Tales of Lord Krishna
Duty and Dharma
Krishna emphasizes the importance of performing one’s duty (dharma) without attachment to the results. He advises Arjuna, a warrior prince, to fulfill his responsibilities
In Hindu principles, Dharma refers to an individual’s assignment, righteousness, and moral trustworthiness in growth. It is a course of honest living that upholds the cosmic order and supports unity in humankind. For Arjuna, welcoming dharma as a hero searches out cover justice (enlightenment buddha) and upholds fairness, even though it conveyed charm in the battle against his blood relative. Krishna guides him to deal with welcome charges without being influenced by individual desires or the fear of results.
