Bhagwa Dhwaj Bhagwa Dhwaj, one of the great Hindu symbols,signifies sacrifice, knowledge, purity and serviceThe Bhagwa Dhwaj is the eternal symbol of Hindu culture and Dharma. It adorns every ashram, every temple, the army Chatrapati Shivaji and the chariots of Sri Ram, Sri Krishna and Arjuna. It stands for Dharma, wealth, advancement, glory, knowledge and detachment. The combination of these six aspirations is “Bhagwa”. The color of the flag is Saffron. It is the color of FIRE and its flames. The fire is the great purifier, the eternal witness of all “Yagnas”, of all the offerings. It inspires the greatest of all human values, sacrifice, the very essence of Hindu Dharma. The the color reminds us of the orange hue around the rising Sun, that dispels darkness and radiates light all around. It beckon us to shake of our lethargy (Arise, Awake!), and get down to our duty. The Sun burns throughout the day, silently sacrificing itself, thereby, giving life to all creatures on this planet, without demanding anything in return. And as it sets, it teaches us to have no expectations, no regrets; just ceaselessly (nitya and akhand) render service to all creatures. Its shape consists of two triangles: the upper being shorter than the lower one. The triangles represent the rising flames of the burning fire. The flames rise upwards only - those rising from the bottom being the longest. They teach us to “rise above and become better always.” The shape of the Bhagwa has another significance: diversity, acceptance, harmony and mutual respect. The small and the large portions remind us that duality, contrast, inequality, diversity are inevitable. For harmonious existence there must be sharing, respect and cooperation - the burden must always be on the big to support the small. The Bhagwa has been the silent witness of our long history. In its folds resides the images, the memories, the tapas of our ancestors, our Rishis, our Mothers. It is our greatest Guru, our Guide, inspiring us forever to live the life full of sublime virtues based on sacrifice, dedication, purity and service.

Sanghatan Mantra

Let us meet together, talk together, let our minds apprehend alike, in like manner as the ancient Devas, concurring, accepted their portions of offerings.
Common be our prayer, common be the acquirement, common be the purpose, associated be the desire. I repeat for you a common prayer, I offer for you a common oblation.
Common be you intention, common be the wishes of your hearts, common be your thoughts, so that there may be thorough union amongst you.
Individual upliftment, individual liberation is not the goal; and individual thought or individual action is not the means or the process.
Collective thought, collective speech, collective exertion, collective assertion is our mode of thinking and action.
The goal of Lok-Sangraha not reached until every member of the society is fulfilled, is prosperous, is liberated

Ekta Mantra

To whom the Vaidikas and the ancient seers cal Indra, Yama and Matarishwa;the vedantins indicate that inexplicable one by the word Brahma.
To which Almighty the Shaivites call Shiva and the Vaishnavites praise as Vishnu, the Bauddhas call him the Buddha and the Jains as Arhat, the Sikh sages call him as Sri Akal.
Some call him as Shasta, some others as Kumar or Swami, Mata or Pita through devotion and pray that the Lord of the universe is only one absolute without second
This Mantra captures the essence of Hindu Dharma - the core of its foundational philosophy, its vastness, its all embracing, unifying world view
This is the mantra by which VHP lives, breathes and acts
Let there be no doubt about it.
