Dr Kumar Vishwas
What is dharma, and what does it mean to lose it?
Dharma is your essential quality
Dharma is the essential quality without which a thing is not what it is. For a human being that quality is humanness. A pashu is one who has no discernment about who is mother, sister or daughter, or whom one must not kill.
The essential quality of any substance, person, society or country, without which it would not be called what it is, is its dharma.
