All religions are man made, that is for sure. But not the Dharma, what people of India practices. Religions are dogmas, while Dharma is a code of righteousness, eternal philosophy. There are 10 defined characteristics of Dharma as eloquently described in the following Sanskrit sloka: (1) Dhriti %u2013 Patience, (2) Kshama %u2013 Forgiveness, (3) Damah %u2013 Self Control, (4) Asteya %u2013 Not Stealing, (5) Shaucha %u2013 Purity, (6) Indriya Nigraha %u2013 Sense Control, (7) Dhi %u2013 Intellect, (8) Vidya %u2013 Learning/Knowledge, (9) Satya %u2013 Truth, (10) Akrodha %u2013 Absence of Anger.
