Om den här e-boken

The word dharma, originally from the Sanskrit, refers to the inherent, unchanging nature of something – sugar’s dharma is to be sweet, water’s dharma is to be wet, and fire’s dharma is to emit heat and light. Dharma also refers to our natural duty. We humans have ordinary dharma and an ultimate dharma that relates to who we are at soul level. That dharma requires that we ask existential questions and then seek ultimate answers – questions such as Who am I? Why am I here? and What is my ultimate purpose?


Dharma, the Way of Transcendence is a compilation of lectures on human dharma given by His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada in 1972 as he toured India. Here he teaches that the dharma of all humans and every other living embodied soul – is service. No one can exist for a moment without serving someone or something else, even if it’s only the mind and senses. So the question is, whom or what can we serve if we want to be truest to ourselves?

Om författaren

His Divine Grace A. C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada (1896–1977) is the author Bhagavad-gita As It Is, the most widely read commentary on the Bhagavad-gita in the world, along with a multivolume commentated translation of the eighteen-thousand-verse Srimad-Bhagavatam (Bhagavata Purana). He also wrote Easy Journey to Other Planets. Before he passed away in 1977 he wrote more than fifty volumes of authoritative commentated translations and summary studies of the philosophical and religious classics of India. Highly respected by scholars for their authority, depth, and clarity, his writings have been translated into over eighty languages. In just twelve years after arriving in the United States in 1965, despite his advanced age, Srila Prabhupada established the International Society for Krishna Consciousness and then circled the globe fourteen times on lecture tours that took him to six continents. In spite of such a vigorous schedule, Srila Prabhupada continued to write prolifically. His writings constitute a veritable library of Vedic philosophy, religion, literature and culture.
