THE DEBATE OF BELIEF: SELF AND THE GATHERED IN INDIAN FAITH

Abstract

The current paper means to inspect the marvels of custom and culture with uncommon accentuation on two related perspectives:   the ontological/otherworldly direction that any practice has, and  the social and metro esteems the custom proposals to the general public. Appropriately, the essential construction of the current investigation follows a three-crease way:   hypothetical comprehension of custom and its arguments;   recovering this idea in the Indian social practice and discovering its ontological moorings;   philosophical supplication that the social custom of India is established in the ideas of Dharma, ṛta and yajña.
