The Ananda Worldwide Joy Symbol represents each person’s journey toward ever-increasing happiness, wisdom, and joy.  The mountain peak represents our soul’s aspiration to embrace ever-wider vistas of awareness, by extending our friendship, kindness, and compassion to others. The lines continue upward in the flight of a bird, as it soars upward, gathering wisdom and joy. Finally, the bird descends toward earth again, eager to share its new-found treasures with all.
