Frequently Asked Questions on Eternal Dharma

Q) Why the Name EternalDharma?

EternalDharma is the English translation of Sanatana Dharma, which all the Dharmic religions call themselves to be. Hinduism, Buddhism, Sikhism have been called Sanatana Dharma by the founders or Gurus of respective branches. Jainism calls itself Shashwata Dharma which also hints at the same essence.

The name also suggests that Dharma itself is eternal, it does not depend on specific founders, these ideas are eternal.
