          being  based  on  divine  knowledge  in  the  form  of  sacred  thread,  preaches  the  rules,
          principles, behaviour, thoughts, and actions for all human beings, irrespective of country,
          time, or tradition. That is why this religion is based on human values and is absolute (िनरपे ).
          So our Vedas have said वेदोऽ खलो धम मूल. (The entire Veda is the root source of Dharma.).
                                            ं
          As Bhagwan Manu, who is known as the first human in the world created by Lord Brahma, has
          said,

                                    धृित:  मा दमोऽस्तेयं शौचिमन्ि  यिन ह:।


                                                        ं
                                    धीिव  ा सत्यम ोधो दशक धम ल णम्।।
         The fact that humans are multireligious is thought to be their primary trait.
         This, according to Vedic tradition, is how the world unites: “य  िव  भव ेक पम”. The whole
                                                                       ं
                                                                                  ्
         world  becomes  one  family,  and  humans  become  “िव   मानवी”  according  to  the  Vedas
         proclamation to make the world a better place to live.
         Bhagwan Manu has created the constitution for the religion, and all considered that, as
         DHARMA GRANTH, if we don't follow the Constitution, chaos will arise. There are some
         characteristics of religion; one is that “that which holds, collects, is called "religion." Religion
         sustains (saves) the people.”  धारणात धम इ ा ः  धम  धारयित  जाः ।. The next characteristic is that

                                           ्
         the DHARMA is served by the best scholars who have no malice and no grudges and who can
         be accepted by the heart.
                                     ुितः   ृितः  सदाचारः     च ि यमा नः ।
                                     एत तुिव धं  ा ः  सा ा म   ल णम् ।।
         Shruti Vedas, Smriti Vedas as per Manu Smriti, etc. scriptures, conduct of good men which
         are eternal, i.e., the deeds prescribed by God through Vedas, and those who are dear to the
         soul, i.e., those whom the soul loves, such as speaking the truth, are the characteristics of
         four religions, i.e., religion and unrighteousness. is determined. To answer what is good
         conduct, Manu said,
                                           े
                                    य  न् दशे य आचार: पार य  मागतः  ।
                                     वणा ना सा रालाना स सदाचार उ ते ।।
         The customs of the country in which the customs have been passed down are traditional.
         That which is between the Varnas is called virtuous conduct, and that is known as Manav-
         Dharma. Our philosophers thought that the thing that leads to the progress of human society
         is religion. The specialty of Vedic religion is that it is inexhaustible, and divine knowledge is
         based on knowledge beyond the limit of time or place. That’s the reason, as the Vedas
         preach, संग   संवद , स वो मनांिस जानताम; May you move in harmony, speak in one voice, and
                                              ्
                                ं
                              ं
                       ं
         let your minds be in agreement, just as the ancient gods shared their portion of sacrifice.
                                         समानो म : सिमित: समानी
                                          समानं मन: सहिच मेषाम्
                                          समानं म मिभम ये व:

                                         समानेन वो हिवषा जुहोिम ||


                                                                                          35
