Hinduism is referred to as Sanathana Dharma, the eternal faith. Hinduism is based on the practice of Dharma, the code of life. Hinduism has no founder.

While religion means to bind, Dharma means to hold. What man holds on to is his inner law, which leads from ignorance to Truth. The reading of the scriptures (saastras) would not directly lead you to self-realization, the teachings of the seers provide a basis and a path for spirituality. Despite being the oldest religion, the truth realized by the seers proves that the truth and path provided by Hinduism are beyond time.

Hinduism is more a way of life than a specific religion. In Hinduism, one can find all religions of the world. Various religions like Buddhism, and Sikhism emerged from it. The most important aspect of Hinduism is being truthful to oneself. Hinduism has no monopoly on ideas. It is open to all. Hindus believe in one God expressed in different forms. For them, God is a timeless and formless entity. Hindus believe in eternal truths and these truths are open to anyone who seeks them, even if he or she is ignorant of Hindu scriptures or ideas. This religion also professes Non-violence - "Ahimsa Paramo Dharma" - Nonviolence is the highest duty. True Ahimsa implies curtsey, kindness, hospitality, humanity, and love.

Most Hindus do not know about their scriptures. They are aware of Ramayana, Mahabharata and Bhagavat Gita only. But we have a lot of scriptures. Every Hindu must be aware of his/her scriptures. This is a small attempt to give the reader a brief knowledge about our scriptures.

A collection of Sanatana Dharma Scriptures is available here.

**We welcome everyone regardless of their religion**

You should try to incorporate great life lessons from Scripture into your life and live life the Sanatani way.
