Sanatan Dharma in Hinduism means Universal religion, eternal truth, Ankh Globally it means Universal law. Religion is like the peel of banana and spirituality is the banana. Speak the truth which is preferable that Intelligent one prefers it while the Ignorant one selects the pleasurable. Do not speak the truth to manipulate Do not speak to please someone. The sharp edge of a razor is difficult to pass over; Thus the wise say, the path to Salvation is hard So begins The Razor’s edge of Somerset Maugham Who visited India and met The Saint Raman. All these leads to Yoga, so the wise one thinks. When the senses are firmly reined in From distractions a man is then free for Yoga is the coming-into-being. as well as the ceasing-to-be. =============================== Ninth Place winner For the contest: Broad Horizons by Deborah Guzi Subject- Sanatan Dharma - Hinduism ======================================================== *The word Sanatan means ‘Eternal’ and Dharma means religion. In broader sense Dharma means spirituality. *Salvation is hard." taken from a verse in the Katha-Upanishad - 1.3.14. Maugham had visited India in 1938 and met Ram, the great Saint of India. *The words Hindu and Hinduism came from the usage of the term Sindhu. "Outsiders" who encountered Sanatanists living near the Sindhu river in the western portion of Bharat (the original and still used Sanskrit name for India) referred to them as "Sindhus" and their unique form of worship as "Sindhuism." Though there was a Sindhu river, Sindhu is actually a generic term for river, and many believe this term was used in a metaphorical sense implying the river or spirituality that flows through all thing–in other words, Sanatan Dharma. With this understanding, the terms Sanatan Dharma and Hinduism become interchangeable with an identical meaning.
