Dharma is a very complex word. The concept of dharma is verily the core of our religion. In fact, the right name for our religion is 'Santana Dharma' which means 'Eternal Dharma'.
The word 'Hinduism' has become a common word in the modern world. The real fact is that words like Hinduism, Hindu, etc. never appear in any of the ancient scriptures! So to know our religion, the first step is to know what dharma means.
Loosely defined, dharma means ' that which we have to wear/follow/practice'. Dharma is not something to be preached. It is something to be followed. It can be defined as the sum total of all the values which we should follow in our lives.
The word, “dharma “is found in the karikas, which means Atma in Advaita Vedanta.
In Tattireya Upanishad:~ "satyaM vada . dharmaM cara ." Speak the truth, practice dharma. Now if you want to practice dharma, you should first know what it means. (1.11.1)
