Timeless Sanskrit Slokas on Sanatana Dharma From Ancient Epics.- Page 3

I already knew about the Vedas, but more about the philosophical content (didn't retain the different names)... my focus also is/was on the Sanatana Dharma ('the 6 a').

Although I'm not religious, I'm interested in what religions give as guide for human behaviour relative to their own life, their connection with other humans and how the Universe influences human life...

While I am aware that the Vedas are not historically the oldest texts, they hold a world record that I find fascinating: they represent the oldest continuously practiced religious tradition in the world, passed down exactly from generation to generation over millennia through a highly developed, purely oral tradition of recitation.

I find religions fascinating for the guidance they have offered humanity for centuries. Across different cultures and civilizations, religions have explored fundamental questions about how human beings should live, how we should treat one another, and how our individual lives relate to the larger Universe.

For centuries, religion has provided people with moral principles, a sense of purpose, explanations for suffering and mortality, and frameworks for understanding their place in the world. It has also shaped communities, traditions, laws, art, literature, festivals, and social values. While religious beliefs differ greatly, many traditions share concerns about compassion, responsibility, self-discipline, justice, and the relationship between human beings and the greater order of existence.

In that sense, studying religion is not necessarily about accepting or rejecting faith; it can also be a way of understanding humanity itself, our search for meaning, our relationship with others, and our enduring curiosity about the Universe and our place within it.

That was and is the reason why I was and still am interested in religions without having the faith in even one of the systems.
