Four Pillars of Adharma

Behavior contrary to righteousness defined in Vedic Scriptures is called adharma . It is characterized by following four attributes

  • falsehood or asatya (Devanagari: असत्य ISO15919: asatya )
  • violence or hinsa (Devanagari: हिंसा ISO15919: hiṁsā )
  • lusty desires or trishna (Devanagari: तृष्णा ISO15919: tr̥ṣṇā ) and
  • hatred or dvesh (Devanagari: द्वेष ISO15919: ​ dveṣa )

These are always present in the world, still the pervasiveness increases dramatically in Kaliyuga .
