Sanatan Dharma - The Living Law

Bharat Dharma is Sanatan Dharma.

Is it because it is ancient? Is it a boast of being "first"?

The word Sanatan does translate as "Very Old," but the essence runs deeper.

First, we must strip away the word "Religion."

Sanatan Dharma is not a set of rituals, nor is it bound by the label "Hindu"

—a term far younger than the truth it seeks to describe.

Think of it instead as The Law.

Just as the law of Gravity or the mechanics of Quantum Physics exist whether we name them or not,

there are Eternal Spiritual Laws that govern the inner cosmos.

They have existed since the birth of time, woven into the very fabric of existence.

These laws were glimpsed by the Rishis and whispered through the Vedas and Upanishads.

But Sanatan Dharma is not a dusty book on a shelf.

It is not static.

It is a river that renews its water with every mile.

It did not stop at the feet of Srikrishna.

It flowed through the silence of the Buddha, the logic of Shankaracharya, and the songs of Nanak, Kabir, and Dnyaneshwar.

It spoke through the fire of Vivekananda and the vision of Aurobindo.

Each sage revealed a different facet of the Eternal Truth.

At times, they seemed to contradict one another, yet they were all drinking from the same source.

This is Bharat Dharma: A tradition that does not just preserve the old,

but constantly rejuvenates, reclaims, and reinvents itself to encompass all of humanity.

It is the ancient truth, eternally new.
