Dharma

“From Dharma flow wealth and pleasure. Then why is dharma not pursued?”
Mahabharata put this question in front of us and the other un-answered question in the epic is from Draupadi who asked Yudhishtira when he lost her on the game of dice “Whom did you lose first, yourself or me?” And none was able to answer this question except giving some reasons. “Dharma” is the word or an idea described in Rigveda and it has evolved and enriched itself through a process of contestation and adaptation. So the meaning of dharma is evolving and will evolve till this world exists.
