Listen to All 8 Parts in a podcast
When I started this Blog, I was clueless about what I wanted to do and had no clue how this Blog platform worked. I had to learn and design as I progressed. So I started off with creating a number of Pages where I captured stuff that I had already written previously. One of those was a paper on dharma which I had completed about this time last year. That paper is available in PDF format, if anyone is interested.
I decided quite early that I didn't want my Blog to be burdened with long articles. So I split up my paper into 8 parts, each part on a separate Page. I provided links to each of the Pages in a top level Menu Page which was visible at the top of my Blog. I also provided links at the bottom of each Page to the subsequent Page. But I had never created Posts referencing those Pages. So anyone going through my Posts would miss those Pages. That's a defect I intend to correct.
The first Page introduces dharma, a Sanskrit word with a multifaceted meaning. I give a short history on the evolution of the religious landscape in India and the emergence of Adi Shankara's condensation of the vedic spiritual traditions in a comprehensive summary, and his effective rebuttal of the new traditions. That is the first stage of my paper.
