It is variously defined as nature, the law of nature, that which supports, virtue, ethical law, merit, the potency of ethical actions, the right action, the law or the body of the doctrines of any faith, quality, characteristic, the law of the universe, reality, element, and category. The concept of dharma is all-encompassing of human activity in relation to itself in all its facets including spiritual realization, and in relation to the universe.

The religions such as Buddhism, Jainism are the offshoots of Sanatanadharma. Sanatanadharma is what constitutes the Indian psyche, philosophy, spirituality, its very way of life\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e The book Dharma deals in detail the principles of Sanathanadharma including ethics. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003e About the Author \u003c\/b\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eK.R.
