The Vedas are the source of all Dharmas (in moral, social, religious, judicial, and spiritual sense) that have been in practice since times immemorial and hence is called Sanaatana Dharma or eternal dharma. The word Dharma is used erroneously and loosely in the sense of sanctioning various unrighteous deeds in the name of changing society and times by different peoples all over the globe.

Dharma is a samskrit expression of the widest import. There is no corresponding word for Dharma in any other language in this world as it is a unique and ancient concept promulgated by rishis since times immemorial. It would be futile to attempt to give any definition of the word. It can only be explained and has a wide variety of meanings. The vedic literature starting with Smritis have shown the irrevocable link between Dharma and Vedas.
