Vira (Chivalry) Rasa

Among the navarasas, chivalry is valid to the life of being a warrior and today, many of us are corporate warriors which need real courage.

The rapture of chivalry is produced by means of energy, perseverance, optimism, absence of surprise, presence of mind and kindness.

Chivalry or bravery is definitely a feel-good situation. Chivalry is represented on the stage by firmness, patience, heroism, pride, zeal, valour and wit. Bravery fills you with enthusiasm, energy and spontaneity. It is this brave and gentle quality that defines a true hero and it reaps the benefits of other’s happiness. Bravery is seen in the small everyday courage that each of us is called to manifest in the face of obstacles. The ability to sacrifice, which is the core of emotional intelligence, is a part of the vira rasa. The ability to persist in the face of difficulties is a part of this. To meet the jealousy and pettiness of the world with gentleness, humour and fearlessness is part of it. Brilliance and elegance belong to the true warrior, who aligns himself with the powerful forces of goodness.

‘Josh’, wakefulness, energy and boundless enthusiasm are an expression of this energy.
