Hindu society’s main stronghold was the system of vamashrama dhamta. This refers to four different classes [varnas], which we have already discussed briefly, and four stages in man’s life (ashramas). The four stages were: Brahamacharya, Grahastha, Vanaprastha and Sanyas.
The Brahamacharya stage is one of learning and formation of good moral character and personality. The Grahastha specifies the obligations of a man to get married and look after his family as a religious duty. The Vanaprastha and Sanyas stages refer to the renunciation of the world for devoting oneself to the pursuit of spiritual knowledge and for attaining salvation. The ashramas were principles of equality and unity. They were devised to attain a full and complete life.
Along with these closely interlinked schemes was the scheme of the purusharthas, the basic principles of life, which defined the duties of a man towards himself, his family, and to the community. These are: dharma, artha, kama and moksha. These principles could rightly be called value-themes or goals of life arranged in a hierarchical order. Of these, dharma or moral duty is basic to all human activities.
