Dharma: Decoding the Epics for a Meaningful Life
is a non-fiction book by best-selling Indian author Amish Tripathi and his elder sister Bhavna Roy. The book conveys practical and philosophical lessons drawn from ancient Hindu epics.
The book is written in the form of conversations between characters set in modern-day India. These conversations echo the insights and lessons from Upanishads, Mahabharata, and Amish's fiction books, the Shiva Trilogy and Ram Chandra series.
The authors dive into the priceless treasure trove of the ancient Indian epics, as well as the vast and complex universe of Amish's Meluha, to explore some of the key concepts of Indian philosophy. They discuss multiple dimensions and decode the meaning of several principles of Indian history, deducing myths and mythological characters.
The book explores questions such as the ideal interplay between thought and action, taking and giving, self-love and sacrifice. It also discusses how to tell right from wrong, how to bring out the best in ourselves, and how to live a life with purpose and meaning, not just one fuelled by the ego and material needs.
