Sanatan Dharm is not a separate religion of a single community, its the rules and regulations suggested to human race for better living of all living beings.
For society, wildlife, nature, Civilisation, physical and mental health, .
It must be looking like that i am praising my own religion, but i will try to prove each and every thing with examples in this blog.
Sanathan means which was, is, and will be there, means these rules haven't been laid or modified down by any one, and no one can deny that sanathan dharm (or Hindu religion) is the oldest religion of the earth, its as old as human culture, the oldest culture of the world the Harappa civilisation's remains are found in India, and they had good knowledge of living with all the facilities that makes a culture developed, his proves my point.
THE SANATHAN DHARAM AND THE HINDU RELIGION
HINDU means one who doesn't do any violence, its the name given by the outsiders who invaded the area of India and naibhour Real name of this religion is Sanathan.Hinduism has been blessed with a plethora of religious scriptures. These numerous works can be placed under 5 general categories: Shrutis, Smritis, Darshanas, Puranas, and Tantras-Agamas-Samhitas.
The Vedas are the Shrutis, or Divinely Revealed, scriptures in Hinduism, and are considered to be the most authoritative texts in Sanatana Dharma (but the acceptance of the Vedas' authority is not required for one to be a Hindu). The word veda literally means "knowledge." There are four Vedas in all: Rig, Yajur, Sama, and Atharva. Originally, the Vedas were passed on from generation to generation orally, because the ancient Hindu sages believed that the eternal truths of the Vedas could be contaminated, manipulated, or erased if they were ever written down. The Upanishads are the philosophical parts of the Vedas; 108 of them have been discovered so far.
The Smritis are the lawbooks and manuals of Hinduism, and they have lesser authority than the shrutis. There are many smriti scriptures, the most popular being the Manu Smriti, the Mahabharata, the Ramayana, and the Bhagvad Gita. The Bhagvad Gita, or The Divine Song, is perhaps the most popular of all Hindu scriptures. It records the teachings of Lord Krishna, an incarnation of Lord Vishnu, to his friend and disciple Arjuna, a great warrior during a battle between the Pandava clan and the Kaurava clan.
The Darshanas are the scriptures of the various philosophical schools of Sanatana Dharma. There are six astik, or orthodox, schools of philosophical thought in Sanatana Dharma: Sankhya, Yoga, Mimamsa, Vedanta, Nyaya, and Vaisheshika. They vary in their approach to and definition of Moksha and God, but teach basically the same code of conduct for all human beings, known as dharma.
The Puranas, 18 in all, are the chronciles of ancient Hindu history as well as a collection of fables and stories intended to teach the common masses certain moral, ethical, and spiritual lessons.
The Tantras, Agamas, and Samhitas are the scriptures of the great religious traditions of Shaktism, Shaivism, and Vaishnavism, respectively.

- Not to kill any living being in sanathan dharam its has been strictly directed to eat only vegetarian, which dosnt includes egg or fish.
DAAN ( Charity)
Its said that this is the best good thing 1 can do in this era, but the charity given should be to a deserving and needy person, else it's of less importance.
