Self-Knowledge is harmonious with dharma

Poojya Swamiji, in this message, emphasizes that Self-knowledge instruction is not something which is different from Dharma. It is the pinnacle and foundation of Dharma.

The purpose of Dharma is to take one to Moksha (liberation) which alone gives fullness, the freedom, an inner abundance and inner fulfillment. So, self-knowledge is harmonious with Dharma.
