भारतीय इतिहास के ६ स्वर्णिम पृष्ठ (वीर सावरकर - विदेशी आक्रान्ताओं पर विजय गाथा)

But the ultimate aim of the Hindu Abhyudaya is Nihshreyas and keeping this in view, the Hindus should endeavour to reach the highest goal humanly possible, which is the special characteristic of the Hindu Nation. Hindus have perfected a science based on experiment, which can be termed the highest blessing on human life. This Shastra is called the Yoga. It is the highest means of the full development of man’s internal powers. It is, therefore, very necessary that a clear symbol of Yoga, which indicates the way to the highest bliss should be fixed on the flag of the Hindu Nation. The symbol is that of the Kundalini. It is not the characteristic of any particular Jati or Varna. It exists in all human beings. On both sides of the Merudanda (spinal cord), there are two nadis (rivers), which are named by the Hindu Yogashastris as the Ida and the Pingala. They are intertwined with each other like a garland. Between these two, there is a third nadi called the Sushumna. In them, there are centres of nerves, which are designated as lotuses in the Yogic language. There are chiefly six lotuses, known as the Muladhara, the Swadhisthana, the Manipura, the Anahata, the Vishuddha and Sahasrara. In the Muladhara chakra, there is a marvellous power, which is coiled up. By Yogic and meditative practices it gets awakened and passing through every lotus (nerve center) and experiencing wonderful psychic superhuman experiences, reaches the Sahasrara lotus. Then the person practicing Yoga experiences wonderfully super-sensous and intense joy and bliss. This stage is designated by the Yogis as that of Kaivalyananda, by the Vajrayanis as that of Mahasuka, by the Adwaitees as that of Brahmananda, and by the devotees as that of Premananda. To acquire this supreme joy or bliss is the highest ideal of man, be he a Hindu or a non-Hindu (Muslim, Christian or Jew) i.e. believer or non-believer, citizen or forester. This Yogashastra is a science of personal experience. Hence, there is no place for difference of opinions. Therefore, the Kundalini that is the Muladhar Shakti or man’s highest progress and eternally blissful state of superconsciousness, which can be personally experienced, can alone be the symbol of the great ideal, at which the Abhyudaya of the Hindu Nation aims. Thus, the Kundalini represents all the ultimate aspirations, feelings, and powers of mankind and the Kripana, which represents the all-sided Abhyudaya aiming at and leading to the nation’s ideal prosperity. These two alone being depicted on the national flag, will be able to indicate and inspire the ideals of Abhyudaya and Nihshreyas.
