Sanatan Dharma: The Thought of Eternal Path of Peace and Unity

The Kumbh Mela, the world's largest spiritual gathering, stands as a living testament to the enduring relevance of Sanatan Dharma. A remarkable example of Sanatan Dharma's global influence is Laurene Powell Jobs, the widow of late Apple founder Steve Jobs. In 2025, she attended the Mahakumbh in Prayagraj, deeply moved by Hindu teachings and spiritual practices. Under the guidance of her guru, Swami Kailashanand Giri, head seer of Panchayati Akhada Shri Niranjani, Laurene embraced Sanatan Dharma and was given the Hindu name 'Kamala.' Swami Kailashanand Giri shared that Laurene, having reached the pinnacle of material success, now seeks spiritual fulfillment and knowledge of Sanatan Dharma. Her simplicity, humility, and commitment to learning are evident in her lifestyle, as she stayed in the 'Shivir' for four days like a common devotee and follows a strict vegetarian diet, abstaining from garlic and onion. Her journey reflects a growing global interest in Sanatan Dharma as a source of inner peace and purpose.

Another overseas lady visitor at this sacred event shared a profound experience, offering a glimpse into the deep philosophy that guides millions. Emotionally, she expressed, "I can feel in my heart that Sanatan Dharma is a profound philosophy for humanity to find peace. It is about morality, love, and serving God, and these values seem to be missing in our Western culture." हिंदी में पढ़िए

Sanatan Dharma, often referred to as the "Eternal Duty" or "Eternal Order," is the ancient spiritual foundation of Hinduism. It is not confined to rituals but is deeply rooted in universal values such as truth, compassion, non-violence, and selfless service. Rooted in sacred texts like the Vedas, Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, and Puranas, this dharma emphasizes harmonious living with nature and all beings. The fundamental purpose of any religion is to teach people "how to think." Sanatan Dharma inspires individuals to reflect on karma—good and bad deeds—and understand the consequences of their actions. Based on their actions, individuals accumulate four principal types of karma: Sanchit Karma (accumulated past karma), Prarabdha Karma (karma currently bearing fruit), Kriyamana Karma (actions being performed now), and Agami Karma (future karma to be experienced). When individuals create imbalances or "karma gaps," they continue to reincarnate to experience the results of their deeds until the deep-rooted desire for salvation and liberation (moksha) profoundly impacts their life.

The world today, and throughout history, has suffered from violence, wars, and countless killings. Humans have not only been cruel to one another but have also shown a lack of compassion towards animals, birds, and other creatures. Most religions practiced today struggle to bind humanity into thoughts of kindness and reflection on the repercussions of their actions. Only Sanatan Dharma and its ancient sages deeply understood the soul, its journey, and the consequences of one’s deeds. This profound understanding encourages individuals to consider their actions and their outcomes, guiding them toward true peace and balance in life.

The lady visitor's journey to the Kumbh Mela encapsulates the essence of Sanatan Dharma. She said, "Early this morning around 4 AM, I took a holy dip after a walk on the beach. It was an incredible experience to take a dip with so many wonderful people. It is God's mercy that I am here, and I feel like crying out of deep gratitude. Witnessing so many people yearning for purification, liberation, freedom, and peace for all humanity is deeply moving. Such a gathering is possible only in India."

Her story reflects the timeless appeal of Sanatan Dharma—a philosophy that invites individuals to seek personal peace and contribute to collective harmony. The tradition of bathing in sacred rivers symbolizes penance for past misdeeds and the renewal of the soul, demonstrating a belief in continuous self-improvement and spiritual growth.

The teachings of Sanatan Dharma are not confined to a single sect or region. Its inclusivity allows people from diverse backgrounds to connect with its principles. The lady visitor's journey began 35 years ago at the Kriya Yoga Temple in Chicago, where she first studied the Bhagavad Gita. Over time, studying the Shrimad Bhagavatam and various Vedas deepened her understanding and connection to this ancient wisdom. She shared, "Sanatan Dharma is about love and serving God. This is something missing in Western culture, and I believe everyone can learn from it."

The Kumbh Mela itself is a testament to the unifying power of Sanatan Dharma. Millions gather in devotion, transcending social and economic divisions, united in a shared quest for spiritual elevation. The confluence of the Ganga, Yamuna, and the mystical Saraswati rivers is a powerful symbol of the union between the physical and spiritual realms.

In a world grappling with division and unrest, the principles of Sanatan Dharma serve as an eternal guide to fostering peace, compassion, and unity. As the visitor beautifully expressed, witnessing the collective aspiration for purification and liberation affirms the enduring relevance of this Eternal #VRightPath.

Sanatan Dharma continues to inspire people worldwide to walk the path of righteousness, love, and selfless service—a path that not only uplifts the soul but also brings harmony across the world.

Respect Sanatan Culture: 10 Things Every Sanatani Must Know

By VRight Path ॐ गं गणपतये नमः In today’s fast-paced and globalized world, it's easy to unknowingly adopt words, habits, and concepts that may contradict the values of our timeless Sanatan Dharma. It’s important for every follower of this ancient tradition to understand and preserve the depth and dignity of our culture. Here are some essential points that every Sanatani should know and remember: 1. Say “Bhagwan Ram” or “Bhagwan Krishna” – Not “Lord” Ask yourself: Were Bhagwan Ram or Bhagwan Krishna ever members of England’s “House of Lords”? Then why use the title “Lord”? The English term does not carry the same spiritual reverence as the word “Bhagwan,” which signifies divinity and supreme consciousness in Sanatan Dharma. Let’s use our own respectful expressions: Bhagwan Shri Ram , Bhagwan Shri Krishna . 2. Avoid Saying “RIP” The phrase Rest In Peace (RIP) originates from burial customs and assumes the soul rests at one place. ...

Understanding what a good person gives us, and what a bad person silently takes away, is essential for living a meaningful life. ( हिंदी में पढ़ें ) What Does a Good Person Give?

When Numbers Aren’t Enough: The Cosmic Caution Behind the Ahmedabad Plane Tragedy

By VRIGHTPATH – An Eternal Knowledge Platform to Bridge Your Karma Gaps On June 12, 2025, tragedy struck as Air India Flight AI-171 , a Boeing 787-8 en route from Ahmedabad to London, crashed shortly after takeoff, resulting in the loss of 270 plus lives, including those living at the fatal accident site. Read in Hindi The event left the nation shocked, not only because of the magnitude of loss but also due to the mysterious alignments surrounding the incident — both numerological and astrological.

Are Muslims Descendants of Lord Ram and Krishna? A Historical and Sanatan Perspective

By VRight Path Introduction The question of shared ancestry between Muslims and the ancient figures of Sanatan Dharma—such as Lord Shri Ram and Lord Shri Krishna —touches upon deep historical, spiritual, and genealogical currents in Indian civilization. While Islam as a religion was founded in the 7th century CE, the roots of Sanatan Dharma go back many thousands of years, based on scriptural and traditional timelines. In this article let’s explore whether Muslims may have ancestral ties to Lord Shri Ram and Shri Ram Krishna through historical conversions, and how various ancient Indian calendars— Shrishti Samvat , Saptarishi Samvat , and Kali Yuga —establish the antiquity of Sanatan Dharma far before Islam’s origin. Genealogy and Religious Identity: The Human Perspective Are Muslims Descendants of Shri Ram and Shri Krishna? Religions change over time, but genealogy (biological ancestry) often does not. Many Muslims in South Asia are d...

Shravan: A Month of Ecological Wisdom, Spiritual Alignment & Shared Compassion

By Ayesha Rana, Co-Founder, VRIGHT PATH In India, the month of Shravan —associated with Lord Shiva —is revered as a sacred period of fasting, prayer, and spiritual discipline. But there’s a reason why this month does not begin on the same date everywhere. More importantly, there is a far deeper logic to its observance than simply abstaining from meat or alcohol. ( Hindi ) Why Does Shravan Start on Different Dates Across India? India follows two distinct lunar calendar systems : Amanta system (month ends with Amavasya) — followed in South & West India (Maharashtra, Gujarat, Karnataka, Andhra, Telangana, etc.) Purnimanta system (month ends with Purnima) — followed in North & Central India (UP, Bihar, MP, Rajasthan, Uttarakhand, etc.) This causes a one-month difference , so while Shravan in North India has started on July 10 , in the South, it will start from 25 July 2025. Shravan Is More Than Abstinence: It's Ecol...

The Srishti Samvat: Oldest and Divine Calendar Based on Creation

B y Aryan Rana, Founder VRIGHTPATH Modern science emerged only a few centuries ago, while ancient Indian knowledge about the universe, time, and creation has been passed down through millennia. This raises an intriguing question: how do the profound insights found in ancient Indian texts and calendars, particularly the Srishti Samvat, align with or even challenge the discoveries of modern science? The Srishti Samvat, a divine calendar based on the cosmic cycles of creation, presents a unique perspective on time that transcends the linear approach of modern scientific thinking, offering a more holistic, cyclical understanding of the universe and our place within it. Origins and History The Srishti Samvat stands as a unique and sacred calendar, deeply rooted in the ancient Vedic teachings of India. The term "Srishti" refers to creation, and Samvat refers to a system of years. Together, they form the “ divine calendar of creation ,” a framework believed to be div...

India inflicted a 113-run defeat on Bangladesh in the first Test, with a session of play left on the fifth and final day, at the Zohur Ahmed Chowdhury stadium in Chittagong on Thursday Jan 21,2010.
