Dharma – The Way of Transcendence

A philosophical exploration of the true meaning of dharma as the eternal function of the soul, based on the teachings of the Srimad Bhagavatam and explained by A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. The book distinguishes real dharma from temporary social, religious, or cultural duties. It explains that dharma is not merely a set of external rituals or moral codes, but the intrinsic nature of the living being—its eternal relationship with Krishna. When this relationship is forgotten, one becomes entangled in material existence. The book emphasizes that: • True dharma is universal and cannot be changed by circumstance. • Temporary duties (based on body, society, or belief) are secondary to the soul’s eternal function. • The highest form of dharma is loving devotional service. • All other forms of religion are incomplete if they do not awaken devotion to Krishna.
