he meaning of the word "dharma" depends on the context, and its meaning has evolved as the ideas of Hinduism have developed throughout its long history. In the older texts, dharma meant cosmic law.

The different religious traditions of India are conceived as so many variations on this path of righteousness. practice the Jain dharma, a Hindu follows the Sanatana dharma and a Buddhist practices the Buddha dharma.
