The Hindi word "dharma" encompasses a broad and nuanced concept that goes beyond the Western notion of religion. It signifies duty, righteousness, and ethical living, reflecting an individual's responsibilities to themselves, society, and the cosmos. In the Indian context, dharma emphasizes the importance of moral conduct and the interconnectedness of life, suggesting that spirituality is intertwined with daily actions and societal roles. This holistic understanding positions dharma as a guiding principle for harmonious living, rather than merely a set of beliefs or rituals.

How was Hinduism first found?

There was no religion called Hindusim. It is the people who invaded India called people of India as Hindus. So, the way of life they practiced became Hindusim. But, Hindus never called themselves Hindus to start with. Hindu actually means Indian. Bharath, always believed in Dharma. Contrary to what people know or think, Dharma is above Religion. Religion is a set of beliefes, faiths, customs, treditions where as Dharma is the Gospel Truth of life. It is the law of Nature. This is what people in India believed thousands of years ago when there was no religion at all. So, the answer is Dharma i.e., the law of nature which is older than all religions and was followed by all Hindus (Indians) at that time always existed, perhaps even before the start of Indus Valley civilization. Another interesting fact is that, Hinduim minus the superstitions, customs and traditions is almost like Budhism. So, Budha actually brought in to light the real Dharma that people forgot about. Unfortunate, his preachings were termed as a religion. It is now followed as a religion but, not viewed as an absolute Dharma of a Human being. There was no religion called Hindusim.
