What is Dharma? When Arjuna approaches the battle field of Kurukshetra, he
got confused about his duties, his religion and what he should do. Lord
Krishna showed him the path of righteousness and guided Pandava to victory.
Today, in each of us lie Arjun, fighting incessantly with the might of
Kaurava. Our minds are filled with questions: how to perform our duties?
What is our true religion? Staying in our own field, how should we worship
God?
‘Dharma No Marma’ is devoted to Question-Answers. The title of the book
‘Dharma No Marma’ is significant. ‘Dharma’ means religion and ‘Marma’ means
essence. In these days the true meanings of religion is forgotten and in the
name of religion variety of things have become popular. It is therefore the
need of an hour to know what exactly ‘dharma’ is. The aim of this book is to
help find those answers.
Is it necessary to do sandhya (a ritual performed three times in a day)? Can
women perform spiritual austerities while in menstrual course? Do
‘Anusthans’ help in self-realization? What happens when soul leaves physical
body? Do planets affect our destiny in any way? How Yogic sleep differs from
ordinary sleep? How to concentrate our mind? How to experience self? Why
ascetics apply ash on their body? Is it true that poison was converted into
nectar in case of Meerabai? What is the aim of life? Is there any way a
person can be immortal? Why jewelry and other articles are stolen from
temples?
Answers to such questions are found in this book. These question answers
were regularly published in ‘Phoolchhab’ and ‘Janmabhoomi Pravasi’
newspapers. The book is the compilation of all such articles.
