Dharma
A central concept in Sanatan Vedic Dharma (Hinduism) and Indian philosophy, dharma may be translated as truth, justice, and duty. It refers to the central purpose of a particular being, as well as the correct path that she or he should follow in this world. Dharma also describes a conduct defined by truth and justice, which is divinely commanded. Populated with perfect characters, the Ramayana offers a playbook for how to behave with virtue and dharma in the world.
