What Our Logo Means

The Shishukunj symbol illustrates the development of the child. A child is like a blossoming bud. A bud blossoms into a flower. The lotus flower is a sign of peace. It has seven petals. Seven colours of the spectrum are woven in all matters of our planet earth.

Each colour has an effect on the child's nature and temperament.

The pot is included to show that soil, nutrition, water and air are needed for buds to blossom properly. Shishukunj provides these ingredients for the child's development and helps the talents hidden within a child to emerge. The whole symbol has been established in a circle to show that the development takes place holistically, in all aspects of personal development.

This symbol was prepared for the first Kendra of Shishukunj of Karachi in 1943.
