a. Do Hindus have Commandments?

Hinduism is a family of traditions that emphasizes personal experience and evaluation and thus, offers overarching guidelines rather than absolute lists of do’s and don’ts or commandments in regulating individual behavior. For a Hindu, all actions are to be guided by dharma. Hindu ethical values flow from one’s understanding of the nature of reality and inform the Hindu understanding of right and wrong.

To paraphrase Coco Chanel, “Fashion changes, Style is eternal”, Hindus would agree with “Commandments change, but Dharma is forever”.
