What is Dharma - New Article on Sanatan Dharma Website


Namaste,

I have uploaded new article 'What is Dharma' on my website www.sanatan-dharma.in

Please find the link below


The article attempts to explain different uses of the word 'Dharma' including varṇa dharma and āśrama dharma. It goes on to explain our spiritual journey and importance of dharma to progress on spiritual path.

The Article also explains that guṇas are at the heart of dharma. From individual level, following dharma leads to development of divine qualities within ourselves and helps us purify our heart and mind. Character building, emotional, mental and spiritual nourishment which is often neglected today is the main motto of practicing dharma. 

Article further explains how our śāstras give the meaning of dharma. Article further goes beyond dharma and adharma towards moksha.

It explains three types of debts (Ṝṇa-traya) and how can a person be free by following the prescribed dharma. 

Article also explains difference between dharma and religion or mazhab and Prophet and Guru. It also emphases on the uniqueness of our tradition to reason before accepting anything and freedom to challenge the basic concepts of Nyāya school.

I hope you will enjoy the article. 

Hari OM
