The Emblem
The Emblem of the Rajiv Gandhi University of Health Sciences is a symbolic

expression of the confluence of both Eastern and Western Health Sciences. A central
wand with entwined snakes symbolises Greek and Roman Gods of Health called
Hermis and Mercury is adapted as symbol of modern medical science. The pot above
depicts Amrutha Kalasham of Dhanvanthri the father of all Health Sciences. The
wings above it depicts Human Soul called Hamsa (Swan) in Indian philosophy. The
rising Sun at the top symbolises knowledge and enlightenment. The two twigs of
leaves in western philosophy symbolises Olive branches, which is an expression of
Peace, Love and Harmony. In Hindu Philosophy it depicts the Vanaspathi (also called
as Oushadi) held in the hands of Dhanvanthri, which are the source of all Medicines.
The lamp at the bottom depicts human energy (kundalini). The script “Devahitham
Yadayahu” inside the lamp is taken from Upanishath Shanthi Manthram (Bhadram
Karnebhi Shrunuyanadev…), which says “May we live the full span of our lives
allotted by God in perfect health” which is the motto of the Rajiv Gandhi University
of Health Sciences.
