Concept of Dharma in Bhagavad Gita : A Study

Abstract

In India, philosophy, religion and morality are inesperable from one another. Concept of dharma is the central principle of Hindu morality. Human existence will be meaningless if we ignore this basic fact of life, that is, dharma. As such each individual has his own responsibilities or dharma unique to one’s nature or position. In doing one’s duties an individual faces certain universal moral questions that is, What should I ought to do ? or How should I ought to do ? This paper is basically meant to analyse these questions of morality through Gita’s concept of dharma with a special emphasis on Svadharma.
