Jai Shri Krishna

Dharma (Means to attain overall upliftment)

Physical and mental well-being of the human being depend on the food and learning. Only those who have sound body and sound mind can make progress in their life. But how does the Jivatma (individual-soul) that enables us to speak, walk and think, makes development?

The human soul is made sublime by practicing Dharma. Hence, the means of sublimating the soul is called ‘Dharma’. Who made this Dharma? In reply to this question it is stated in Bhagavat-Mahapurana:

Dharmam su saksad bhagavatpranitam.

Meaning: Bhagavan himself has constituted Dharma-Niyama (dos and donts for mankind).

Dharma is a godly constitution for betterment of the mankind. This constitution is carefully preserved by the primitive sages in the holy scriptures like Veda, Sutra, Smriti and Purana etc. This scriptures are known as Shastra. Shastra means: The sacred writings which regulate, guide or rule human conducts. If one follows Dharma, Bhagavan is certainly pleased with him. That is why one should practive Dharma. Ultimately the real sublimation of human beings lies only in Bhagavan’s pleasure.
