Understanding the Eternal Teachings of Sanatana Dharma
Sanatana Dharma, often referred to as Hinduism, is not just a religion but an eternal way of life. The term Sanatana signifies something that is beginningless and endless, representing the eternal truths that have governed the cosmos since time immemorial. Dharma, derived from the Sanskrit root dhri, means “that which sustains,” encompassing a profound and all-encompassing natural law. Together, Sanatana Dharma guides us toward living a life of spiritual harmony, ethical action, and unity with the divine..
We are what our thoughts have made us; so take care about what you think. Words are secondary. Thoughts live; they travel far.
Swami Vivekananda
The teachings of Sanatana Dharma are rooted in Vedic philosophy, which speaks to the interconnectedness of all life. According to this philosophy, the entire universe operates through cycles of birth, life, death, and rebirth, known as Samsara. Central to this belief is the idea that one’s actions, thoughts, and intentions—referred to as karma—determine one’s future in this cycle. The ultimate goal for followers of Sanatana Dharma is to break free from this cycle and achieve Moksha, or spiritual liberation, where the soul (Atman) reunites with the supreme reality (Brahman).
At Adwaitananda Mission, we embrace and promote these teachings as we believe they provide not only spiritual guidance but also a practical roadmap for living an ethical, fulfilling life. The path to Moksha begins with the realization that all beings are manifestations of the divine, and our actions in the world should reflect compassion, truthfulness, and humility. Whether through yoga, meditation, or spiritual discourse, we aim to help individuals connect with their higher selves and understand the purpose of life.
Join us on a journey to explore the eternal wisdom of Sanatana Dharma—wisdom that continues to inspire millions worldwide and holds the potential to guide us through the challenges of modern life.
