ABSTRACT | ||
We generally know that the word 'Dharma' is derived from the root 'Dhri' and the suffix 'Mana', which means to hold. Therefore, it can be said that what holds is Dharma. Bankim Chandra refers to the Religion of Humanity as Dharma. In his book 'Dharmattva', he has recognized four faculties of man, namely: one, physical faculty, two, knowledge-seeking faculty, three, practical faculty, and four, mental-pleasing faculty. The practice, development, and fulfillment of these faculties is humanity. According to him, the proper practice and mutual harmony of all these faculties is true humanity and this is human religion. And the true human religion depends on this practice. He means humanity or human religion by 'Dharma'. For him, 'Dharma' does not mean any superstition, mythology, or blind faith, but for him, 'Dharma' is the practice of a moral sense and a form of human welfare. The present article will mainly present a brief review of religion in the light of Bankim Chandra's book 'Dharmattava'. | ||
