The Eternal Dharma and the Tale of the Priest and the Dog
The eternal truth of Sanatana Dharma is universal and transcends all boundaries.
This Dharma is the original and complete foundation. It comes through the Guru, who is of many types, including mother and father. All people, regardless of origin or language, inherently live with an understanding of God. When traveling, one sees that this understanding persists everywhere. The land itself holds ancient evidence of this truth, like sacred names found deep within the earth. Geographical formations and human history are part of a vast, interconnected whole. The essence of being, called Hindu or Indian, signifies this deep, ancient connection to the eternal Dharma. All beings are part of this divine order, and one's actions towards them carry profound consequences.
"Whatever is there, it is for the Guru."
"If you hit this animal... it will go and make it a little better and put it in hell."
