The religion of Sanatana Dharma is the most ancient, continuously practiced spiritual tradition on earth. Culturally relevant and imperative in the contemporary era, this work has been preserved and reproduced as the fundamental knowledge base of a civilization. This selected guide is an attempt to keep the ethos of Hinduism alive and relevant. The term 'Sanatana Dharma' is translated from the Sanskrit language to English as the 'Eternal Natural Way;' thereby making Hinduism a way of living-within nature, alongside nature and through nature. This comprehensive work touches upon all the aspects of this Sanatana philosophy for spiritual enlightenment.

The Religion based on the Vedas, the Sanatana Dharma, or Vaidika Dharma, is the oldest of living Religions, and stands unrivalled in the depth and splendour of its philosophy, while it yields to none in the purity of its ethical teachings and in the flexibility and varied adaptation of its rites and ceremonies. "It is like river, which has shallows that a child may play in, and depths which the strongest diver cannot fathom." It is thus adapted to every human need, and there is nothing which any religion can supply to add to its rounded perfection. The more it is studied, the more does it illuminate the intellect and satisfy the heart. The youth who learns something of it is laying up for himself a sure increaser of happiness, a sure consolation in trouble. for the rest of his life.

"That which supports, that which holds together the peoples of the universe), that is Dharma."

Dharma is not merely a set of beliefs having no necessary connection with the daily life of humanity, but it is the very principles of a healthy and beneficent life. Therefore to know those principles and act upon them is to be, a true Aryan (or follower of Vaidika Dharma), and to tread the sure road to happiness, individual as well as general. The etymological meaning of "religion" is also the same, "that which binds together." "Vaidika" means "pertaining to the Veda or Perfect Knowledge. "Hence Vaidika Dharma means "the Religion of Perfect Knowledge."
