Hinduism is Sanatana Dharma
http://voi.org/
Hinduism is Sanatana Dharma, the Eternal Tradition. It has no beginning, therefore no end.
It is often said that it is not even a religion. In a sense it is true. Hinduism is no religion; it is Dharma. Religion is a particular system of faith, with a "Holy Book", a predominantly male God, a Prophet, privileged People and divided Humanity. Hinduism has no such structure and Dharma no such definition. Some say it is a way of life. Though not wrong but this is not its complete definition, as there cannot be any, because definitions confine and limit, while dharma cannot be confined. Religion and dharma are mutually untranslatable terms
Hinduism accepts various ways and paths to self-realization, as it isn’t exclusivist. However, this does not mean that it accepts every wrong way also
For maintaining its plurality, it has to exclude the exclusivism of Organized Religion and distance itself from these adharmic traditions
