Dharma is a concept that is not found in English vocabulary. It is definitely not religion. If a person has not understood dharma then the life that is led is that of a mere animal. That is what is missing in Nepal right now, because its education is deficient and influenced by the West. I know because I was also a victim of the system but managed to get out of enslavement that was designed a couple of centuries ago in India. After finding the path to enlightenment, I have started seriously study of dharma. I listend to more than 50 Upanishads over the past five years, and understood the foundation of our culture. I hope some of you will also start your spiritual path. Here is an excerpt from the reading for today.

Take an example. People used to celebrate sacrificial rites (yajnas) in ancient times, and they sacrificed animals (pasus) in these rites. But the animal is only a symbol. It was not the dumb creature that had to be cut to pieces. The animal leads a life of sacrifice, even without its career being completed at the sacrificial pole! The animal that has to be disemboweled and offered is different.

In the spiritual vocabulary, animal means “the bodyconsciousness”, “the I-consciousness”, and this is what has to be slaughtered. The Lord is known as Pasupathi or Govinda. Pasupathi means the Lord of all individuals (jivas), pasu meaning individual; and govinda means the guardian of cows or individuals, “go” meaning individual. The tending of cows is a symbolic play of Krishna to indicate His mission of tending individuals. The skriptures (sastras) have profound inner meanings. The aim of dharma is to make the individual (jiva) give up attachment to external nature and the illusion that it causes and to make it realize its reality or rather, unrealize what it has now taken as real so that it may stand revealed in its genuine identity.

What is Dharma?

Dharma is an act of doing right thing. Dharma is also an act that causes social and communal agitation/turmoil.

DP is right "Act of doing right" Quenching thrust to living things is the dharma of water and so on, It's explained by learned Sanskrit scholar. Similar philosophy may be in other social and culture around the world. But it was not explained and practiced rather manipulated for many reasons.
When people started pleasing rulers they started layers of rules and layers so they can be controlled by local level to rulers level and the value and norm of Dharma different direction.
Going to Temple, Church and Mosque become the part of Dharma. Doing right thing is being ethical. Now most unethical people go to Temple, church or Mosque to clean their sin.

In Hinduism your sin can be cleaned only by you but in Christianity they believe and preach " come to Christ, he will take your sin away" That is a fucked up message to people.

Once I have read a essay by Jyotirya Basu " धार्मिकता से नैतिकता कि ओर" : bottom line is powerful people so called god were doing many unethical things and in different situation they twist and turn to make their saying right. Example: You see Putin a dictator who is bombing Ukraine.

In present situation : Dharma is not doing right thing rather showing off.

How do we know 'what is right' and what is wrong'?

Is eating meat right or wrong?

रुसले युक्रेन मा गरेको ठिक गर्यो कि बेठिक ? चीनले समर्थन जनायो उ ठिक कि बेठिक ?
ट्रंपले चुनाब चोर्यो भनि बिस्वास गर्ने ठिक कि बेठिक ?
कोभिड खोप को बिरुद्दमा चकका जाम गर्ने ठिक कि बेठिक ?
ठिक ठानेर रात र दिन एकै बनाउने ठिक कि बेठिक ?
आधा गिलास पानि कि आधा भरि पानि ?
चितुवा गाउ छिरेर घरेलु जनावर लग्यो , ठिक कि बेठिक ?
चिलले परेवा खाइदियो , ठिक कि बेठिक ?
प्रश्न कै लागि प्रश्न ठिक कि बेठिक ?

यिनका उत्तर आफै पाउनुस अनि तपाइको प्रश्नको उत्तर पनि आफै पाउनु हुन्छ कि जस्तो लाग्छ ?

So, in essence, we get to understand that whatever the world has placed in place as dharma is not the real deal, It is a part of a temporal world and an illusion. The only true dharma is the atmic-dharma, which is eternal and applicable to all the humanity.

In essence, dharma is living in truth and acting with love. As a social animal, a human's dharma is to act in the best interest of the society, not his own personal interest.

Dharma in practice is to live in God consciousness, or universal consciousness. Standing up for justice and good or the majority is also dharma. Satwik is dharma, tamasic is adharma. Anything done in narrow self-interest is adharma. Living in untruth is adharma. So basically Dharma is living in truth and love because it benefits everyone. 

@surendra... Is eating meat dharma or adharma?

Is driving car dharma or adharma?

I want to hear your perception on my act.
I went hunting this Saturday. I shot a deer and some ducks. I really had nice party with the friends with whisky and deer meet.
On Sunday morning, I went to राजधानी मन्दीर and did some पूजा. I also donated some money to Saint Jude Children's hospital.
भनुस न अब मैले पाप गरे कि धर्म ?

You don’t need Dharma to do the right things. You do the right things because you are a good person. You don’t need to be “profiled” as dharmic for that.

Today's excerpt:

Do you absolutely need to drive your own car or maybe public transportation could be used - taking public transportation transfers the dharma to the driver? Do u drive a car or take public transportation?

UJL,
What is the relation or correlation of dharma and a public transportation?
He/she may ask another question: a married man is making love to his wife (getting and giving pleasure) is dharma or not? If it is dharma then if he fucks other women wouldn't be dharma too?

I remember my profession saying " Don't bullshit to bullshit / for bullshit" when he was asking question which was not relevant to the subject.

What is the relation or correlation of dharma and a public transportation? who the fck told you it is not relevant to the subject?

Fuck off. Who the fuck you are?? You are bullying now? It is your DHARMA to make yourself great degrading / Bullying/ using filthy mouth to other.
Did I ask you that Question? Do not react for no reason and you are acting like a retard. Are doing it because I deleted your nonsense comment ?

I just asked a question to UJL, I wanted to hear what and how he is going to elaborate it. In past he was talking about spiritual subjects.

What the fuck your driver and transportation question to Dharma ? Are you trying to get answer or you see Dharma on it?

Who else the fck has talked about transportation in this thread. Welcome to the team since you are using filthy mouth as well.
Are you getting triggered because you cannot delete my comment here. Take a chill pill getting angry is not good and is ADharma

Ok lets say your are a gay and your parents married you forcefully and since you are a gay and cannot screw your wife do you become adharma?
