The book was first published in 1915 and explores the concept of dharma, a term used in Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism to refer to the principles that govern the universe and human behavior.In this book, Nivedita examines the differences and similarities between religion and dharma, and argues that dharma is a more comprehensive and universal concept than religion. She explores the various aspects of dharma, including its ethical and moral principles, its spiritual dimensions, and its role in society.Nivedita also discusses the relationship between dharma and social justice, arguing that dharma can be used as a tool for promoting equality and justice in society. She examines the ways in which dharma has been used to justify social hierarchies and oppression, and offers a vision for a more inclusive and egalitarian understanding of dharma.Throughout the book, Nivedita draws on her own experiences as a Western woman who converted to Hinduism and became a disciple of Swami Vivekananda. She offers insights into the challenges and rewards of living a life guided by dharma, and encourages readers to explore this ancient and profound concept for themselves.Overall, Religion and Dharma is a thought-provoking and insightful exploration of one of the most fundamental concepts in Indian philosophy and spirituality.
