Svadharma means “one’s own dharma”—the unique expression of duty, temperament, and action aligned with your inner nature and role in the total. It is not chosen, but discovered, and lived as an offering. In Vedanta, honoring svadharma is a preparation for freedom.
Vedanta explores life’s purpose through three lenses—the individual, God, and the Self—showing why purpose matters in the relative world but is unnecessary in the absolute.
