Answer 2

dharma is a sanskrit word which comes from the root word "dhr" which means to sustain

this word has nothing to do with buddhism or jainism as is misunderstood by the westerners.

this word has its origin in the vedas.

dharma is a single word which encompasses everything from peace, law, rule, duty,

in short dharma is that which is t be done to sustain the world. every citizen of the universe has a dharma

a police man has the dharma not to accept bribes

a student has a dharma to study well

a mother has a dharma to care for her child

a politician ha a dharma not to swindle public money

In short dharma means "that which has to be adhered to"

Dharma (Sanskrit:) or Dhamma (Pāli) (Natural Law) refers to the underlying order in Nature and human life and behaviour considered to be in accord with that order. Ethically, it means 'right way of living' or 'proper conduct,' especially in a religious sense. With respect to spirituality, dharma might be considered the Way of the Higher Truths. Dharma is a central concept in religions and philosophies originating in India.

Answer 4

Progressing towards the righteous path is dharma. Rebels please stay out of this topic. This is not for you. Scriptures in all religions, prescribe a certain way of doing certain things. For a disciplined person, doing it the right way comes naturally and without his awareness he follows dharma. Right from childhood, discipline of mind and body should be taught as a way of living. If followed, Dr. Kalam's question will be answered - combating terrorism!

Answer 7

Dharma refers to that which is constantly existing with a particular object. We conclude that there is heat and light along with the fire; without heat and light, there is no meaning to the word fire. Similarly, we must discover the essential part of the living being, that part which is his constant companion. That constant companion is his eternal quality, and that eternal quality is his eternal religion.
