They are humility (Ishwar pranidhana), friendship (maitri), letting go (aparigraha), self-discipline (anushasana), balance (sthiram bhava), concentration (dharana), truthfulness (satya), satisfaction (santosha), non-stealing (asteya), creative thinking (yukti).
The comic book will construct the stories and morals innovatively to create the right behavioural modification with rational approach. The positive role modelling concept will sow the seeds of right actions without expectations (karma yoga) at a young age without any need for regulations and fine from the government.
