Concept of Hindu Dharma: Its Contours and Complexities / Gupta, Alok Kumar   Journal Article
Gupta, Alok Kumar Journal Article
0 Rating(s) & 0 Review(s)
Summary/Abstract Dharma as a concept is unfathomable, and that is the beauty and gravity of the term. Its meaning depends on the context in which it is used. One may equate the term with kindred words like: duties, rights, conduct, behaviour, morality, righteousness, religion, goodness, justice, laws, virtue, right to rule, to name a few; yet its meaning is all encompassing but incomplete. It should rather be understood in terms of harmonious achievement of different aspects and needs of one’s life which may include artha, kama, moksha, yet it is nowhere to be related or limited with the meaning of religion.
