Sanatana Dharma or Hinduism is an ocean of knowledge. The name Sanatana means eternal. So, its wisdom is ancient as well as relevant to our times. Its holistic approach ultimately elevates the human soul from the path of preya (inclination to worldly pleasures) to shreya (spiritual realization). The beauty of Hinduism is that it caters to each individual soul according to its inclinations and karmic level through its rich and diverse beliefs and traditions.

Hinduism is often compared to a bouquet of flowers, where each flower adds its own colour, fragrance and individuality to coalesce into a wonderful and vibrant religion. Its varied beliefs, festivals, shastras, practices, symbols, holy places, rituals, sadhanas, denominations, sampradayas, deities and mandirs cater to the spiritual needs of one-sixth of humanity. Its democratic approach leads to mutual respect for other paths and religions, thus fostering friendship and harmony.

Through the ages the profound wisdom and practices of Hinduism have revealed the Divine to sincere spiritual seekers. This is evident through the robust legacy of gurus, devotees and seekers of God. The many divine incarnations and realized gurus have revived the traditions and spirit of Hinduism from the ravages of time and human distortions for the uplift and liberation of mankind.
