Sanatan Dharma (Myths, Mysteries & Meaning)

Is it merely a religion, or a timeless way of life that transcends belief and ritual? In Sanatan Dharma: Myths, Mysteries & Meaning, Dr Gopal Sharma presents a clear, engaging, and thoughtful introduction to the world's oldest living tradition. Moving beyond blind faith and inherited customs, the book explores Hinduism as a living inquiry into truth, duty, and existence.Drawing from sacred texts, philosophy, history, and everyday practices, it addresses questions often asked by modern minds: Why many gods? What is the real meaning of idol worship? Is Hinduism compatible with science? What is dharma, karma, and rebirth? Is Hinduism a religion or something much larger? Written for students, seekers, sceptics, and believers alike, this book does not preach. It explains, questions, and invites reflection. Sanatan Dharma is a bird's-eye view of a civilisation that has endured by adapting, questioning, and renewing itself-offering timeless wisdom for a changing world. Not a defence of faith, but an invitation to understanding.
