Satori meaning ‘enlightenment’ or ‘awakening’ in Buddhism and Vana meaning ‘ultimate bliss’ in Sanskrit encouraging one to sit on the seat of absolute peace and bliss by embodying their highest or supreme self.



Inception

 

Samcara Vana II left on a note; after enlightenment we become fully aware of our divinity,

we remain peaceful and blissful, revelling in our own self.

In Zen, enso (円相, "circular form") is a circle that is hand-drawn in one or two uninhibited brushstrokes to express a moment when the mind is free to let the body create.

This symbol commonly comes to represent enlightenment, limitless strength, the universe, or mu (the void or no-thing).

We decided to create circular spheres which represented "wholeness"

 

and use backdrop colors inspired by the 'Mandala'

 

 


 

Mandala or 'circle' is a spiritual and ritual symbol in Hinduism and Buddhism, representing the universe. The circular design symbolises the idea that life is never ending and everything is connected.

 

Blue representing emotional healing, inner peace and meditation

 

Orange representing creativity, self-awareness, intuition and transformation

 

  Then, bringing to awareness six realms of self development inspired by The Vedas


namely;

 

 



SELF SUFFICIENCY

CHEERFULNESS

an evolved person is replete with cheer and joy though she may express is discreetly

 

 

 
DYNAMISM

the mind being calm and composed, that generates energy and power within her

becoming bright, active and dynamic

  

 

SELFLESSNESS 

or the very backbone of character and conduct of the evolved
