyone regardless of race, creed, religion, cast, or social status.
HEART The heart a universal symbol.
It is the symbol of Love in all its forms including compassion.
When one lives from the heart then one is living life and living
in truth. When one acts from the heart then one is acting from Godliness.
The word YES within the heart denotes openess and affirmation of
the positive. Nothing is impossible and everything is possible.
The end punctuation ( . ) emphasises the certainty and
infinite nature of this word.
LOTUS (PADMA) The lotus symbol (or
its petals) is both a symbol of purity and variety, every lotus
petal representing a distinct aspect. The lotus in a YANTRA represents
freedom from multiple interference with the exterior (purity) and
expresses the absolute force of the Supreme Self. Lotuses are symbols
of purity and 'spontaneous' generation and hence symbolize divine
birth. According to the Lalitavistara, 'the spirit of the best of
men is spotless, like the new lotus in the [muddy] water which does
not adhere to it', and, according to esoteric Buddhism, the heart
of the beings is like an unopened lotus: when the virtues of the
Buddha develop therein the lotus blossoms. This is why the Buddha
sits on a lotus in bloom. In Tantrism, it is the symbol of the feminine
principle. The white lotus symbolizes Bodhi, the state of total
mental purity and spiritual perfection, and the pacification of
our nature. It generally has eight petals corresponding to the Noble
Eightfold Path of the Good Law. It is the lotus found at the heart
of the Garbhadhatu Mandala, being the womb or embryo of the world.
It is characteristic of the esoteric sects, and the lotus of the
Buddhas.
OM (AUM) This
is an ancient Sanksrit symbol. Before the beginning, the Brahman
(absolute reality) was one and non-dual. It thought, "I am
only one -- may I become many." This caused a vibration which
eventually became sound, and this sound was Om. Creation itself
was set in motion by the vibration of Om. The vibration produced
by chanting Om in the physical universe corresponds to the original
vibration that first arose at the time of creation. The sound of
Om is also called Pranava, meaning that it sustains life and runs
through Prana or breath. Om also represents the four states of the
Supreme Being. The three sounds in Om (AUM) represent the waking,
dream and deep sleep states and the silence which surrounds Om represents
the "Turiya" state. Just as the sound of Om represents
the four states of Brahman, the symbol Om written in Sanskrit also
represents everything. The material world of the waking state is
symbolized by the large lower curve. The deep sleep state is represented
by the upper left curve. The dream state, lying between the waking
state below and the deep sleep state above, emanates from the confluence
of the two. The point and semicircle are separate from the rest
and rule the whole. The point represents the turiya state of absolute
consciousness. The open semicircle is symbolic of the infinite and
the fact that the meaning of the point can not be grasped if one
limits oneself to finite thinking.
PEACE This
is one of the most widely known symbols in the world. In Britain
it is recognised as standing for nuclear disarmament and
in particular as the logo of the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament
(CND). In the United States and much of the rest of the world it
is known more broadly as the peace symbol.It was designed in 1958
by Gerald Holtom, a professional designer and artist and a graduate
of the Royal College of Arts. He showed his preliminary sketches
to a small group of people in the Peace News office in North London
and to the Direct Action Committee Against Nuclear War, one of several
smaller organisations that came together to set up CND. The first
public appearance was in the first major anti-nuclear march, from
London to Aldermaston, where British nuclear weapons were and still
are manufactured. It was on that march, over the 1958 Easter weekend
that the symbol first appeared in public. Gerald Holtom, a conscientious
objector who had worked on a farm in Norfolk during the Second World
War, explained that the symbol incorporated the semaphore letters
N(uclear) and D(isarmament). He later wrote to Hugh Brock, editor
of Peace News, explaining the genesis of his idea in greater, more
personal depth: I was in despair. Deep despair. I drew myself:
the representative of an individual in despair, with hands palm
outstretched outwards and downwards in the manner of Goyas
peasant before the firing squad. I formalised the drawing into a
line and put a circle round it. Eric Austin added his own
interpretation of the design: the gesture of despair had long been
associated with the death of Man and the circle with the unborn
child.
Healthy, Happy and Wholly RAW This
is not a symbol but a statement. The new "trend" in eating,
raw foods, is not a trend but an ancient way of sustainance which
we have lost contact withjust as we have lost contact with
our true spiritual nature (in that we are spiritual beings have
a human experience). Eating raw and organic foods promotes life,
abundance and peace on this planet, not only within yourself but
for all that which is connected to you great and small. For many
a raw diet will understandably take some transition time but for
those who wish to pursue it you will find your connection to your
body, life, spirit and peace deepen.
