DharmaJuly‘Dharma’ is many a time translated as righteousness. Our scriptures say, ‘ifyou protect righteousness, the righteousness shall protect you.’4. Forgiveness, Non-Violence and FearlessnessHindus believe that all life is sacred, to be loved and revered. ThereforeHindus practice non-violence. Development of qualities like non-violence andforgiveness require fearlessness and strength. The story of Swami Dayanandais a very good example in this context. Once, during one of his discourses,a misguided man, Karansingh, approached him in anger and with a swordin his hand. Swami Dayananda quickly grabbed his arm and wrenched thesword. He broke it by pressing its point to the ground. But when the man,Karansingh, felt ashamed and guilty, he forgave him without keeping anythingin mind.5. Contentment and GenerosityWe should be satisfied with what we are and what we have. There is nouse of being a part of the rat race or unnecessary comparison and competition.We should not be greedy but generous. Greediness normally leads to the evilthoughts in mind.6. Service and SacrificeHindus consider that the service to other is a virtue; giving pain to otheris a sin. Giving and sharing is one of the values preached relentlessly in Hinduscriptures. We need to be prepared to make sacrifices and be patient. Servingthe society is not optional but the duty of every hindu.List of Hindu values is not completed here. Our sages (or scriptures)and saints have listed enormous “DO’s” and “DONT’s” for each and everyindividual to lead proper, right and balanced life and to make not only Hindusbut everyone happy and satisfied. One of the best ways of practicing HinduDharma is to learn them and inculcate them in our life.Hindu Swayamsevak Sangh (HSS)11
