The Vedic culture is known as Sanatan or the eternal culture. Sat Sanatan Dharma is not a religion in the sense of a specific religious doctrine, as most of today's religions are.Sat Sanatan Dharma is a relationship between an individual and the universe; moreover, Dharma implies eternal cosmic wisdom, law and action. Sat- true, Sanatan- eternal and universal, Dharma - what contains and maintains the universe. Sat Sanathan Dharma is therefore what keeps the society and the civilization together by means of proper living.
