The GALVA Logo

The triangular shape of the GALVA logo represents the universal nature of the three sexes or genders – male, female, and hermaphrodite (the third sex).  Its upright position indicates a positive and spiritually focused perspective, especially in regard to the third sex, which is positioned at top.  The pink color of the triangle represents love, affection, desire and attraction, and the dot at the center of each side signifies how all three genders are interrelated and fall along a spectrum.

Each gender is represented by the sign of its chief ruling planet – Mars for male, Venus for female and Mercury for the third sex.  The yellow color and effulgence surrounding the three genders stress their positive potential and spiritual essence.  At the center of the logo is the “thousand-petaled lotus,” which represents the many different types of men and women as well as the beauty of nature’s diversity.  The lotus arises from a calm, tranquil lake symbolizing the peaceful mind and soul.  

Resting upon the lotus is the sacred Hindu omkara that is nondifferent from Sri Bhagavan, the Supreme Personality of Godhead.  It is the essence of all spiritual truth, and its sound vibration spreads throughout the material and spiritual skies.

In Bhagavad Gita, 9.17, Lord Krsna states: “I am the father of this universe, the mother, the support and the grandsire.  I am the object of knowledge, the purifier and the syllable om.”
