The Trust's emblem: a guru blessing a kneeling disciple beneath a tree, before an open book, encircled by laurel branches
Our emblem

“ಅರಿವೇ ಗುರು”

“Knowledge is the Guru”

As in the Anubhava Mantapa, where seekers of every calling learned side by side as equals, our emblem shows a guru blessing a kneeling disciple beneath a sheltering tree — the meeting of teacher and student that gives the Trust its name.
