The Ashtamangala:
Eight Auspicious Symbols
The logo of Innovestive Advisors, "Heart-to-Heart Eternal Knot", is derived from the Endless Knot or Eternal Knot, which is a symbolic knot and one of the Ashtamangala, a sacred suite of Eight Auspicious Signs endemic to a number of religions such as Hinduism, Jainism, and Buddhism. The symbols or "symbolic attributes" are yidam and teaching tools. Not only do these attributes (or energetic signatures) point to qualities of enlightened mindstream, but they are the investiture that ornaments these enlightened "qualities". Many cultural enumerations and variations of the Ashtamangala are extant.
The Endless Knot or Eternal Knot is an important symbol and an important cultural marker in places significantly influenced by Tibetan Buddhism such as Tibet, Mongolia, Tuva, Kalmykia, and Buryatia. It is also found in Celtic and Chinese symbolism.
The Endless Knot or Eternal Knot denotes "the auspicious mark represented by a curled noose emblematic of love". It is a symbol of the ultimate unity of everything and the way in which all things are intertwined and linked.
Moreover, it represents the intertwining of wisdom and compassion, the mutual dependence of religious doctrine and secular affairs, the union of wisdom and method, the inseparability of "emptiness" and "interdependent origination", and the union of wisdom and compassion in enlightenment. This knot, net or web metaphor also conveys the Buddhist teaching of interpenetration.
