Sanskrit scholar Maurice Bloomfield referred to “DHARMA” as “one of the most important religious conceptions of the “Rigveda”, going on to note that, “from the point of view of the history of religious ideas we may, in fact we must, begin the history of Hindu religion at least with the history of this conception”.
Sanatan Way of Life
In the Vedic religion, “DHARMA” is the principle of natural order which regulates and coordinates the operation of the universe and everything within it. In the hymns of the Vedas, “DHARMA” is described as that which is ultimately responsible for the proper functioning of the natural, moral and sacrificial orders.
