Dharmas History In Hinduism
Dharma is represented throughout the Bhagavad Gita. This scripture was written before the Mahabharata, a great war. A great
warrior named Arjuna fought in this battle. He rode in a chariot that was driven by Krishna. One day Arjuna questioned Krishna
about why he is fighting and his purpose to because he saw it as pointless and thought that killing was wrong despite the orgin of the
enemy. Krishna assured him that is the duty of his dharma. If he didnt follow the path of his chosen dharma, them he wouldnt be
able to achieve ultimate dharma of the self nor pay his eternal service ton a personal deity.

Dharma: Is seen as your service to god and even humanity. That is why it is strictly followed in this
religion.

Adharma: Is the complete opposite of dharma, is seen as wrong in Hinduism.

The Vedic Period 1500 B.C.E- 500 B.C.E
This time period took place when the Vedas were written in India. The Vedas are the oldest scriptures of Hinduism that were written by the
Indo-Aryans that settled in the northern portion of India during the Vedic Period. With them they brought old religious teachings that they
incorporated into the Vedas that served as a foundation for the creation of modern Hinduism. They developed and transformed the Indus Valley
culture. The language that was mainly spoken was Vedic Sanskrit. The practiced religion was sacrificing a meal to their worshipped gods.
