Dr. Ranganji enthralled us with multiple stories based on just two words to drive home the point of Dharma! Dharma is that by which abhyudaya and Niḥśreyasa (two new words introduced) are accomplished And pointed out the subtle difference between the two as seen below That which offers us immediate difficulty followed by prolonged joy is abhyudaya That which may give us immediate difficulty followed by eternal delight is niśreyasa Abhyudaya was discussed in very great detail

In this video, Shri Dr. Ranganji recaps what is NOT dharma, and then discusses how any bhoga vastu which promises immediate pleasure leading to prolonged misery is against Dharma. An example of the food we consume indiscriminately as actually what consumes us, and how to use our discriminatory judgment to avoid those, the importance of protecting mother Earth, and the concept of "Dharmo rakṣati rakṣitaḥ" (Dharma protects those who protect it)

Class 1 of "What is Dharma?" is the understanding of "What is not dharma"

About the Event In this lecture, the speaker discusses the eternal values that the vedas provide and how they are applicable to every day life in these modern times. Passion for universal welfare is the basis of all human values. Vedic Samhita contains the praises of various Goddesses and Gods. They all are the archetypes and symbols of various esoteric principles and cognitive forces connected to the universal welfare. In exoteric sense they are the symbolic representations of various natural elements seen around. But their esoteric spirit is less explored by the researchers. This talk shall throw some light on their esoteric spirit from which humans can derive deeper values for the world peace. Being virtuous is different from becoming virtuous. This discourse is to show how the Veda can guide to be virtuous. About the speaker Dr. Ranganji sculpts and develops tomorrow’s leaders from a variegated background with no distinction on the caste and a deep focus on enhancing Vedic cognizance into the path of spirituality through Yoga, and Ramayana text.
