A word on "Dharma"

Being  regularly irregular reader of ancient Indian texts (commonly mistaken as Spiritual/ Religious or Myth)Always found answers to the question constantly arise in flow of life. As mentioned I don't consider Vedas, Upanishads, Aaranyak and for that matter Ramayana and Mahabharata as literature of religion or myth. As those grand books were flowing with blood in veins and arteries of Indians much before invention of the word religion and Myth. whatever little I read, Actual  translation of the word Religion is still unknown to me. If your mind has translated it as "Dharma" then with sincere apologies I must say meaning of dharma crosses the boundary Drawn by meaning of Religion. To be more precise Religion is defined in popular culture as Faith and worship of Super human controlling authority , may be God or gods. While Dharma in Sanskrit literally means one who hold is dharma. Something which holds you is dharma. in simpler terms Being a Chef Managing food production is my duty , My existence as a chef is only when I perform that duty. So performing my duty holds my existence as a chef , So Managing food production is my Dharma (which holds My existence as a Chef). My dharma changes with each role i perform in this world. As a Son, As a Husband , As a Father , As a Brother , and so on and so forth. In each case My duties changes and so My Dharma. My duties towards the superhuman power which controls the world is My Religion ( Just a small part of my Larger Dharma).

Coming back to the beginning I pen down following points
1. As that literature  doesn't only talk about God/gods they cannot be termed as religious literature.
2. As few of them are believed ( By faith) as historical events of Indian subcontinent cannot be termed as Myth.

As I believe in this my writings will be influenced by them at many stages. Apart from that I wanted to clarify term Dharma as it is the first word of the evergreen theory of Management , popularly known as Gita. on which I am trying to explain my understanding of this phenomenal literature.
