SHAMBALLA SCHOOL LOGO
His robe of blue veils his eternal purpose, but in the rising and the setting sun his orb of red is seen. His word is power. His light, electric. The lightning is his symbol. His will is hidden in the counsel of his thought. Nought is revealed. His power is felt.

The logo symbolises that which lies behind consciousness or the 'son' principle.
It signifies both an eclipse when the lunar and solar orbs are aligned from the perspective of earth and also a black hole which could be said to be the centre around which the sun orbits and also the eventual destiny of stars of a certain size.
The red lightning bolt signifies the power of the first aspect which is contacted when the central spiritual sun is revealed.
Here the logo is seen emerging as the fourth synthetic point in a three fold system. The symbol of the 'eye in the triangle' is widespread throughout many esoteric traditions.
The Gayatri
O Thou Who givest sustenance to the universe,
From Whom all things proceed,
To Whom all things return,
Unveil to us the face of the true Spiritual Sun
Hidden by a disc of golden Light
That we may know the Truth
And do our whole duty
As we journey to Thy sacred feet.
