Guest guest Posted August 17, 2002 Report Share Posted August 17, 2002 I've always wondered about this. How do I determine what my Dharma is ? My profession is engineering, my sister works for a regulatory agency, my father worked for a government organization. As far as I understand it during the time of the Mahabharata your Dharma was determined largely by the circumstances of your birth. In these days what are the circumsatances that determine what your Dharma is ? Is your Dharma dependent on the choices you have made ? (I have a wife and kid- so is my Dharma "providing" for them ?) Sorry if I've rambled on :-} I'd appreciate your thoughts on this.
