"Sanathana" means eternal or everlasting, reflecting the belief that its principles are timeless and universal. At its core lies the concept of dharma, encompassing duties, ethics, laws, and virtues that govern an individual's conduct in harmony with cosmic order.

Sanathana Dharma embraces diversity, allowing for various paths (margas) to spiritual realization, such as karma (action), bhakti (devotion), and jnana(knowledge)

It incorporates a rich tapestry of scriptures like the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and epics like the Ramayana and Mahabharata, offering philosophical insights, moral teachings, and mythological narratives.
Central tenets include the belief in karma (law of cause and effect), samsara (cycle of birth and death), and moksha (liberation from this cycle). Its tolerance, reverence for nature, and emphasis on personal growth make it a profound and enduring tradition that continues to inspire millions worldwide.
