Pranam DHARMA THE WAY OF LIFE IS *ONLY SOLUTION*
1 In Hinduism <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hinduism>, dharma is one of the four components of the *Puruṣārtha <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puru%E1%B9%A3%C4%81rtha>*, the aims of life, and signifies behaviour that is considered to be in accord with *Ṛta <https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E1%B9%9Ata>*, the order that makes life and universe possible It includes duties, rights, laws, conduct, virtues and "right way of living". 2 Rig-veda identifies seven different meanings of dharma, including meanings such as "law", "order", "duty", "custom", "quality", and "model", among others. The root of the word *dharma* is "dhri", which means "to support, hold, or bear". It is the thing that *regulates the course of change* *by not participating in change, but that principle which remains constant.* The word *dharma*, such as that which is established or firm, steadfast decree, statute, law, practice, custom, duty, right, justice, virtue, morality, ethics, religion, religious merit, good works, nature, character, quality, property. Yet, each of these definitions is incomplete, while the combination of these translations does not convey the total sense of the word. In common parlance, *dharma* means "right way of living" and "path of rightness" This was written in perfect terms by TIRUVALLUAR as “it is enough if you lead a life of those ways which is recognized and which people in general adopted as morality, than doing ritualistic shaving the heads and growing the beards”; and whimsically today many Hindus grow beards remain unshaven which is welcome even by the ladies. 3 धर्मः तस्माद्धर्मात् परं नास्त्य् अथो अबलीयान् बलीयाँसमाशँसते धर्मेण यथा राज्ञैवम् । यो वै स *धर्मः* *सत्यं* *वै* *तत्* तस्मात्सत्यं वदन्तमाहुर् *धर्मं* *वदतीति* *धर्मं* *वा* *वदन्तँ* *सत्यं* *वदतीत्य्* *एतद्ध्येवैतदुभयं* भवति ।। BD Uapanishad 1 4 14 Nothing is higher than dharma. The weak overcomes the stronger by dharma, as over a king. Truly that dharma is the Truth (*Satya*); Therefore, when a man speaks the Truth, they say, "He speaks the Dharma"; and if he speaks Dharma, they say, "He speaks the Truth!" For both are one. 4 श्रेयान्स्वधर्मो विगुण: परधर्मात्स्वनुष्ठितात् | स्वधर्मे निधनं श्रेय: परधर्मो भयावह: || 35||chap 3 *śhreyān swa-dharmo viguṇaḥ para-dharmāt sv-anuṣhṭhitāt swa-dharme nidhanaṁ śhreyaḥ para-dharmo bhayāvahaḥ* It is far better to perform one’s natural prescribed duty, though tinged with faults, than to perform another’s prescribed duty, though perfectly. In fact, it is preferable to die in the discharge of one’s duty, than to follow the path of another, which is fraught with danger. Prescribed duty executed in law righteously with the devotion and thus rendering a meaningful life. That means copying others are unheeded and never needed too. 5 Chatur varna (means flavors or colours) was in vogue which fits even today bit bent to selfishness to achieve the adharmic results by the vested interests, for which the majority fell a pray. 1 A CLOSE UNIT SELF PROTECTION AS A WIDE NET TO THE SOCIETY AS A scholar, teacher, priest, intellectual, researcher, scientist, knowledge-seeker, or knowledge worker; One who has realized <https://www.yourdictionary.com/realized> or attempts to realize Brahman <https://www.yourdictionary.com/brahman>, i.e. God <https://www.yourdictionary.com/god> or supreme <https://www.yourdictionary.com/supreme> knowledge <https://www.yourdictionary.com/knowledge>; ONE WHO LIVES FOR THE SOCIETY A SACRIFICER WHO IS MAINTAINED BY THE SOCIETY; THE DOWNFALL OF THE SOCIETY IS THE DOWN FALL OF THE BRAHMIN AND MUTUALLY VICE VERSA. (Today this tribe is teachers, lecturers, scientists, administrators of law etc by book.). 2 The Nation and the people assets protectors restoring the rights in peace THE KASHATRIYA EVER AWAKE (TODAY THE ARMY, police, FORCES OF INTEGRITY AND THE SECURITIES) 3 The economic boosters to raise the steady standards of living whether gold bullion or silver in terms of barter or currency always on toes in a fashion outsiders rush to dwell in there called the Vysyas (Today the Economists, business houses, trades and trade centers and associations major tax payers) 4 All other labourers who have the muscle strength to produce and manufacture and remain a strong wall in times of war too called shudra. Today so many labourers technical personnel and reactors, assemblers etc etc. Castes came only in British time. Caste is also the groups of living together in a society; may be divisions of varnas; divisions by professions as a group; by language; by GODs; in short a kind of associations who has a common dharma and varna for the progress of the society. 6 Once the association is changed or destroyed and the motivations are annihilated the present way of life arise asundering the society and the peace.
