The core concept of Sanathan Dharma that is still relevant in today’s day and age

It is not correct to call the Sanathan  Dharma  a “religion”. Unlike traditional “religions” and even the “religion” practiced by the “ Hindus “, the actual essence of the Sanathan  Dharma  is that there is no dogma, single supreme scripture, rituals, pilgrimages, sacrifices or only one single and ultimate path to  Brahman . The actual essence of the Sanathan  Dharma  is  philosophy . The meaning of the word  philosophy  is  “Love of Wisdom”. Like  philosophy , the true version of the Sanathan  Dharma  is to pursue  Truth  and to question and try to answer the most fundamental matters of self, existence, knowledge, reason, liberation and other basic philosophical concepts. The  Mahakavya  (Grand Pronouncement) of the  Vedanta  school of the Sanathan  Dharma  is: तत्त्वम्असि   Tat TvamAsi That   is the   Truth ,   That   is the   Self ,   Brahman   is   You This is very different from the  Abrahamic Religions , which are based not on a pursuit of truth,
