Swadharma= Swa: for oneself and Dharma: what is right Meaning: one’s own Dharma. When Arjuna was distressed and in sorrow and was full of doubts over the morality of war, responding to Arjuna’s despair, Krishna asks him to follow his Swadharma. One of the verses of the Gita says, ‘It is far better to perform one’s natural prescribed duty (Swadharma), though tinged with faults, than to perform someone’s prescribed duty (Paradharma), though perfectly. In fact, it is preferable to die in the discharge of one’s duty, than to follow someone’s path, which invites danger.’
In this verse from Gita, Krishna is trying to remind Arjuna of his Swadharma which is in being a Kshatriya i.e. a warrior. He is a fighter from inside and hence it will not suit him if he does not fight. It is going to torment him throughout his life if he leaves the battlefield without fighting. According to the Gita, Swadharma is to act in harmony with our inborn nature for the well being of individual and the society.
Characteristics of Swadharma:
Inborn nature (Swabhava):
One has to do his duties prescribed by his own intrinsic, inborn nature (called Swabhava). It is often related with one’s innate tendencies and abilities. Svadharma is in relation to an individual’s temperament and stage and duties in life, based on Varna and Ashrama. It is made in terms of three gunas, the Sattva (purity), Rajas (virility), and Tamas (darknesss). These three qualities are found in each individual in varying proportions and thus this varying proportion of qualities is regarded as the basis of different types of actions and of four castes.
Dharma: Stands for performance of duties as per the natural or cosmic laws (Rta) related to four stages of life (Rna) and to fourfold purpose of life (Purushartha). It leads to prosperity and wellbeing of the whole society. Every stage of Ashrama System has duties and social responsibility (called Rna) which contributes to the social stability.
The fourfold purpose of life (Purushartha)e supreme ends (aim or goal) of a good life which consists of Dharma (virtue), Artha (wealth), Kama (desire), and Moksha .(salvation)

It is far better to perform one’s natural prescribed duty, though tinged with faults, than to perform another’s prescribed duty, though perfectly. In fact, it is preferable to die in the discharge of one’s duty, than to follow the path of another, which is fraught with danger.
