The Sadhana Seal, at left, is not just a symbol, but it represents every aspect of the Teachings of The Sadhana Society. Each component of it contains a Spiritual Truth within itself. The OVAL or Egg represents THE WOMB OF GOD, into which the Seed of Creation is placed. Out of The Womb came the Whole Universe. Above the Egg, there are five rays. The first four, represent the Four Worlds of the Ancient Hopi People. They denote when great changes occurred on the face of the Earth, which also brought about changes in Man's Conscious Awareness of Himself as a Representative of the Creator. The fifth ray, represents the Fifth World - which is now slowly unfolding.

Within the Egg on the upper left-hand side, is the symbol for BRAHMAN, THE UNDEFINABLE - out of which all things came into Being. It is called the OM SYMBOL. It also represents the Divine Song - The Undefinable Something Within us that needs to be manifested. In the Western World, we find a variant of this Symbol in the form of petroglyphs carved on stones and shrines of the Ancient People of this continent.

To the far right of the OM Symbol, is the Symbol of the Spruce Tree. This is one of the major Symbols of the Ancient Native American People. It is said to have within it the Power to attract to itself all of the finer elements of the Universe. Like hands folded in prayer, it symbolizes humanities reachings toward the Divine. The rain that touches its branches becomes purified, as do all things that touch its branches - including us.

You will notice in the center of the Egg, the Symbol of the Flute Player. The Flute Player represents Man - the Co-Creator, sharing in the Divine Aspect of Creation and playing the Endless Song of Creation as he walks. Upon his back, he carries a bag filled with the Seeds of New Germination which he spreads along the Pathway of Life. This Flute Player is the Major Symbol of The Sadhana Society. It is symbolical of the THIRD PURPOSE OF THE SADHANA SOCIETY.

The Symbol directly below the Flute Player, is the Lotus. The Lotus symbolizes the flowering of the Human Spirit. As the Human Spirit unfolds, its Beauty and Divinity is revealed to the Whole World. The Flute Player who is the Divine Singer of Songs, rises from the very center of the Lotus. The Native American counterpart of the Lotus, is the Cactus Flower or the Squash Blossom. The horizontal line running through the Egg, represents the division of the Earth and Sky. The Flute Player (Man) stands between the two - with his feet on the Earth and his head in the Sky. In Native American tradition, it represents MOTHER EARTH and FATHER SKY. The point where Earth and Sky meet runs through the very Center of Man. This dividing line of two Powers - one physical and one Spiritual - is the Divine Mystery in Man.

These are the components of The Sadhana Society Seal. Through the teachings in the Lessons you will discover how all of these Truths came together to create this ALL ENCOMPASSING SYMBOL - which is a MANIFESTATION of the PRINCIPLES of THE SADHANA SOCIETY.
