Personal Guidance
Kuśadhvaja, Dharmadhvaja, Kṛtadhvaja, Mitadhvaja — the names all carry the word 'dhvaja' (flag). Family identity coheres around shared symbols of dharma.
Reflection Questions
- What 'flag' does my family quietly carry — and is it a dharmic one?
- How could I make my household's shared symbol more deliberate and devotional?
