Religion and Dharma is a book written by Nivedita, also known as Sister Nivedita, in 1915. The book explores the concepts of religion and dharma, which are central to Indian philosophy and spirituality. Nivedita was a disciple of Swami Vivekananda and her book is heavily influenced by his teachings.The book is divided into two parts. The first part discusses the nature of religion and its relationship with dharma. Nivedita argues that religion is a personal and subjective experience that cannot be defined by any one set of beliefs or practices. She also explores the role of dharma, which she defines as the inherent nature or duty of an individual. Nivedita suggests that dharma is the foundation of all religions and that it is through following one's dharma that one can achieve spiritual fulfillment.The second part of the book focuses on the practical application of religion and dharma in daily life. Nivedita discusses various aspects of Indian culture and tradition, such as the caste system, marriage, and the role of women. She also explores the concept of karma and how it relates to dharma.Throughout the book, Nivedita emphasizes the importance of self-realization and the pursuit of truth. She argues that religion and dharma can only be truly understood through personal experience and introspection. Nivedita's writing is insightful and thought-provoking, and her book remains a valuable resource for anyone interested in Indian philosophy and spirituality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
