Sanatana Dharma: An Elementary Text Book of Hindu Religion and Ethics - Paperback

by Central Hindu College (Author)

Sanatana Dharma means the Eternal Religion. This Religion has also been called the Aryan Religion, because it is the Religion that was given to the first nation of the Aryan race; Arya means noble, and the name was given to a great race, much finer in character and appearance than the races which went before it in the world's history. The first families of these people settled in the northern part of the land now called India, and that part in which they first settled was named Aryavarta, because these Aryans lived in it. In later days the Religion was called the Hindu Religion, and this is the name by which -it is now usually known. It is the oldest of living Religions, and no other Religion has produced so many greatmen-great teachers, great writers, great sages, greatsaints, great kings, great warriors, great statesmen, great benefactors, great patriots, The more you know of it, the more you will honor and love it, and the more thankful you will be that you were born in to it. But unless you grow up worthy of it, this great and holy Religion will do you no good.Read it to Know more
