Text about the exhibit
On 21st May 1965 Swamiji sent a letter to Sri Jamuna Das Moorjani(Trustee, CCMT from 1962-2000), specifying the details of the Chinmaya Mission Emblem which he called as Chinmaya Pradeep.
The swan fountain is a representation of the emblem of Chinmaya Mission. 
Chinmaya Mission Lamp was named Chinmaya Pradeep by Swami Chinmayananda. It is cast in FRP and it depicts a lamp of knowledge with a hamsa (swan) at its crown. The swan can separate water from milk denoting discrimination. The oil lamp symbolizes the ethical life needed to light the flame of Knowledge within. They together denote the spiritual and social services of Chinmaya Mission. The fountain brings water and fire together in a unique way.
