Sanatan Dharma

     Linking religion with sect or religion is actually limiting the understanding of religion, since the western world is associated only with sect or ‘faith’, hence being ignorant of the Indian viewpoint, it keeps calling ‘Dharma’ as ‘Mazhab’ which is absolutely wrong, in reality the only pure religion is ‘Sanatan Dharma’, all the rest are just its branches i.e. ‘Sampradaya’ and ‘Panth’. Religion is not limited to humans only, it is spread in the entire world/universe; living and non-living things including animals, birds and trees, apart from the five great elements are also governed by Dharma, in reality Dharma is the driving force of nature! Dharma is that sacred ritual which purifies the consciousness. Dharma is that element by whose conduct a person is able to fulfill his life. It is the influence of the development of human qualities in man, it is the good intention of the universal consciousness. The interpreters of medieval religion considered every activity in the world as the will of God, philosophers propounded the reason for the misery of a person's present life in the formula of 'Karma-Siddhanta'. The result of this in the medieval period was that the cause of all the present troubles was considered to be 'fate' or God's will. The misery of the society or the country was considered its destiny. The society itself became fatalistic and remained satisfied with its happy and sad situations.

Today's era has given this awareness that man has to make the path of development himself. The solution of the problems of a society or country is possible through skill, system-change, scientific and technological development, hard work and devotion. Today's man is more interested in improving his present life. His focus is not 'future-oriented' but on the present. He is engaged in the effort to bring divinity down to his own earth. He is desperate to make the earth itself a heaven. That is, he is moving towards the reality of Sanatan.

Branches of present-day Sanatan
Hindu is the oldest - the stem of Sanatan

The Hindu Sanatan group believes that there is only one religion in the whole world, the eternal Sanatan Dharma. The religion that has been in existence since the origin of the universe is called Sanatan Dharma. Apart from this, all other sects, religions, mazhabs, sects are just that. The religious books of Hindus are Vedas, Aranyakas, Upanishads, Shrimad Bhagavad Gita, Ramayana, Puranas, Mahabharata etc. Vedas are pure spiritual and scientific texts. Vedas are the ocean of eternal truth knowledge beyond the definition of western religion and the beliefs and philosophy of sects and sampradayas. Vedas have been composed to introduce humans to true knowledge. Vedas do not represent sects, sampradayas, mazhabs, religions etc., but are only and only for humans.

Jainism - the first branch of the Sanatan stem

Jain Sanatan group believes that this world, which is a point, has been going on since time immemorial, and will continue to go on till eternity and civilization will keep on developing continuously. Those who have conquered themselves, that is, have conquered attachment, passion, hatred, are Jains, that is, those who follow them. God does not exist separately, but a person can become God by practicing the meditation of his pure soul. God does not do anything, he only knows, everything happens due to the rise of one's own karmas. There is no bondage, you think, understand, contemplate, then do whatever you feel like doing as soon as possible. Jain Sanatan thought is the only such thought in the world which gives freedom to a person. In Jain Sanatan thought, there is no salutation to God, but there is salutation to his qualities.

Second branch of Buddhist- Sanatan stem

Buddhist Sanatan group is a true eternal, system derived from Shramana tradition. It is believed that through this Sanatan all other religions and sects have originated (Es Dhammo Sanantano- Lord's teachings in Dhammapada). This is called the pure Satyasaddhamma path. There have been Buddhas even before Lord Gautam Buddha. The founder of the Buddhist group is Buddhahood himself, not Lord Gautam Buddha. He has given great teachings by converting Dhammachakka and carried forward the eternal tradition of the Buddhas. The Buddhist group denies the existence of God and the centre point of this group is human being. Buddhists believe in the principles of Dharma and Karma, which were propagated by Tathagata Lord Gautam Buddha. Buddhists bow to Lord Gautam Buddha. Tripitaka is the Buddhist religious text.

Abrahamic - Western branch of Sanatan

Abrahamic, the western branch of Sanatan, believes in one God and considers Abraham (Arabic - إِبْرَاهِيْمُ‎ ) as a prophet of God. These include Judaism, Christianity, Islam and Baha'i ideology, etc. These ideologies developed in the Middle East and are monotheistic. Jewish tradition is one of the oldest ideologies in the world.
It is not a formally established sect, neither does it have any followers nor does it have any foundation. Experts even say that it is just a spiritual project whose aim is to eliminate the differences between Islam, Christianity and Judaism by looking at the similarities between them and generally these three religions are placed in the category of Abrahamic religion. Jewish tradition claims that the Twelve Tribes of Israel descended from Abraham through his son Isaac and grandson Jacob, whose sons collectively formed the nation of the Israelites in Canaan; Islamic tradition claims that the twelve Arab tribes known as the Ishmaelites descended from Abraham through his son Ishmael in Arabia; Bahá'í tradition claims that Bahá'u'lláh was a descendant of Abraham through his wife Keturah. Even after a century of archaeological investigation, no evidence has been found for these historical patriarchs. Most scholars believe that the story of Abraham originated in the sixth century BCE, and that the Book of Genesis does not represent historical events.

Christianity - the school of thought propounded in the Mediterranean region of Europe after Jainism and Buddha
In Sanatan, the school of thought propounded by Jesus Christ 2024 years ago in the West i.e. Central Asia and the Mediterranean region of Europe after Jainism and Buddha, is a sect divided into more than 43,000 sects followed by the maximum population of the world in the form of Christianity. This sect believes that God is a soul and the soul does not have bones and flesh, how can we make an idol of that which we cannot see? No one has ever seen that Almighty God with physical eyes. But God showed his love for mankind in this way that he took the form of a human. That Almighty God who created time, time and man. He himself came confined in his time, so that mankind can get rid of their sins through him. This religion spread like a revolution till the fourth century, but after this, the dominance of excessive rituals and religious authority in Christianity pushed the world into the Dark Age. As a result, since the Renaissance, more emphasis is given on spiritual transformation rather than rituals. The Christian scripture Bible has two parts. The first part is called the Old Testament, which is a version of the Jewish scripture Tanakh. The second part is called the New Testament and describes the teachings, miracles and works of Jesus Christ and his disciples.

Islamism - Arab and North African branch of Sanatan

Islam (Arabic - Al-Islam) is a monotheistic Abrahamic religion derived from a prophetic tradition. It started in the Arabian Peninsula in the beginning of the 7th century, around Hijri 1445 BC i.e. {wwAD). According to Islamic tradition, Islam is based on the teachings of the Quran, the book revealed to humans by Allah's last prophet Muhammad, and it includes Hadith, Sirat un-Nabi and Shariat texts. Sunni, Shia, Sufi and Ahmadiya communities are prominent in Islam. The religious places of Islam are called mosques. Islam is the second largest religion in the world according to the total population of followers. Islam is based on the Quran. Its followers are called Muslims. Islam believes in only one God, whom Muslims call Allah. Hazrat Muhammad is considered to be the last and greatest messenger (Prophet or Rasool) of Allah. Worship of gods and idols is prohibited in Islam. The word Islam is pronounced from the Arabic language (Salm). It means to be peaceful, or to surrender; a person attains real peace only by surrendering to God. According to Islamic beliefs, God created the first human (Adam) and sent him to earth and made a 'couple' from him, which started the process of procreation! This procreation continues uninterrupted. And this is the second most populous ideology in the world, divided into 72 sects and 533 communities. For Islam, all the religious books given by Allah to the messengers are valid. According to Islam, the Quran is the last religious book given by God to man. Four more books are important in the Quran- (1) Sahuf e Ibrahimi which was given to Prophet Ibrahim, (2) Torah which was given to Prophet Moses, (3) Zabur which was given to King Dawood, (4) Injeel which was given to Prophet Jesus. Muslims believe that Jews and Christians have changed the messages of their books. According to the beliefs of Muslims, the human race got divided into two main parts- (1) One group lived their lives by devoting themselves (Muslims) to the principles (knowledge) given by the divine messengers, (2) The second group lived their lives by adopting the attitude of their limited knowledge (speculation, conjecture) and turning away from the divine messengers (Kafir).

Sikhism - the stem of Sanatan, a branch formed for the protection of Hinduism

The Sikh Panth group (Khalsa or Sikhmat; Punjabi) is an ideology started by Guru Nanak Dev Ji in the 15th century during the Mughal Sultanate on South Asia (1556-1707) to protect the human rights of the people. The religious texts of the Sikhs are Sri Adi Granth Sahib or Guru Granth Sahib and Dasam Granth. In Sikhism, their religious place is called Gurudwara. Generally, there are ten Satgurus of Sikhs, but in the religious text of Sikhs, there are the Bani of thirty Bhagats including six Gurus, whose teachings are considered important for following the Sikh path.

Charvaka and Communism - Groups of those who do not believe in God in Sanatan

Since the Vedic period, the group that does not believe in the Vedas and God is considered to be the ideology of Charvaka. The texts related to this ideology are almost unavailable. The Manifesto of the Communist Party (Manifest der Kommunistischen Partei) propounded by Karl Marx and Friedrich Engels was originally published in London in 1848 due to the inhuman exploitation and oppression of agricultural and industrial workers at the time of the Industrial Revolution in European countries like Persia, Britain, Germany, France, etc. With the slogan ‘Workers of the world, unite! You have nothing to lose but your chains’, the Manifesto ends with a decisive and famous call for solidarity, concluding, (1) Capitalism does not offer humanity the possibility of self-realization, instead it ensures that man remains backward and alienated forever, (2) Capitalism will bring about its own destruction by polarizing and unifying the proletariat, and a revolution will lead to the emergence of communism, (3) a classless society in which ‘the free development of each is the condition for the free development of all’. Marx and Engels propose the following transitional policies- (1) Abolition of private property in land and inheritance; (2) the introduction of a progressive income tax; (3) the confiscation of the property of rebels; (4) the nationalization of credit, communications and transport; (5) the expansion and integration of industry and agriculture; (6) the introduction of universal obligation of labour; and (7) the provision of universal education and the abolition of child labour. This latest branch of Sanatan comprises more than a third of the population.

So who is man?

Man is responsible for the rise and fall of civilisation whether he believes in God or not. The eternal truth is that a human being is born naked and helpless after staying in the mother's womb for nine months. In the full life span of about 100 years, he learns, sees and experiences some ways of living according to the circumstances by staying under the care of parents for about 10 to 15 years. At the age of 16 to 20, he starts doing something and getting attracted to the opposite sex according to the law of heredity of nature and starts feeling like forming a pair. Till the age of 50-60, he is engaged in earning money and resources and forming and nurturing a family. Till the age of 60-70, he sees the birth and fall of his children and gradually starts feeling old. Death comes between 70-100 years. No matter how capable or wealthy he is, it is not known where death takes him, making him even more helpless than the condition at the time of birth. In an attempt to understand this process, innumerable texts ranging from Vedas to Communist Manifesto have been written, made and are being made, but every living being in the universe (including plants) is afraid of death. Some feel it but cannot do anything, some become the natural food of others and some come out as different substances. Humans keep doing research on all the processes. Every dead person becomes the seed of his own group as the semen of the father and mixes with the menstrual blood of the mother and then is born in an unknown place under unknown circumstances and then starts his life journey of a maximum of 100 years, again accepting death, to be born again according to Hindus or to wait in the grave till the Doomsday according to Islam. It is not necessary that if a human is born, he will live for 100 years, he can die in the womb itself, he can die as soon as he is born, he can die anytime and anywhere in childhood or youth or old age. I don't know why he has come, I don't know what he has come to do, I don't know who has sent him, I don't know what will happen in the next moment, yet as long as he breathes, thinks, wanders, contemplates, fights, quarrels, sleeps, wakes, does some work directed or voluntarily and then merges into the unknown, this is Sanatan, everything else is just the footprints left by man in the form of seeds billions of years ago, aligned with the memories of time and situation based experiences of infinite knowledge and system chains! Then all are Sanatan, neither Hindu, nor Jain, nor Buddha, nor Christian, nor Muslim, nor Charvak, nor Communist! All of them are children of that supreme power who, evolving from a single-celled organism, have been coming and going in the continuous cycle of movement of humanity and divinity since unknown time and will keep coming and going till unknown time! So be it.  

India of our dreams

1.     Become a true Sanatani
    All of us, the descendants of Rishis and Rishikas, should follow, live and propagate the core values ​​of Sanatan Dharma. Do some timeless work, make efforts to establish Sanatan culture, which is eternal, as Yugdharma for the welfare of the world. Things will not work out just by talking. We will have to create records of great constructive works on the ground. Decide a big role, play it 100%.

2.     Self-evaluation
    What is the global status of India's currency, the value of our passport and our status in global organizations and institutions? These matters are very serious. What about security, national unity and the standard of living of the citizens of the country in all contexts? How to improve it holistically?

3.     False illusion
    Powerful people of various fields have created some arrogant false standards that if you have such a house, such a car, so much money etc. then you are not great, otherwise you are small, insignificant, poor, miserable? This is not fair and true. We have to carry both material development and spiritual upliftment together.

4.     The power of a Sanatan Sanyasi
    All the illusory powers of the world are terrified. The truth has been revealed. The lies are being exposed. Now Satyameva Jayate Yoga: Ek Jayate Yato Dharmastato Jai will happen.

 When we are situated in Shato Guna and are in the zenith of love through Satvik wisdom, then we automatically get attached to the one who seems like our own. Currently, we are doing a big work on Encyclopedia of World History with full dedication.

To understand the history of India, we can never understand it from the distorted history of India. For a long period, we were divided into Aryans, Aryans and Darwinians etc. This is a very interesting thing. If we talk about the South, who were the Murugas? Who was Kartikeya? They were the sons of Lord Shiva, so who ruled the South? Then how did you people become separate? Some people say that the Aryans came from outside, which means that we distanced ourselves from them. In the castes, tribes or different sections of society that have been determined, it is said that some have come from outside and some are from inside, so that they keep fighting among themselves. This propaganda was done with so much planning that we cannot understand it with our common sense. They will cleverly present their point in such a way that you will feel that this is correct.

The Varna system should be based on Karma
Patanjali is not in favour of determining caste by birth and in our culture there is no caste system by birth. In our culture, Karma is considered to be the most important. It is written in our scriptures that- Janmana Jayte Shudra: Karmana Dwij Uchyate. That is, at the time of birth we are born the same and all are Shudras by birth and on the basis of Karma we become Brahmin, Kshatriya, Vaishya or Shudra. On this basis, earlier the Varna system was based on Karma which got distorted under the influence of time and became based on birth.
We have to make this system based on Karma again. We had the Varna system to create tradition. The Varna system got distorted due to which we got divided into castes. As a result, foreign invaders came near us. First they divided us, then wanted to impose other foreign and imported religions on us. 

We are not religion, we are from religion
This country is unfortunate that we were first taught the 'Aryan in Vision Theory'. We are not talking about political allegiance but our cultural allegiance, spiritual allegiance, religious allegiance should never be broken. It should be unbroken. There is no difference, no distinction in it, we have been taught that Dharma Rakshati Rakshita. We have to keep in mind that we are not religion, we are from religion. We cannot protect religion, but religion protects us. That is why we have to work for religion. Without religion we are not protected, not safe. We are not working to protect religion, but if religion does not survive, we cannot survive either. So what should we do, so that religion is saved? When we were taught the 'Aryan in Vision Theory', we were told that those who came from outside were invaders, they came to loot. We should try to know the truth. 

We are all descendants of the same ancestor
On a very large scale, DNA of a large group was studied to study their ancestors. You will be surprised to know that the DNA of all the castes and tribes in the east, west and south was found to be the same. So then the difference ended. Then how did those who came from outside become different? We do not have to get into any controversy but we should keep trying to know our history, the truth.

We will present the real history of the country to the world
By pointing out the errors in history, it was so refined that everything got messed up. If we look at it on the basis of old documents, the situation is even worse. A big task of writing history is being done under the aegis of Patanjali. Under the leadership of revered Swami Ji, we are going to present all this truth before the whole world very soon.
We feel pained that conspirators are engaged in dividing our country and we are sleeping. We have to wake up. We have archaeological evidence and complete proofs of 14-15 to 16 thousand years. There is complete documentation of history and culture. Although we say that we are millions of years old, but we talk about 14-15 thousand years ago. We have the genealogy and history of 7 thousand kings. Who will tell that thing? Who will take that thing to the world? So much distortion was deliberately created in our literature, in our scriptures that we too got entangled in it. Some say that this is a myth, this is a myth, this is Brahmin religion, this is the tradition of Brahmins. Who created this? Some of it was created by our ignorance and some by the conspiracy of others.

Our Varna system is based on karma
We had a Varna system based on the division of work. According to that it was not certain that the son of a Brahmin would become a Brahmin or the son of a Shudra would become a Shudra, that is, different works were divided according to one's ability. With time, some distortions arose in this system and later it was said that Stree Shudronadiyatam i.e. women and people of lower castes were prohibited from studying. Our entire history is full of stories of sages and saints, whether it is Maharishi Valmiki, Maharishi Vishwamitra or Maharishi Jawal, all of them became revered by their deeds. Even today we worship Maryada Purushottam Shri Ram and Yogeshwar Shri Krishna. They were also born in the Kshatriya clan.
In Patanjali, along with women, all religions and castes have equal rights. In Patanjali Gurukulam and Patanjali Sanyasashram, women and Shudras are equally taught Vedas, Puranas, Grammar, Shrimad Bhagwad Gita etc.

Varna system distorted during Mughal period
These discriminations would not be seen anywhere in ancient times. These things started after the arrival of Mughals. Killing lakhs of people every day, cutting off our Yagyopavit and Shikha had become common during Mughal rule. Many people even changed their religion to save their lives. Many people left their place. Such distortions have been going on since then. The responsibility of correcting the distortions of society also lies with us.

Our culture is for the entire humanity
We have never asked which organization you are associated with? What is your religion? What is your caste? We have many Muslim brothers and people of different religions and castes here, they all sit together, eat together. For us, humanity and human religion are paramount. So a natural question can be asked from us that why do you talk about Sanatan and Vedic tradition? We say this because human values ​​are talked about only in Sanatan. Nowhere in the scriptures of Sanatan Dharma, Vedas, Upanishads, Darshan, there is any distinction made between humans. It is our culture that we wake up every morning and pray that Sarve Bhavantu Sukhni. Survey Santu Niramaya:. Survey Bhadrani Pashyantu. Ma Kashchit Dukha Bhagbhavet. Not only humans but also animals, birds etc. all come into the survey building. Do these things exist anywhere else?

Inspiration of humanity in Sanatan
Some people in the society say that if you do not become a Christian, you will not get the fifth heaven. If you do not become a Muslim, you will not go to seventh heaven. But it is said here that Manurbhava Janaya Daivyam Janam (Rigveda 10.53.6), that is, if you do not become a human being, you will die. That means we teach you to become a human being. They teach you to be strictly religious. This is the difference between us and others. We have to convey to people that our beliefs are not going to hurt anyone. If there is any kind of distortion in the name of religion, then we will take the responsibility of removing that distortion. A very good example of this is Patanjali Yogpeeth. We do not know completely when the distortions started in our Sanatan? When was its time? Or who started it or did it? But we know that many great men did the work of removing it. But those who are heretics try to defame religion by making the distortion of religion as a basis. We should try to understand the pure form of religion. This will pave the way for pure knowledge, pure deeds, pure worship. This is what Patanjali Yogpeeth teaches. We have told you what is life, what is religion, what is true religion, what is the secret of life and what is the purpose of life. Our favorableness in life, positive thinking etc. are all due to the grace of God. All these are described in our scriptures. Ayurveda is also a scripture, astrology is also a scripture, Vastu is also a scripture and all scriptures are for creation. Scriptures are not meant to mislead. Ayurveda makes you aware, Ayurveda makes you do a detailed and deep analysis of your doshas, ​​makes you aware of the state of vata-pitta-kapha and also teaches how to live life with awareness and consciousness. The first task of Ayurveda is to not let a person who is not sick fall sick. No medical system in the world teaches us how you will fall sick, if you fall sick then how you will recover. They say that if you fall sick then maintain yourself.

Work for society, nation and yoga-ayurveda
The great man, the sage who, while facing all the challenges, told the world for the first time that yoga is a complete medical science in itself, is revered Swami Ramdev ji Maharaj. Patanjali Yogpeeth is the only institute which is giving you life and also teaching you the knowledge of how you can give life to others. Therefore, live in our traditions, behave according to our traditions, think about the welfare of everyone, but never go against religion. We should never get confused. We have to continuously move forward with our 100% capability for the society, nation and Yoga-Ayurveda.
