Hinduism is also known as "Sanatana Dharma" to Hindus. In Sanskrit, the
original language of India, 'Sanatana' means Everlastingand 'Dharma',
by a crudetranslation, means Religion. The Everlasting Religion,Hinduism
was founded, existsand flourishes in India.
What is Hinduism? Is it a religion or is it a culture? The truth is - it is both a religion and a way of life. India gave to the world the original, oldest and most profound philosophy of life. The brilliant ancestors of present-day indians explored the Truth behind our existence and gave several philosophies and theories to define the Truth. At the same time, they created a set of rules for"goodliving" on this earth.The philosophical concepts that Indians gave to mankind are eternal and constitute no religion by themselves.However, the rules for good or "Dharmic" living that they laid down constitute the Hindu religion.
