Sat Sanatan Dharma is known as apaurusheya, which means that it is not based on personality but is based on the spiritual experiences of tens of thousands of spiritually enlightened individuals, men and women, rishis who transmitted the message of spirituality. In transmitting this wisdom, the Rishis had in mind kal &#8211; time and de\u0161 &#8211; place, so that this wisdom adapted to place and time. The Rishis, its transmitters and founders chose to be unnamed naming after their role, such as Vyasa &#8211; the compiler, the translator, the one who gathered the knowledge. In this way, they made it possible for their knowledge to be easily linked to earlier learning, adapted to place and time, and transmitted in an unbroken chain from Master to disciple &#8211; Guru parampara. Sat Sanatan Dharma is the relationship between the individual and the universe, and dharma also implies eternal, cosmic wisdom, law and action. Sat &#8211; true, Sanatan &#8211; eternal and universal, Dharma &#8211; that which contains and sustains the universe. Thus Sat Sanathan Dharma is what keeps society and civilization in communion through righteous living. In a broader sense, it means getting acquainted with the eternal laws of the universe that govern everything. Searching for them and applying these laws for the benefit of all is a way of practicing Sat Sanatan Dharma.<\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-ugb-spacer ugb-spacer ugb-61022da ugb-spacer--v2 ugb-main-block\"><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-spacer--inner\"><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignfull wp-block-ugb-video-popup ugb-video-popup ugb-f68cd84 ugb-video-popup--v3 ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-f68cd84 .ugb-video-popup__wrapper{height:700px !important;background-color:#000000;background-image:url(http:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/Vishwaguruji-8b37aa74.jpg)}.ugb-f68cd84 .ugb-video-popup__play-button svg{height:85px;width:85px}.ugb-f68cd84 .ugb-video-popup__wrapper:before{background-color:#000000;opacity:0.1}.ugb-f68cd84 .ugb-video-popup__wrapper:hover:before{opacity:0.4}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-f68cd84.ugb-video-popup{padding-right:35px !important}}@media screen and (max-width:1025px){.ugb-f68cd84 .ugb-video-popup__wrapper{height:500px !important;background-position:top right}}@media screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width:1025px){.ugb-f68cd84.ugb-video-popup{margin-top:80px !important}}@media screen and (max-width:768px){.ugb-f68cd84 .ugb-video-popup__wrapper{height:300px !important;background-position:top center}.ugb-f68cd84.ugb-video-popup{padding-right:18px !important;padding-left:18px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-video-popup__wrapper ugb--has-background-overlay\" data-video=\"gg_NlwlmwB0\"><button class=\"ugb-video-popup__overlay\" aria-label=\"Play\"><span class=\"ugb-video-popup__play-button\"><svg xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\" viewbox=\"0 0 256 320\" class=\"ugb-play-button-normal\" width=\"30\" height=\"30\"><path d=\"M0 0v320l256-160L0 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/span><\/button><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"aligncenter wp-block-ugb-feature ugb-feature ugb-0f56d8e ugb-feature--v2 ugb-feature--design-plain ugb-feature--invert ugb-main-block\"><style>.ugb-0f56d8e .ugb-button{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-1,#f28705);border-radius:7px !important}.ugb-0f56d8e .ugb-button .ugb-button--inner,.ugb-0f56d8e .ugb-button svg:not(.ugb-custom-icon){color:#222222 !important}.ugb-0f56d8e .ugb-button:hover .ugb-button--inner,.ugb-0f56d8e .ugb-button:hover svg:not(.ugb-custom-icon){color:var(--theme-palette-color-5,#ffffff) !important}.ugb-0f56d8e .ugb-button:hover{background-color:var(--theme-palette-color-2,#d95204);opacity:1}.ugb-0f56d8e .ugb-button:before{border-radius:7px !important}.ugb-0f56d8e .ugb-inner-block{text-align:left}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-0f56d8e .ugb-img{width:700px;height:auto !important}.ugb-0f56d8e.ugb-feature{margin-top:135px !important}}@media screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width:1025px){.ugb-0f56d8e.ugb-feature{margin-right:35px !important;margin-left:35px !important}}@media screen and (max-width:768px){.ugb-0f56d8e.ugb-feature{margin-right:10px !important;margin-left:10px !important;margin-top:100px !important;margin-bottom:100px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><div class=\"ugb-feature__item\"><div class=\"ugb-feature__content\"><h2 class=\"ugb-feature__title\">Hinduism<\/h2><p class=\"ugb-feature__description\">Many world religions are named after the prophets who founded them in ancient times. Christianity was named after Christ, Buddhism after Buddha, but the word Hindu is not derived from the name of any single prophet. The word Hindu is derived from the name of a river located in northwestern India called Sindhu. Sindhu is the river we know today as Indus. The teachings of Hinduism are known as apaurusheya, which means that they are not based on personality. What this term really means is that the Hindu religion is not based on personality, but on principles. This is a very important statement as it emphasizes that Hinduism is a discovery, not an invention of any individual or group of individuals.<br><\/p><div class=\"ugb-button-container\"><a class=\"ugb-button ugb-button--size-medium\" href=\"http:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/?page_id=3756&amp;lang=en\" rel=\"\" title=\"\"><span class=\"ugb-button--inner\">Read more<\/span><\/a><\/div><\/div><div class=\"ugb-feature__image-side\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"ugb-feature__image ugb-img wp-image-3228 ugb-image--shape-stretch\" src=\"http:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC6953.jpg\" alt=\"\" title=\"\" height=\"500\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC6953.jpg 700w, https:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/DSC6953-300x214.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 700px) 100vw, 700px\" \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"alignfull wp-block-ugb-blog-posts ugb-blog-posts ugb-c537516 ugb-blog-posts--v2 ugb-blog-posts--design-basic ugb-blog-posts--columns-3 ugb-blog-posts--cat-highlighted ugb-main-block ugb-main-block--inner-center ugb--has-block-background ugb--has-background-overlay\"><style>.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__featured-image{margin-bottom:25px !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__title{order:1 !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__category{order:4 !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__excerpt{order:5 !important;text-align:left !important;margin-bottom:0px !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__readmore{order:5 !important;text-align:left !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__meta{order:10 !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__featured-image img{height:300px !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__title a{color:var(--theme-palette-color-5,#ffffff) !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__title a:hover{color:var(--theme-palette-color-5,#ffffff) !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__excerpt,.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__excerpt p{color:var(--theme-palette-color-5,#ffffff) !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__readmore a{color:var(--theme-palette-color-5,#ffffff) !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-blog-posts__readmore a:hover{color:var(--theme-palette-color-2,#d95204) !important}.ugb-c537516 .ugb-inner-block{text-align:left}.ugb-c537516.ugb-blog-posts{background-color:#000000;background-attachment:fixed;background-image:url(http:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/background.jpg);background-position:bottom center}.ugb-c537516.ugb-blog-posts:before{background-color:#000000;opacity:0.5}@media screen and (min-width:768px){.ugb-c537516.ugb-blog-posts{margin-top:130px !important}}@media screen and (min-width:768px) and (max-width:1025px){.ugb-c537516.ugb-blog-posts{margin-top:80px !important}}<\/style><div class=\"ugb-inner-block ugb-inner-block--center\"><div class=\"ugb-block-content\"><article class=\"ugb-blog-posts__item\"><div class=\"ugb-blog-posts__content\"><figure class=\"ugb-blog-posts__featured-image ugb--shadow-3\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/?p=3639&#038;lang=en\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" src=\"https:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Kumbh-Mela-Swachhta-Doot-2-1024x576.jpg\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" width=\"1024\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Kumbh-Mela-Swachhta-Doot-2-1024x576.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Kumbh-Mela-Swachhta-Doot-2-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Kumbh-Mela-Swachhta-Doot-2-768x432.jpg 768w, https:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/10\/Kumbh-Mela-Swachhta-Doot-2.jpg 1511w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><h3 class=\"ugb-blog-posts__title\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sanatankultura.com\/?p=3639&#038;lang=en\">Kumbha Mela<\/a><\/h3><div class=\"ugb-blog-posts__excerpt\"><p>The meeting all of our senses, mind, consciousness, Atma and Jiva: that is Kumbha Mela.
