    Your Dharma: That is what you ought to do, is yours


    alone.
    People might not understand you Dharma and your
    beliefs may seem alien to them.

    But in the end, everyone has a place in the world, and


    a role to fill.

    Dharma sees the world as a criss-cross pattern.


    Dharma is the duties a Hindu should follow in their life.
    There are various types of dharma for a Hindu. Some
    are personal duties and some are eternal duties,
    meaning that they are for everyone. Dharma or duties
    are expected of all Hindus, and Hindus should live their
    lives with these in mind. Dharma is one of the four
    main aims in a Hindu’s life. In Hinduism, people’s
    thoughts and behaviours store up karma, which affects
    their afterlives. This is one reason why Hindus try to
    behave good. Hindus believe that the Supreme Being
    has revealed dharma to people through Hindu
    scriptures and that to follow dharma successfully is to
    achieve their deepest and purest purpose. Following
    dharma carefully is likely to create good karma and
    cause a good reincarnation in the next life.

    He teaches us that our dharma depends on our stage


    of life.
