What is paradharma?

Your dharma is the stream of consciousness leading you from birth to birth towards the fulfillment of your and your's dharma purpose.

When this fulfillment happens the experience of Moksha (liberation) is realized by the one who has accomplished this fulfillment. Only then your full potential is untapped.

There are two main streams of Moksha realization: savikalpa and nirvikalpa.

Savikalpa (with roots) - this means you have realized the Moksha, but some bounds are still bounding you to the world (e.g. unresolved karma, etc....).

Nirvikalpa (without roots) - this means you have surpassed any bounds bounding you to this world and you are not any longer bound to it. Many of such freed souls will not return to this world for long time then.

After this either (savikalpa or nirvikalpa) realization, the "more subtle" principles of what is called Paradharma will begin to draw your attention. The paradharma is therefore a collection of principles transcending the concept and notion of dharma which one can't implicitly understand without having his own dharma fulfilled.

This is the reason why many tantric schools required at least savikalpa moksha as minimum requirement for being allowed to study in them - as their attention was paradharma.

Few notes to this:

- It doesn't matter in which live you have experienced savikalpa moksha. It doesn't have to be this live. If you have experienced it in one of your previous lives, it's deemed enough.

- If you have experienced savikalpa in one of your previous lives, your soul will know it without the doubt of any reason. This is quite different from your mind trying to convince itself about that it actually happened.

- It's quite probable then that the fullfilment of dharma will happen again in many of your succeeding lives as the wheel of dharma has been speeded up in you by your centralisation. This is advanced topic thou well beyond any simple answers.
