Dharma refers to everything one does to connect with the truth from birth to death, through all activities, times of day, and places around the world. It includes not just religious and scientific activities, but all spiritual and yoga practices aimed at realizing the underlying truth and harmony of the universe. Dharma's purpose is the welfare of all mankind across religions and regions, as well as the entire universe. Intellectual pursuits without emotional appreciation can lead to disjointed thinking and conflict between groups, causing chaos. The essence of Dharma can be found everywhere truth is pursued, from individuals and communities to schools and workplaces. All forms of thought must mature into Dharma insights in order for the world to

1. DHARMA

2. Everything one does to connect with the truth
right from the birth to death, in every season,
through out 24 hours and in any corner of the
world is DHARMA. Not only all religious and
scientific activities, but all spiritual and yoga
activities aimed at realizing the truth, (that
holds the universe together in harmony), are
essentially parts of DHARMA.
DHARMA is meant for not only mankind
belonging to different religions and regions;
and his welfare but for the welfare of whole
universe and its inmates!
The RAJOGUNA leads to lopsided, analytical
and reductionist thinking bereft of holistic
perspective. This thinking leads to a kind of
animosity between theist, atheist, spiritual,
material ideologies and different religions.
Intellectual conviction, without emotional
appreciation and instinctual fervor, leads to

3. thinking in one way, feeling in another way
and yearning through passions in yet another
way! This is precisely the cause of chaos in the
global and individual life.
The essence of DHARMA is in every
individual, house, hospital, school, college,
university, industry and laboratory. It is in
farms and it is in gymnasia and for that
matter; everywhere. It is everywhere,
wherever there is search and pursuit of truth
through any activity.
All varieties of religious, scientific and
ideological thinking; must ultimately mature
and blossom into insights of DHARMA if the
world inmates are to experience the innate
universal unity and harmony.
It is said that NAMASMARAN is one activity
that lets us identify and overcome this chaos

4. at individual and global level and experience
the innate universal unity and harmony. One
can patiently practice and verify this
statement.
