MOTTO
తమసోమా జ్యోతిర్గమయ (tamaso mā jyotirgamaya)—means “Lead me from darkness to light.” When we refer to darkness and light, they mean ignorance and knowledge, respectfully. This is so because ignorance, like darkness, obscures true understanding. and in the same way the only remedy for darkness is light and only remedy for ignorance is knowledge.
