The Basics Of The Sanatana Dharma

The firm belief in the truth of inevitable interconnectedness of all movable-immovable and visible-invisible in the universe, thus Universal Unity, and the acceptance of the reality of the existence of the Unity-Creating Power or Authority, are the two foremost basics of the Sanatana Dharma.

- Dr. Ravindra Kumar

The One Indivisible Whole or Totality, which is addressed by different names according to Its virtues – attributes and universal functions, includes all visible-invisible and movable-immovable in the universe in Its periphery and, thus, forms Universal Unity.

Thus, in clear terms the belief in the reality of the One Indivisible Whole or Totality and Universal Oneness or Unity are the first and the second fundamentals of the Sanatana Dharma.

No other religious belief, social thought or scientific theory can negate the state of these two basics of the Sanatana Dharma, i.e., the firm belief in the One Indivisible Totality and the perpetuity of Universal Unity. Even an atheist also cannot deny this truth. Every social thinker, scientist or even an atheist, in one way or the other, accepts the fact that the cosmic order is governed by an ever-flowing universal law. There is nothing outside the horizon of the universal law; no one is beyond the domain of the universal law. The same universal law is the Order of an Indivisible Totality. It pervades everywhere and, thus, is the Creator and the Preserver of Universal Unity.

It is also almost accepted that there is a direct-indirect interdependence of all movable-immovable and visible-invisible prevailing in the universe. This state also automatically proves that the truth of universal oneness exists and, thus, seals the both, the first and the second fundamentals of the Sanatana Dharma.
