EYEING THE FUTURE

KNOWN AND UNKNOWN

“This Indus Valley script symbol can be interprete­d as a storehouse of knowledge or a knowledgea­ble person.”

GODS OF WATER

“Lord Vishnu’s first avatar was Lord Matsya (fish). The fish, therefore, represents a Vishnu follower and with a crown, it represents Lord Vishnu himself.”

GROUNDED RELATIONS

“This symbol is from one of the oldest deciphered Indian scripts, the Brahmi script. It is read as Bhu, which means mother earth.”

CIRCLE OF LIFE

“A circle has neither a beginning nor an end and symbolises God. Two circles together mean the God of Gods or the Mahadev.”

SONS OF THE SUN

“This symbol represents the Sun, or more specifical­ly, a Suryavansh­i or the descendant­s/clan of the Sun God.”

AXES UP

“This symbol represents the Axe. It is used to spell out Lord Parshu Ram’s name. Parshu literally means Axe.”

FIGHTING THE BIG FIGHT

“This is an Indus Valley script symbol, which I interpret as an instrument of war or a warrior.”

THE DIVINE INTERVENTI­ON
