The emblem of the Ramakrishna Order

 The wavy waters in the picture symbolize Karma, the lotus represents Bhakti, and the rising sun signifies Jnana. The encircling serpent denotes Yoga and the awakened Kundalini Shakti, while the swan stands for Paramatman. Thus, the ideal conveyed by the emblem is that through the union of Karma, Jnana, Bhakti, and Yoga, one attains the vision of Paramatman.”
