Dharma Practice
Dharma is the natural state of any entity and when we resonate with that natural state, there is harmony, otherwise there is turbulence or adharma.
All entities, even big entities such as the Universe, Solar system, Earth and the societies we live in have a dharma or natural state which is the summation of desire of the people living therein to live in harmony.
In Bharat, this comprises our civilisation (rāṣtra), culture (saṃskriti), life-events (saṃskara), local practices (saṃpradaya), and festivals (utsava or pārvan) stitched together by Sanskrit (saṃskrtam).
In this section, we explore the nuances of each of the various aspects of Bhārat̍s dharma through articles and contributions from advanced yogīs.
