The 24 Virtues

One of most elaborate vexillogical symbol is the The Ashok Chakra, which reminds us of 'DharmaChakra' - the wheel of Dharma - an endless cycle of this universe. It proudly adorns the Indian Flag in the center.



The twenty four spokes of this chakra represent twenty four virtues:
1. Love
2. Courage
3. Patience
4. Peacefulness
5. Kindness
6. Goodness
7. Faithfulness
8. Gentleness
9. Self-control
10. Selflessness
11. Self sacrifice
12. Truthfulness
13. Righteousness
14. Justice
15. Mercy
16. Graciousness
17. Humility
18. Empathy
19. Sympathy
20. Godly knowledge
21. Godly wisdom
22. Godly moral
23. Reverential fear of God
24. Hope/trust/faith in the goodness of God.
How many of these virtues do you practice?
