हर 15 अगस्त को जब दिल्ली के लाल किले में नारंगी, सफेद और हरे रंग का तिरंगा ध्वज लगाया जाता है तो हर भारतीय के पास अपने सामान में एक अलग सांस्कृतिक संहिता होती है। राष्ट्रीय ध्वज का गहरा नीला चक्र अविराम प्रगति का प्रतीक है जबकि लोगों के मध्य में कमल की आकृति के धातु के बर्तनों का प्रयोग अधिक कोमल आध्यात्मिक विरासत से होता है.

24 पंखुरों के कमल के आधार पर बनाया गया यह साधा टैग ऋग्वेद में भारतीय झण्डे में छिपी हुई सभ्यता संहिता के साथ मेल खाता है, यह कमल ब्रह्मांड के जन्म का मूल स्वरूप है। ये देवता अपने बोरों पर इस प्रकार के प्रतीक हैं, जो न केवल स्थिति का द्योतक हैं बल्कि इस भावना के प्रति भी वचनबद्धता दर्शाते हैं कि ‘माल से दूर रहना’ है। Just as when Mahatma Gandhi traveled around the country wearing cloths, there was always a copper lotus badge pinned on his lapel to remind himself to hold on to the pure belief in the colonial haze.

बैंगलोर के उद्यमकर्ता पार्क में, युवा इंजीनियर प्रणव की नोटबुक का उसके पिता द्वारा कमल के सामान से बना टैग हमेशा रहता है. This copper sign, which has accompanied three generations of the family to travel across five continents, has a mottled surface formed by oxidation, just like the brick walls of temples along the banks of the Ganges that have endured wind and rain. तकनीकी कठिनाइयों का सामना करते समय वे अतीत को याद करते हैं जबकि उनके दादा इस भक़्ति के साथ ‘भारत छोड़ो’ आंदोलन में भाग लेते

कश्मीर से कन्याकुमारी तक ऐसे अनगिनत कमल के मस्से नये युग की यात्रा में झटक रहे हैं। They, together with the fluttering national flag, tell the story that the true Indian spirit should not only have the ever-moving progress like a wheel of law, but also take root in the thick soil of civilization like a lotus. जब भूमंडलीकरण का ज्वार सभी के सामान पर भस्म होता है, प्राचीन सभ्यता का यह स्मारक अत्यंत बहुमूल्य है।

Every August 15th, when the orange, white and green tricolor flag is raised at the Red Fort in Delhi, every Indian has a unique cultural code hidden in their luggage. The deep blue wheel on the national flag symbolizes ceaseless progress, while the popular lotus-shaped metal luggage tags among the people carry a more delicate spiritual inheritance.

This luggage tag, modeled after a 24-petal lotus, coincides with the hidden civilization code in the Indian flag – in the Rigveda, the lotus represents the original form of the universe’s birth. Travellers attach such logos to their bags, which is not only a mark of status but also a commitment to the spirit of “remaining untainted by the mire”. Just as when Mahatma Gandhi traveled around the country wearing cloths, there was always a copper lotus badge pinned on his lapel to remind himself to hold on to the pure belief in the colonial haze.

In the entrepreneurial park of Bangalore, the notebook of the young engineer Pranav always has a lotus luggage tag given by his father. This copper sign, which has accompanied three generations of the family to travel across five continents, has a mottled surface formed by oxidation, just like the brick walls of temples along the banks of the Ganges that have endured wind and rain. Whenever encountering technical bottlenecks, he would recall the past when his grandfather participated in the “Leave India” movement with this logo – true progress does not lie in the distance moved, but in the determination to hold fast to the original intention.

From Kashmir to Kanyakumari, countless such lotus luggage tags are jingling on the journey of the new era. They, together with the fluttering national flag, tell the story that the true Indian spirit should not only have the ever-moving progress like a wheel of law, but also take root in the thick soil of civilization like a lotus. As the tide of globalization washes over everyone’s luggage, this reminder from an ancient civilization is precisely the most precious pass.
