Samanya Dharma

In the sacred text of Srimad Bhagavatam, the great sage Narada has recommended thirty qualifications that every human being should imbibe as general principles of living. These come under the topic – “30 Attributes of Samanya Dharma” which are listed out beautifully in the 11th chapter of the 7th canto of Srimad Bhagavatam.

The verses from 8th to 12th summarize these attributes which have been lucidly propounded by Swami

Abhedananda in this article. Let us try to find out and introspect what these essential virtues are and how we can inculcate them for a joyous and fulfilled life. It is emphasized by sage Narada that simply by acquiring these qualifications, one can satisfy the Supreme Lord and experience the happiness of the Lord in this lifetime!
