Sanatan Dharma (सनातन धर्म) is a Sanskrit term that translates to "Eternal Dharma" or "Eternal Order." It is a term often used to describe Hinduism in its most timeless and universal form. While "Hinduism" is the more commonly used term in modern contexts, "Sanatan Dharma" emphasizes the eternal, spiritual, and philosophical aspects of the tradition, transcending specific historical or cultural interpretations.
