Sanatan Dharma
Sanatan Dharma, translating to "Eternal Order" or "Universal Law," is an ancient tradition and spiritual path that encompasses the principles, philosophies, and diverse customs of Hinduism. It represents a universal path of righteous conduct, duty, and spiritual knowledge rooted in Vedic scriptures. Unlike a religion with a single founder, Sanatan Dharma is a timeless and eternal order that emphasizes the pursuit of truth and the divine nature within all beings, serving as a foundational philosophy for many traditions originating from India
The term denotes the "eternal" or absolute set of duties or religiously ordained practices incumbent upon all Hindus, regardless of class, caste, or sect.
Sanātana Dharma, a Sanskrit term meaning "eternal religion" or "eternal way of life," refers to the timeless, universal truth and eternal principles that guide individuals toward righteous living, self-realization, and spiritual enlightenment. Rooted in the Vedic tradition and considered the indigenous religious culture of India, it is a holistic, adaptable way of life that encompasses a range of spiritual beliefs, philosophies, and customs rather than a single, fixed religion
In Sanatan Dharma, God is understood as the one, supreme reality called Brahman, which is the eternal, all-pervading, formless, and infinite essence of the universe. While Brahman is the singular, ultimate Godhead, it manifests in countless forms, known as deities, such as Brahma, Vishnu, and Shiva, who serve different functions but are all aspects of the same supreme being
