Educational Q&A

Householders are specifically enjoined to follow a dharma defined by pravṛtti—active, responsible participation in worldly life—because such conduct sustains society and promotes the welfare of all beings.

Śrī Maheśvara announces that he will now explain the pravṛtti-based dharma intended for householders, emphasizing its auspicious and universally beneficial character as a preface to the ensuing instruction.
