Reading
Dharma is a rich idea that can mean duty, right conduct, responsibility, and harmony. In stories like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, characters often face difficult dharma questions.
For children, dharma can begin simply: tell the truth, respect others, help family, study sincerely, and think before acting.
Dharma is not only a rule. It is a way to ask: what is the right thing to do in this situation?
