From North East Area Committee “Micchami Dukkadam”

Dharma Dharma is that which supports you, prevents you from falling. The real cause of misery lies deep within ourselves. It needs to be eradicated because dharma and misery can’t co-exist.

It nourishes, maintains, harmonizes and unites you.

Dharma is not only for the temple, but is to be incorporated in every facet of life. It shows you the way to live, so it should be practical and universal - a religion of ahimsa, truth, good conduct, equality, compassion, universal fraternity and love. Religion will be great and beneficial to mankind in the proportion it emphasizes these values of humanity.

Dharma has to be realized through insight at the experiential level – not a mere intellectual game. It must be applied to daily life. Applied Dharma is nothing but an art of living as it keeps one happy and contented in all situations.

Dharma will not get rid of your sorrow or suffering but will give you the strength to face it. Dharma gives a purpose to life – gives you a path of Self-development – gives you a goal and the way to achieve that focus.

Dharma explains who you are, what this world is, who god is and the inter-relation of all three. True religion depends upon your efforts to give to the small drop of love within your heart the dimensions of the sea.

The aim of religion is to liberate you from weaknesses, temptations and passions and finally it seeks to liberate you from the cycle of birth and death. The yardstick of dharma is, ‘is my mind getting purified or not?’ Binaben Shah, Nairobi
