Description:
“धर्ममूलमिदं जगत्, धर्मो रक्षति रक्षितः” is the slogan used by many Indian philosophers which states that Dharma is the substratum of the Universe. Those who follow Dharma will reap its benefits. Here, the word Dharma does not refer to the codes of conduct of any particular religion but is used in a broader sense as acknowledged in the Honourable Supreme Court statement that says ‘Dharma is that which upholds, nourishes or supports the stability of the society, maintains the social order and secures the general well-being and progress of mankind’. It is the binding factor that enhances sustainability and the welfare of society. It also helps in the overall personality development of an individual.
This course will enable the aspirants to understand the concept of Dharma in the light of Valmiki Ramayana.
