The saffron colour of Dharma-Dhwaj

The saffron colour of Dharma-Dhwaj

The saffron colour of Dharma Dhwaj symbolizes the ever illuminating sun and fire; it denotes sacrifice which has inspired many to devote their lives  for others in brief. Bhagavat Dhwaj is a symbol of sacrifice, selfless service and righteousness. It stands for sustained effort to uphold dharma through self-sacrifice It reminds of our duty towards the Hindu community and the society as a whole. The colour exhorts man should forsake his self-centeredness, by offering himself in the service of others, performing the true Yagna, sacrificing body, mind and Atman in the service of mankind. One has to live for others but not for self. Each second of his life is a Yagna. Such is our Culture.
