Original Message Many people associate the Vedas with "Hinduism". But the term or word Hinduism or Hindu will not be found in the Vedas.

As far as the Vedas are concerned, the Vedas are not for "Hindus" but for all living entities. This is the very first thing to be understood.

What you find in the Vedas is sanaatana dharma (suh-nah-tuh-nuh duh-arm). Sanaatana means Eternal and dharma means occupation.

There are 2 kinds of eternal, spiritual energies.

The Infinitesimal living entity, and the Infinite God.

The Individual Soul of a living entity is Infinitesimal, while the Super Soul is Infinite, but they are both Eternal.

The living entity is sanaatana [eternal], God is sanaatana, and there is sanaatana-dharma. Sanaatana-dharma is meant for all living entities, not just the so-called Hindus.

Hinduism, this "ism," that "ism"—these are all misconception. Historically, sanaatana-dharma was followed regularly in India, and Indians were called "Hindus" by the Muslims.

The Muslims saw that the Indians lived on the other side of the River Sind, and the Muslims pronounced Sind as Hind. Therefore they called India "Hindustan" and the people who lived there "Hindus." But the word Hindu has no reference in the Vedic literature.

Now that sanatana-dharma, or Vedic dharma, is being distorted, not being obeyed, not being carried out properly, it has come to be known as Hinduism.

But that is a freak understanding; that is not a real understanding.

We have to study sanatana-dharma as it is described in the Bhagavad-gitaa and other Vedic literatures; then we'll understand what Vedic religion is.
