Dharma or religion is a way of living, it is also known as a thought process or belief that assimilates the society. Assimilating this thought process means integrating those thoughts in our day to day life and behavior. No one can live secular or temporal life; everyone has to take the support of one or other religion. Man is a social animal, and dharma or religion is the one which differentiates man from other animals. Dharma plays a vital role in transforming this animal into a “cultured human being”. Dharma is a breath of human life, as we cannot live without oxygen; likewise life is unimaginable without Dharma.
