ANIL
NEERUKONDA INSTITUTE OF DENTAL SCIENCES (ANIDS) was started by Dr. Neerukonda
B. R. Prasad, an Educationist and Philanthropist from USA.
The
explanation of the logo is as follows:
The
Molar tooth: signifies dentistry
The 5
stars: Symbol of fame. The five-pointed star, or pentagram is one of the most
potent, powerful, and persistent symbols in human history. It may also be used
to symbolize the human body (feet, arms and head) as well as the five senses of
human perception (sight, sound, smell, touch, taste) - signifying that we are
not only dealing with the mouth but the entire human body. According to
Pythagoras, the five points of the pentagram each represent one of the five
elements that make up man: fire, water, air, earth, and psyche. (energy, fluid,
breath, matter, and mind; liquid, gas, solid, plasma and aethyr) The
Pythagoreans held the pentacle sacred to Hygeia, the Goddess of healing, whose
name (HGIEiA) was an anagram in Greek for the elements water, earth, spirit,
fire, and air.
The Rod
and the snake: In Greek mythology, the Rod of Asclepius (also spelled Asklepios
or Aesculapius), is a serpent-entwined rod wielded by the Greek god Asclepius,
a deity associated with healing and medicine. The significance of the serpent
has been interpreted in many ways. The serpent with its change of skin
symbolizes rebirth and fertility, while some see serpent as a symbol that
unites and expresses the dual nature of the work of the physician, who deals
with life and death, sickness and health.
The
wreath: The oak leaves symbolize wisdom, and are associated with Zeus, who
according to Greek mythology made his decisions while resting in an oak grove.
