True Meaning or significance of Dharma

[Guest guest]

If we protect Dharma, Dharma will protect us "

 

Protection of Dharma does not mean mere adoration of Dharma. It is

the effort of placing Principle of Dharma into practice. Everyone of

us desires, for supreme happiness not only in this birth but also in

subsequent births or Janmas. No one will wish to have sufferings or

sorrow in any birth.

 

" Dharma grants happiness and peace. Adharma makes life miserable

with agony and sorrow " says our Shastra.

 

What is the true meaning or significance of Dharma?

 

Dharma means: Helping the poor and the needy

 

Dharma means: Worshipping and obeying God

 

Dharma means: To be in the company of persons with purity and virtues

 

Dharma means: Listening and understanding matters that reflect

divine values and virtues.

 

Dharma teaches not to be avaricious to possess others wealth.

 

Dharma is Ahimsa. It is merciful nature not to harm any one at any

time.

 

 

Humanity should always remember and accept one virtue

concept. " Others are like me. Just like I have joy and sorrow, they

have also the same. If someone abuses or hurts me, it pains. It is

in the same way the other person will also suffer, If I abuse him.

Therefore what I do not wish to happen to me,should not happen to

others also.

 

These values and virtues are universal.

 

" Athmana : prathi koolani paresham na samachareth "

 

are the words of guidance from sastras on these virtues.

 

" Don't do to others what is harmful to you " is the meaning of the

above verse.

 

 

Violence is a great sin. Non violence is the path of Dharma. If we

wish to live in peace, Happiness and Harmony, we should live with

love and faith.

 

 

Peace will not be there, where lust and anger dwells. Only when we

drop our lust and anger, we would be able to live with true

Happiness and in peace.

 

 

We are all entering into a New Century and into a New Millennium.

The priority of our life should be to practise Dharma.

 

 

For ages, our sacred country India, has been in the task of teaching

and preaching the message of peace or shanti to the world.

 

We should continue the task, with more commitment in the New Century

spreading the message of Love, Peace and Harmony throughout the

world.

 

 

We require God's grace in all our thoughts and deeds. Therefore we

must pray to god with devotion, whenever we start any new activity.

 

 

Our ego and selfishness should be totally dropped as ego is the root

cause of our evil deeds. Hence everyone should function totally

devoid of ego or " Ahankara "

 

 

All the wisdom, capabilities and power that we possess are

mercifully granted to us by God.Let us take an oath " to use all our

wisdom,capabilities and power in the service of god and in the

service of Humanity "

 

Compelled By:

I bless one and all to follow Dharma and to prosper in life and to

live with peace, progress, prosperity and happiness.
