THE COLLEGE EMBLEMATMA DEEPOBHAVA
The logo adopted by the college, Sri Durga Malleswara Siddhartha Mahila Kalasala is one of the most remarkable mudras (palms and fingers in different shapes and
positions conveying different ideas) of Buddha. The ‘Mudra’ shows the right forefinger bending over the tip of the thumb
and the other fingers erect. It represents Buddha’s “Vyakhamudra” with a half opened lotus signifying preaching of wisdom and enlightenment of mind and soul through learning and pursuing truth. he lotus in the
logo stands for sanctity and purity . The motto of the college“Atma Deepobhava” also
signifies the same. It means, “be thou the light unto thyself” (‘Be you your own guide’). The
Buddha preached that the disciples should sift and scrutinize what they had been taught and judge for themselves. His own life ‘was a
living example of his dictum’ and this shows the abundant confidence the Buddha had in man and his abilities.
