In Hinduism
Pancaratra (worship of Nārāyaṇa)
: archive.org: Catalogue of Pancaratra Agama TextsManodharma (मनोधर्�) refers to one of three types of Dharma (“righteousness�) described in the twelfth chapter of the ʲṃh: one of the older texts of the Pāñcarātra canon consisting of over 2100 verses in 31 chapters which, being encyclopedic in scope, deals with philosophy, worship routines, mantras, initiation, social behavior, temple-building, etc.—Accordingly, Brahmā asks how a Vaiṣṇava who desires release can please the Lord by thought, word and deed; and how a person wanting worldly rewards should behave (1-2). Parama takes up first manodharma (3-14), praising faith (ś), steadfastness (ṛt), and other virtues which can be cultivated through self-control. [...] Summarizing, Parama closes by suggesting that while for those in this world all three kinds of dharma should be observed, not all do so; it is through God’s grace (岹) that one progresses toward realization of the goals (53b-67).

Pancaratra (पाञ्चरात्र, pāñcarātra) represents a tradition of Hinduism where Narayana is revered and worshipped. Closeley related to Vaishnavism, the Pancaratra literature includes various Agamas and tantras incorporating many Vaishnava philosophies.
Vedanta (school of philosophy)
: Wikisource: Ashtavakra GitaManodharma (मनोधर्�) refers to “objects of the mind� (such as desire and anger), according to the Aṣṭāvakragītā (5th century BC), an ancient text on spirituality dealing with Advaita-Vedānta topics.—Accordingly, [as Aṣṭavakra says to Janaka]: “[...] Desire and anger are objects of the mind (manodharma), but the mind is not yours, nor ever has been [rāgadveṣau manodharmau na manaste kadācana]. You are choiceless, awareness itself and unchanging - so live happily. Recognising oneself in all beings, and all beings in oneself, be happy, free from the sense of responsibility and free from preoccupation with ‘me�. [...]�.

Vedanta (वेदान्�, vedānta) refers to a school of orthodox Hindu philosophy (astika), drawing its subject-matter from the Upanishads. There are a number of sub-schools of Vedanta, however all of them expound on the basic teaching of the ultimate reality (brahman) and liberation (moksha) of the individual soul (atman).
