Scholarly, pious souls of exceptional learning are the wise br\u0101hmins. Lawmakers and law-enforcers are the guardian kshatriyas. Bankers and businessmen are merchant vai\u015byas. Laborers, workers and artisans are \u015b\u016bdras. In addition to these four classes, or var\u1e47as, are hundreds of castes, or j\u0101tis. In Hindu societies, class and caste, which dictates one\u2019s occupation and community, is largely hereditary. However, these birth-imposed categories can be transcended by the ambitious who enter new careers through education, skill and persistence. Social dharma is fulfilled in adherence to the laws of our nation, to our community responsibilities and to our obligations among family and friends. A comprehensive system of duties, morals and religious observances make up God\u2019s law at work in our daily life. Rightly followed, var\u1e47a dharma enhances individual and family progress and ensures the continuity of culture. The Vedas say, \u201cWhen a man is born, whoever he may be, there is born simultaneously a debt to the Gods, to the sages, to the ancestors and to men.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is the Nature of Social Dharma? \u015aLOKA 58Social law, or var\u1e47a dharma, consists of the occupation, duties and responsibilities we must fulfill as a member of our nation, community and family.
