The Name of Dharm according to the Geeta – Arya, Sanatan, Hindu:
In the beginning of the Geeta, the Lord said:
Kutstva Kasmalmidam Vishame Samupathitam.
Anaryajustamaswargyamakirtikamarjun
O Arjun! How such an ignorance is born at this critical juncture? Neither it is conducive to your reputation nor to your well being, nor any ancestor ever behaved like this. ‘Anaryajushtam’ From where you have learnt such anti- Aryan Conduct? The Geeta is the code of the Arya. Nothing exist except the soul. He who has faith in its existence, is Arya; he who is devoted to God is Arya. He who translates the technique of Yoga (Yagya) into conduct if the faithful Arya. He has obtained the essence of Arayanism (This is spiritual terminology)
Soul is eternal. He who is the worshipper of it, is the follower of Sanatan Dharm. That eternal soul is enshrined in the heart. ‘Hridi Sarvasya Visthitam’ (Geeta, 13/17). In the 15th Chapter, the lord says – ‘ Ishwarah Sarva Bhootanam Hrideshearjun Tisthati’ (Geeta, 18/61) Arjun! God is present the heart of all the creatures. The worshipper of heart situated God, came to be known as Hindu. So, he, who is devoted to the existence, is Arya; he who realizes this eternal self is the follower of Sanatan Dharm (Eternal Religion) and he who is devoted to the God situated in the heart is known as Hindu. With the passage of time, the names change but all the three name breathe the same messages.
For better understanding, go through the Eternal commentary of Shrimad Bhagwad Geeta known as ‘Yatharth Geeta’.
