The Origin of Sociology

Sanatan Dharma is Not a Religion

It is the Eternal Dharma of Humans

Following the rights, responsibilities, and rules of one’s own existence is called Dharma. After changing religion or not following any religion, the human rights, responsibilities, and rules of humans that give them their real existence in this world never change. Every human being has to follow the rights, responsibilities, and rules of their own existence to be a human.

Dharma gives humans their existence. Religion gives humans identity. Culture gives humans lifestyle. Sect gives humans ideology. Identity, lifestyle, and ideology can be changeable, but existence cannot be changed. If the existence of a human changes, that will not be human.

Dharma represents all human beings. Religion represents region. Culture represents society. Sect represents community.

Sanatan Dharma is not a religion or culture. It is the Dharma of humans to follow in order to be human. The rest of the animals do not have the right to do righteous or unrighteous actions by their choice, but only humans have the right to do both righteous and unrighteous actions by their choice. That is why humans have to follow Sanatan Dharma to be humans. Those who choose to do unrighteous actions choose to be animals, not humans.

Sanatan Dharma was made by Parmeshwar Aadi Ganapati before the creation of humans. Hindu is a religion created by many Indian sages to follow Sanatan Dharma. Sanatan Dharma and the Hindu religion are not the same. Sanatan Dharma is eternal and created by God, and the Hindu religion is changeable and created by humans.

Parmeshwar, the first Ganapati, gave humans wisdom and authority to create their religion and culture with eight elements, such as rituals, food, attire, language, dance, music, festivals, architecture, etc. If any element of religion and culture is incomplete or vanishes, that religion and culture becomes incomplete and vanishes.

The basic purpose of religion and culture is to keep humans connected to society, nation, and Dharma. Religion and culture are man-made; hence, they are many and changeable. Dharma is created by Parmeshwar, the first Ganapati; hence, Dharma is one and eternal. The religion and culture of all humans may be different and may change, but the Dharma of all humans will always be Sanatan Dharma.

There are four Purusharthas of human life: Dharma, Artha, Kama, and Moksha. Dharma-Purushartha is to follow and protect one’s religion and culture according to Sanatan Dharma and the Constitution of the nation. If a religion or culture contradicts Sanatan Dharma and the nation, then stop following that religion and culture, adopt another religion and culture, or create one’s own religion and culture in accordance with Sanatan Dharma.

To achieve Dharma-Purushartha, every human being must practise or contribute to any element of religion and culture, such as rituals, food, dress, language, dance, festivals, architecture, etc.

All humans have only one Dharma. Humans cannot change their Dharma, but humans can have thousands of religions, and every country can have its own religion. A human can change their religion or stay connected with their old ancient religion. After changing religion, a human can perform different rituals and social activities, but due to changing religion, their physical and mental mechanisms never change, which were created by God. So if any human changes their religion, their Dharma remains Sanatan Dharma.
