❓ What are the main principles of practical dharma in daily life?

Practical dharma (आचार धर्म) centers on living ethically while fulfilling one's duties and responsibilities. The Manusmriti Chapter 4 outlines key principles including truthfulness, non-violence, self-discipline, and service to others.

The core elements include:

• Following one's svadharma (personal duties) based on skills and position
• Maintaining ethical conduct in relationships and work
• Regular spiritual practices integrated into daily routine
• Contributing positively to family and society

Modern application focuses on work-life balance, stress management through meditation, and ethical decision-making in professional contexts. Scientific research supports the benefits of these ancient practices for mental wellbeing and social harmony.
