While dharma manifests as a universal cosmic discovery—timeless, experiential, and rooted in the natural order—religions, the book argues, are entirely self-serving inventions shaped by history, politics, power, and doctrine meant exclusively for humans. The work examines how proselytizing religions inflicted profound damage on both Nature and femininity as they expanded beyond their places of origin into pagan and Nature-centric civilizations. This expansion, the author contends, ushered in a worldview marked by domination, violence, chaos, and the characteristic gloom of adharma. The book then traces the origins and evolving attributes of the Lord God of these religions, following the historical transformation of the deity, who started His journey from within a dharmic milieu but eventually broke away decisively from the very foundations of dharma. In its final section, the book presents a striking inversion: human-invented religions are contrasted with the cosmic understanding of dharma that sustained Nature-worshipping societies for millennia. Through this comparison, readers are confronted with clear and unambiguous manifestations of adharma within religions, a reality that is seldom acknowledged or discussed in mainstream discourse. Ultimately, the book seeks to offer a framework for Hindu society to recognize adharma masquerading as dharma, to name it without hesitation, and to rejuvenate itself by returning to dharma, taking refuge in its timeless, ageless, and life-sustaining, divinity- infused values. A Dharmic Response is the first volume in a two-part work. Its sequel, Defilement of the Divine Pagan Planet, completes the inquiry. Together, the two books examine religions through the dual lenses of dharma and history, revealing how these traditions have profoundly shaped the contemporary world even as humanity continues to str\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dusky's Shrine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46036033732665,"sku":"9789365471304","price":719.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/3367\/0457\/files\/71-H8McxT6L._SL1500_aa92a841-959f-4c5f-9f0f-7e0c8a5137f7.jpg?v=1784120928"},{"product_id":"mahabharata-unravelled-ii","title":"Mahabharata Unravelled II","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe first volume of Mahabharata Unravelled covered the itihasa of our ancestors true to the narration of Rishi Veda Vyasa. But the Mahabharata is more than a story of the past. It has extensive discourses on ethics, personal and social interaction, administration, jurisprudence and related topics, in the form of conversations. For instance, the Shanti Parva, the largest of the 18 parvas, is a treatise on Raja Dharma. Advice on the responsibilities and duties of leaders and administrators is imparted to Yudhishthira by Bhishma from his bed of arrows on the field of war. Then there is a profound dialogue between Dhritarashtra and the erudite Vidura that appears in Udyoga Parva, popularly known as Vidura Neeti. Likewise, there is a thought-provoking story narrated by Rishi Markandeya to the Pandavas of a meat-seller who teaches dharma to a Brahmin named Kaushika. In this book, Ami Ganatra highlights the most important lessons from the Dharma discourses found in the Mahabharata. Their teachings hold true even in current times, perhaps more so than ever.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dusky's Shrine","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46036041236537,"sku":"9789356409330","price":449.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/3367\/0457\/files\/81Xm70DgeFL._SL1500_7a49aeea-b913-4df2-be0e-8f739d67285d.jpg?v=1784120997"},{"product_id":"bishnois-and-the-blackbuck","title":"Bishnois and the Blackbuck","description":"\u003cp\u003eAbout the Book What if a solution to the global environmental crisis already exists—and has been practised in Bharat for over 500 years? Bishnois and the Blackbuck uncovers a remarkable history of sacrifice, from the Khejarli massacre of 1730 to contemporary courtroom battles. Time and again, the Bishnoi community has laid down its lives to protect trees, animals, and the natural world, embracing each sacrifice as martyrdom rather than tragedy. Blending ecology, faith, and law, Bishnois and the Blackbuck challenges dominant Western conservation models with a bold assertion: the future of environmental protection may lie in ancient, indigenous wisdom.This is not armchair activism. This is dharma in action.Why Read This Book?Explores the Bishnoi community’s 500-year-old environmental philosophyReframes the blackbuck poaching case within a civilizational and ethical backdropConnects dharma, ecology, religion, and environmental conservationChallenges the exclusive reliance on Western frameworks of environmentalismEssential reading for anyone interested in environment, sustainability, and indigenous wisdomBishnois and the Blackbuck opens with the infamous blackbuck poaching case and examines how an entire community stood up against a superstar allegedly involved in the killing of blackbucks. For the last 26 years, the case has remained sub judice. Yet the resilience of the Bishnois has puzzled the nation. Why were they willing to confront power, fame, and the legal system for the life of a wild animal? Bishnois and the Blackbuck explores the Bishnoi philosophy, a Hindu Vaishnav sampradaya in which protecting the environment is regarded as a dharmic responsibility. For more than five centuries, the Bishnoi community—primarily from western Rajasthan, Punjab, and Haryana—has lived by a strict ecological code rooted in Sanatan Dharma. Over generations, hundreds of Bishnois have sacrificed their lives to protect wildlife, especially hirans (gazelles, chinkaras, and blackbucks\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Dusky's Shrine","offers":[{"title":"Hardback","offer_id":46036046839865,"sku":"9789347098833","price":626.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/3367\/0457\/files\/81XafO-kd7L._SL1500_efb06a3b-f20c-45f0-aa68-6c3479ef53e4.jpg?v=1784121042"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0795\/3367\/0457\/collections\/image_0733f6e6-63d2-42e1-8887-914cc304c8b2.png?v=1778534094","url":"https:\/\/duskysshrine.com\/collections\/dharma-and-karma.oembed","provider":"Dusky's Shrine","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
