Pangestu Symbol

Sprig of rose flower and frangipani on top of a purple-coloured background.

The rose flower symbolises outer duty. Part of humankind is appointed by God to become leader of nation, another part chosen to spread the illumination. Also, whoever amongst humankind who subserve towards their country accompanied with mind understanding that is foremost, so thus they shall become nation’s model who gives smell of fragrance. Yet however, even so, as part of normal human, they can still make error. This matter is symbolised with thorn on the stem of the rose flower. No matter how beautiful the rose, still thorny.

The frangipani flower symbolises inner duty. It must be intended that all humans devoted towards God with obeying all of Its-instruction, like that is included inside holy books, and avoid all of Its-prohibition. So, not only duty to the outside that must be fulfilled, rather also duty to the inside so to be able to continuously receive the blessing grace of God.

The base colour is purple, the colour purple in Javanese language is ‘wungu’ which also contain the meaning ‘wake’, ‘diwungu’ means ‘to awaken’, so the base colour of purple is intended so that members of Pangestu always in the condition of being awake (not sleeping) that is the soul is always conscious, always remember to outer and inner duties.
