Our name, Pantala
Pantala is a genus of dragonflies. The dragonfly, in almost every part of the world, symbolizes change, the perspective of self-realization, the evolution to mental and emotional maturity, and the understanding of the deeper meaning of life.
The dragonfly undergoes a series of molting stages in its lifecycle, evolving into an adult with an agile flight that exudes power and poise. The dragonfly can reach an amazing speed of 70 kilometers per hour, hover, fly backward, fly straight up, down, and on either side. It can do this while flapping its wings a mere 30 times per minute, while most other insects flap their wings 600 to 1000 times per minute.
The dragonfly's complex metamorphosis—its evolution into a powerful being—is the inspiration for the transformation philosophy adopted by Pantala.
