Ways of living – social concerns

Hindus often express their religion in the ways they treat others, and this has an impact on society. Every Hindu has a personal duty (varnashrama dharma) to earn as much good as they can, and there are various ways they can do this:

  • - service to other people and the community
  • - giving generously, for example giving money to charity
