Ashoka Chakra

Ashoka Chakra is on the flag of our nation. It symbolizes movement since there is death with stagnation. Twenty-four spokes comprise the mighty wheel. They represent the rishis whose knowledge and power were real. The spokes signify love, courage, patience, and peacefulness. There is also magnanimity, goodness, faithfulness, and gentleness; along with selflessness, self-control, self sacrifice, and truthfulness. Don’t forget righteousness, justice, mercy, and gracefulness; as well as humility, spiritual knowledge, the fear of God, and empathy. Finally, there are moral values, spiritual wisdom, the faith or trust, and sympathy. They are all the virtuous qualities of dharma. Forever may the flag fly over India. I thank wikipedia.org for information I obtained to write this poem.
