1. What is Special about “ Sanatana Dharma ” ? Prof. Samirsinh P Parmar Department of Civil Engineering, Faculty of Technology, Dharmsinh Desai University, Nadiad, Gujarat, Bharatvatsh.

2. Sanatana Dharma , often referred to as Hinduism, is characterized by several unique features that distinguish it from other religious and philosophical traditions. Some of the key distinctive features are explained in next few slides:

3. Eternal and Universal Philosophy: The term " Sanatana Dharma " itself translates to " Eternal Dharma " or " Eternal Order ." It emphasizes the timeless and universal nature of its philosophical principles, suggesting that the core values and truths are applicable across all ages and for all humanity.

4. Diversity and Pluralism: Hinduism is marked by incredible diversity in beliefs, practices, deities, and rituals. It accommodates a wide range of theological and philosophical perspectives, allowing for individual interpretations and practices. This pluralistic nature is a unique characteristic.

5. Cyclical View of Time: Hindu cosmology follows a cyclical view of time, with the universe undergoing endless cycles of creation, preservation, and dissolution. This contrasts with the linear concept of time in many other religions.

6. Concept of Dharma: Dharma is a central concept in Hinduism, representing the moral and ethical duties and responsibilities that individuals must follow. It varies based on one's age, caste, gender, and social roles. Dharma guides righteous living and is a key aspect of Sanatana Dharma.

7. Karma and Reincarnation: Hinduism teaches the concept of karma, where one's actions have consequences that affect their present and future lives. Reincarnation, the belief in the cycle of rebirth, is closely linked to the law of karma.

8. Moksha (Liberation): The ultimate goal in Hinduism is to attain moksha, liberation from the cycle of birth and death. Various paths, such as devotion ( bhakti ), knowledge ( jnana ), and selfless action (karma), lead to moksha.

9. Yogic Practices: Hinduism has given the world the gift of yoga, a holistic system that combines physical postures ( asanas ), breath control ( pranayama ), meditation, and ethical principles. Yoga is both a spiritual and physical discipline.
