This dharma is determined by two things: the karmas, both good and bad, from past lives; and the three dharmas of this life\u2014universal, human and social. Svadharma, \u201cone\u2019s own law,\u201d is molded by our background and experiences, tendencies and desires\u2014indicated by astrology\u2014all of which determine our personality, profession and associations. The key to discovering and understanding personal dharma is the worship of Lord Ga\u1e47e\u015ba, the God of memory, time and wisdom, who knows our past lives and can clarify our most perfect pattern, our right path in life. When we follow this unique pattern\u2014guided by guru, wise elders and the knowing voice of our soul\u2014we are content and at peace with ourselves and the world. Dharma is to the individual what its normal development is to a seed\u2014the orderly fulfillment of an inherent nature and destiny. A Vedic prayer implores, \u201cThat splendor that resides in an elephant, in a king, among men, or within the waters, with which the Gods in the beginning came to Godhood, with that same splendor make me splendid, O Lord.\u201d Aum Nama\u1e25 \u015aiv\u0101ya.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What Is the Nature of Personal Dharma? \u015aLOKA 60Personal law, or svadharma, is our own perfect individual pattern in life.
