Righteous Deed

Hinduism is the just way of life, and consists of many different traditions includes Saivism, Vaishnavism and Saktism Ganapatyam among many other traditions, and a wide range of laws and instructions based on karma, dharma, and their customs activities, etc.

Hinduism is a "oldest religion" the other word is Sanadhana dharma "the eternal law" beyond human origins. It prescribes the "eternal" duties, such as honesty, mercy, purity, self-restraint, among others .

Ancient texts are classified into Śruti and Smriti .

These texts talk about theology, philosophy, mythology, Vedic yajna and agamic rituals and temple building, all kind of sciences and other topics. Major scriptures include the Mahabharata, Ramayana, Bhagavad Gita, Puranas, Manusmṛti, and Agamas and all other Smriti.

What is Dharma? because it holds; Dharma alone holds the people, etc. The word Dharma is derived from the root Dhr....to hold....and its etymological meaning is ‘that which holds’ this world, or the whole creation from the tiny to huge. Dharma supports this world.

Dharma includes all external deeds, as well as thoughts and other mental practices which tend to elevate the character of man. Dharma comes from the Divine and leads you to the Divine.

The purva mimmasa is called Dharma mimamsa.Dharma this word denotes many meanings. For example Ramayanam speaks Dharma through Lord Sri Rama. He was a clean observer of moral and all kinds of Dharma. such as ‘law’, ‘order’, ‘duty’, ‘custom’, ‘quality’, moral'. Ethics'. Sri Rama avathar is called Dharma Avathar. He not only overcame 'adharma' (evil forces) but also taught mankind how to lead a perfect life of truthfulness, kindness, obeisance to parents etc.

Another important practice is in a normal life Dharma is offerings example if a beggar ask some help means giving ten rupees is called dharma , perhaps if one support him and arrange a definite piece of work to him for his life this is also called dharma.

Here is a prime example in epic Mahabharatam. The two characters are Karnan and Dharmaputrer. Karnan offered every thing including his life armor, still he could not enter to the paradise of ultimate realization because he did not offered any food to eat so that was the mistake he did, but Darmar he did not offer any offerings except ritual occasions, but he was following the righteous that is why Dharmar entered to paradise got ultimate realization. this is the essence of Uttara Mimmamsa Dharmam.

All Dharma Sastras originated from Vedas and Upanishats. 
Traditionally Dharma is the foundation of the life. It is moral law combined with spiritual discipline that guides one's life. Dharma mean righteousness, morality, religion, responsibility, duty and practice of religious disciplines, honesty, non-violence.

The purpose of dharma is not only to help one’s life come closer to God, but it also advise a code of conduct that is intended to secure both worldly pleasure and eternal bliss. The practice of dharma gives an experience of happiness, strength, calmness; peacefulness; serenity.

Dharma as the natural universal law. It is experimental of natural event accepting one's situation or life with temperament and satisfaction. for example in epic Mahabharatham Drthirashrara whose knowledge is incomplete,who lives more in thought and less in action,who gathers wealth through illicitly who abstains from self duty,who occupied completely his brother's part of wealth ,and who damages his own brother's children life so it is considered as a foolish act and destruction nature, Pandavas were keeping quiet,. in this place patience is Dharmam.

Dharma is the moral law combined with spiritual discipline that guides one's life.

The Bhagavatha Puranam says dharmic path has the four aspects: they are austerity , purity , compassion and truthfulness ;

Manusmriti prescribes 10 essential rules for the observance of dharma: Patience, forgiveness , piety self control , honesty , sanctity , control of senses , reason, knowledge , truthfulness and absence of anger . further it says , "Non-violence, ,avoiding wrongful desires, purity of body and mind, control of senses are the essence of dharma". Hence dharmic laws regulate apart from individual it is applicable to the whole world.

The prime example for truthfulness and honesty The king Harichandra Sri Rama's ancestor Soorya dynasty his legend is very popular and often told as a standard for an ideal life. He was famous for his righteousness and justice. His name is in Sanskrit meaning "having golden splendor". Harishchandra had two unique qualities. The first being, he kept his word and never went back on what he verbalized as a promise. The other being, he never uttered a lie in his life. These twin qualities were tested heavily in his life by various circumstances that led him to extreme poverty and separation from his family. Even though he stood to his principles in the face of all ordeals and persevered to become a symbol of courage. This nature is called 'Suya dharma' and also he was a protector of Kshatriya Dharma.

The purpose of dharma is not only to attain a union of the soul with the supreme reality, it also advises a code of conduct that is intended to secure both worldly joys and supreme happiness. Hinduism is the religion that conveys methods for the attainment of the highest ideal and eternal bliss . For example, one's dharma is stage by stage first education, respectful job, honestly earning , marry from a descent family , elevate family and provide wealth for that family at last do penance or do all the spiritual duties ultimately seek gods realization. this kind of practice of dharma gives an experience of peace, joy, strength and tranquility within oneself and makes life controlled manner . It refers to the order and customs which make life in peace as well as the universal peace, this is called virtuous Dharma.

The aim of Dharma as duty or propriety is found in ancient legal and religious texts. In Hindu philosophy, justice, social harmony, and happiness requires that people live per dharma. The Dharmashastra is a record of these guidelines and rules. The available evidence had a large collection of dharma related literature (sutras, shastras); four of the sutras survive and these are now referred to as Dharmasutras. Along with laws of Manu in Dharmasutras, exist parallel and different publication of laws, such as the laws of Narada and other ancient scholars. These Dharmasutras include instructions on education of the young, their rites of passage, customs, religious rites and rituals, marital rights and obligations, death and ancestral rites, laws and administration of justice, crimes, punishments, rules and types of evidence, duties of a king, as well as morality.

Bhishma says in his instructions to Yudhishthira that whatever creates conflict is Adharma, and whatever puts an end to conflict and brings about unity and harmony is Dharma. Anything that helps to unite all and develop pure divine love and universal relation ship, is Dharma. Anything that creates discord, split and disharmony and agitate hatred, is Adharma. Dharma is the irenic cementer and sustained of social life. The rules of Dharma have been laid down for regulating the worldly affairs of men. Dharma brings as its consequence happiness, in this world. Dharma means preserving one’s self. If you break it, it will destroy you. If you protect it, it will protect you. It is your sole companion after death. It is the sole refuge of humanity.

This one kind of dharma. another definition. Dharma is that which leads you to the path of perfection and glory. Dharma is that which helps you to have direct communion with the Lord. Dharma is that which makes you divine. Dharma is the ascending staircase unto God. Self-realization is the highest Dharma. Dharma is the heart of ethics. God is the center of Dharma.

Dharma means Acharam or the regulation of daily life. Acharam is the supreme Dharma. It is the basis of austerity. It leads to wealth, beauty, longevity and continuity of lineage. Evil conduct and immorality will lead to ill-fame, sorrow, disease and premature death. Dharma has its root in morality and the controller. Dharma is Almighty of god.
