Sanatan Dharma encompasses everything
The Sunday Guardian
|June 22, 2025
From the sacred Bindu to fierce Kali, Sanatan Dharma embraces all forms—symbolic, divine, and raw—anchored in faith, surrender, and the essence of universal truth.
From the very esoteric Bindu, literally a dot, to the most detailed carving, Sanatan Dharma encompasses everything. All these stand in as symbols of Faith. Take away the Faith element and these become nothing more than kids play acting with variously shaped dolls.
One of the long-standing allegations against Sanatan Dharma is that we are idol worshippers. The correct answer would be to say that we worship idols too. Bhagwan is a word which symbolizes the Divine in Sanatan Dharma. Bhagwan literally means that Power which has the ability to become the seamlessness of the sea, the mangoness of mangoes, sunness of the Sun and so on and so forth. This capability to become the very essence of EVERYTHING is that of God.
