Meaning of the word ‘Dharma’

Dharma is the Principle that protects the world from mishaps and ensures Moksha (Final Liberation) for man besides his materialistic progress as well as welfare after death. Most foreign languages do not have any equivalent for the word ‘Dharma’. Hence, they find it difficult to abide by Dharma.
