Pointing at the flag, every Hindu will say: This is the Kundalini—this is the Kripana—-the one represents the highest bliss, the other worldly prosperity; they combine Shanti and Shakti, Yoga and Bhoga, Nivritti and Pravritti, Dhyeya and Dharana; the one symbolizes Aupanishadic Vidya (Highest spiritual attainment), the other denotes Aupanishadic Avidya (worldly advancement); the former reminds one Yogeshwar Krishna, the latter Dhanuradhara Partha of the Geeta.

When the Moslems were encroaching on the Hindusthan, the Maharashtriya Hindu padpadashahi, which succeeded in overthrowing them by its great forces with Herculean efforts and by organising the Hindu power, had as its flag Bhagwa zenda and everyone knows that the national Guru Samartha Ramdas, who bestowed it on the national hero Shree Shivaji Maharaj, gave it as the flag of Hindu religion for the great national purpose. For the establishment of Abhyudaya and Nihshreyas, Shri Ramdas has defined Dharma as— ‘Activity generates power. He who is active possesses it, but it must be based on the highest ideal of Nihshreyas, firstly as expounding the Kshatras
