It is the eternal function of the eternal living entities in relationship with the eternal Supreme Lord. San\u00e4tana-dharma refers, as stated previously, to the eternal occupation of the living entity. Sri R\u00e4m\u00e4nuj\u00e4c\u00e4rya, a legendry Acharya in the line Bhakti-yoga has explained the word san\u00e4tana as &#8220;that which has neither beginning nor end,&#8221; so when we speak of san\u00e4tana-dharma, we must take it for granted on the authority of Sri R\u00e4m\u00e4nuj\u00e4c\u00e4rya that it has neither beginning nor end. In other words, Sanatan means eternal and cannot be restricted within the boundaries of time, space, nation, caste, color, or creed.<\/p><span style=\"display:block; font-size:0;height:0;\">Seat for abdominals to do sports at home bodybuilding exercises at home fitness seat for abdominals <a href=\"https:\/\/bigswings.com\/deca-durabolin-for-bodybuilding\/\" title=\"deca bodybuilding\">deca bodybuilding<\/a> thick mat exercise yoga pilates fitness great<\/span>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"200\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-5.png\" alt=\"what is sanatana dharma\" class=\"wp-image-1309\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-5.png 200w, https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-5-150x150.png 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 200px) 100vw, 200px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>The word Dharma refers to the intrinsic characteristic of the living being. That means the Dharma of the living being cannot be changed. When we use the word \u2018living being or living entity\u2019 we refer to all the spirit souls who are embodied in various species of life. \u2018Dharma\u2019 is characteristic of the soul which is independent of the type of body in which the soul is residing.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Religion_vs_Dharma\"><\/span><strong>Religion vs Dharma<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The English world religion is a little different from San\u00e4tana-dharma. Religion conveys the idea of faith, and faith may change. One may have faith in a particular process, and he may change this faith and adopt another, but san\u00e4tana-dharma refers to that activity that cannot be changed. For instance, liquidity cannot be taken from water, nor can heat be taken from fire. To make it clear, we can say that \u2018Dharma of sugar is sweetness\u2019.<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"624\" height=\"302\" src=\"https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-6.png\" alt=\"sanatana dharma\" class=\"wp-image-1310\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-6.png 624w, https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-6-300x145.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 624px) 100vw, 624px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the eternal function of the eternal living entity cannot be taken from the living entity. San\u00e4tana-dharma is eternally integral with the living entity. When we speak of san\u00e4tana-dharma, therefore, we must take it for granted on the authority of Sri R\u00e4m\u00e4nuj\u00e4c\u00e4rya that it has neither beginning nor end. That which has neither end nor beginning must not be sectarian, for it cannot be limited by any boundaries. Those belonging to some sectarian faith will wrongly consider that san\u00e4tana-dharma is also sectarian, but if we go deeper into the matter and consider it in the light of modern science, it is possible for us to see that san\u00e4tana-dharma is the business of all the people of the world\u2014nay, of all the living entities of the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Our_Original_Dharma\"><\/span><strong>Our Original Dharma<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Then what is the dharma of the soul? Since the soul is eternal, the original nature or characteristic or dharma of the soul must also be eternal. Somehow or other, the eternal soul is trapped in this temporary material world. In this material world we find that everything is temporary. It comes into being, stays for some time, produces some by-products, dwindles and then vanishes. That is the law of the material world, whether we use as an example this body, or a piece of fruit or anything. When entrapped by the material nature, the soul adopts various artificial dharmas based on his false identification with the body<\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"584\" height=\"278\" src=\"https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-7.png\" alt=\"what is sanatana dharma\" class=\"wp-image-1311\" srcset=\"https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-7.png 584w, https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-7-300x143.png 300w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>Someone born in a Hindu family will say, &#8220;I am a Hindu,&#8221; someone born in a Muslim family will claim, &#8220;I am a Muslim,&#8221; someone born in a Christian family will claim, &#8220;I am a Christian,&#8221; and so on. When the man professes to belong to a particular type of faith with reference to a particular time and circumstance and thus claims to be a Hindu, Muslim, Christian, Buddhist or an adherent of any other sect. Such designations are non-san\u00e4tana-dharma. Non-san\u00e4tana religious faith may have some beginning in the annals of human history, but there is no beginning to the history of san\u00e4tana-dharma, because it remains eternally with the living entities. &nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>As we have already explained, living entity\u2019s real identity is the spirit soul\u2014aha\u00e0 brahm\u00e4smi: &#8220;I am Brahman. I am a spirit soul.&#8221; When we come to that platform of spiritual understanding, our essential characteristic becomes clear. &nbsp;A Hindu may change his faith to become a Muslim, or a Muslim may change his faith to become a Hindu, or a Christian may change his faith, and so on. But in all circumstances, the change of religious faith does not affect the eternal occupation of rendering service to others. The Hindu, Muslim or Christian in all circumstances is the servant of someone. Thus, to profess a particular type of faith is not to profess one&#8217;s san\u00e4tana-dharma. The rendering of service is san\u00e4tana-dharma.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Sanatan_Dharma\"><\/span><strong>The Sanatan Dharma<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>When San\u00e4tana Gosv\u00e4m\u00e9 asked \u00c7r\u00e9 Caitanya Mah\u00e4prabhu about the svar\u00fcpa of every living being, the Lord replied that the svar\u00fcpa, or constitutional position, of the living being is the rendering of service to the Supreme Personality of Godhead. <\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"284\" height=\"261\" src=\"https:\/\/learngitalivegita.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/05\/image-8.png\" alt=\"what is sanatana dharma\" class=\"wp-image-1312\"\/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n<p>If we analyze this statement of Lord Caitanya&#8217;s, we can easily see that every living being is constantly engaged in rendering service to another living being. A living being served other living beings in various capacities. By doing so, the living entity enjoys life. The lower animals serve human beings as servants serve their master. A serves B master, B serves C master, and C serves D master, and so on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Under these circumstances, we can see that one friend serves another friend, the mother serves the son, the wife serves the husband, the husband serves the wife, and so on. If we go on searching in this spirit, it will be seen that there is no exception in the society of living beings to the activity of service. The politician presents his manifesto to the public to convince them of his capacity for service. The voters, therefore, give the politician their valuable votes, thinking that he will render valuable service to society. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The shopkeeper serves the customer, and the artisan serves the capitalist. The capitalist serves the family, and the family serves the state in the terms of the eternal capacity of the eternal living being. In this way we can see that no living being is exempt from rendering service to other living beings, and therefore we can safely conclude that service is the constant companion of the living being and that the rendering of service is the eternal religion or Sanatan Dharma of the living being.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Beyond this temporary world, there is another world of which we have information. That world consists of another nature, which is san\u00e4tana, eternal. J\u00e9va is also described as san\u00e4tana, eternal, and the Lord is also described as san\u00e4tana in the Eleventh Chapter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>We have an intimate relationship with the Lord, and because we are all qualitatively one\u2014the san\u00e4tana-dh\u00e4ma, or sky, the san\u00e4tana Supreme Personality and the san\u00e4tana living entities\u2014the whole purpose of Bhagavad-g\u00e9t\u00e4 is to revive our san\u00e4tana occupation, or san\u00e4tana-dharma, which is the eternal occupation of the living entity. &nbsp;It is explained in Srimad Bhagavatam (1.2.6)<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-text-align-center\"><em>sa vai pu\u1e41s\u0101\u1e41 paro dharmo<br>yato bhaktir adhok\u1e63aje<br>ahaituky apratihat\u0101<br>yay\u0101tm\u0101 supras\u012bdati<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Translation: <strong>The supreme occupation [dharma] for all humanity is that by which men can attain to loving devotional service unto the transcendent Lord. Such devotional service must be unmotivated and uninterrupted to completely satisfy the self<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>&nbsp;The supreme dharma of the soul is bhakti, devotional service to the Supreme Lord. That is our essential characteristic. Everyone is already a devotee\u2014a devotee of his country, his society, his family, his wife, his children, and his senses. No one can say, &#8220;I do not serve anyone.&#8221; You must serve, because that is your dharma. If a person has no one to serve, he keeps a cat or dog and serves it. So to render loving service to someone else is our essential characteristic. But we are missing the point. We love cats and dogs and so many other things, but we are neglecting to love God. Therefore, we are not getting real happiness. When we shall direct our love toward the proper object\u2014Adhok\u00f1aja, or K\u00e5\u00f1\u00eba\u2014we&#8217;ll become happy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Lord_Incarnates_to_revive_our_Original_Dharma\"><\/span><strong>The Lord Incarnates to revive our Original Dharma<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The Supreme Lord and His transcendental abode are both san\u00e4tana, as are the living entities, and the combined association of the Supreme Lord and the living entities in the san\u00e4tana abode is the perfection of human life. The Lord is very kind to the living entities because they are His sons. Lord K\u00e5\u00f1\u00eba declares in Bhagavad-g\u00e9t\u00e4, 14.4<\/p>\n\n\n\n<pre class=\"wp-block-verse has-text-align-center\"><em>sarva-yoni\u1e63u kaunteya<\/em><em><br>m\u016brtaya\u1e25 sambhavanti y\u0101\u1e25<br>t\u0101s\u0101\u1e41 brahma mahad yonir<br>aha\u1e41 b\u012bja-prada\u1e25 pit\u0101<\/em><\/pre>\n\n\n\n<p>Translation: <strong>It should be understood that all species of life, O son of Kunt\u012b, are made possible by birth in this material nature, and that I am the seed-giving father.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of course there are all types of living entities according to their various karmas, but here the Lord claims that He is the father of all of them. Therefore the Lord descends to reclaim all of these fallen, conditioned souls, to call them back to the san\u00e4tana eternal sky so that the san\u00e4tana living entities may regain their eternal san\u00e4tana positions in eternal association with the Lord. The Lord comes Himself in different incarnations, or He sends His confidential servants as sons or His associates or \u00e4c\u00e4ryas to reclaim the conditioned souls. The Lord establishes the particular mode of spiritual practice for different ages, by which the living entity can regain his constitutional position of rendering transcendental loving devotional service to Lord Krishna.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Final_Chance\"><\/span><strong>The Final Chance<\/strong><strong><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The age of Kali is saturated with all bad qualities.
