Sanatana Dharma means the Eternal Religion, the Ancient Law, and it is based on the Vedas, sacred books given to men many long ages ago While the Sruti and the Smart are the foundation and the walls of the Sanatana Dharma, there are two other important supports like buttresses, the Puripas, and the Itihasah, History. This book is an extract from the most important scriptures of Hindus viz., Sruti (that includes four vedas), Smrti (that includes institutions of Manu, Yajnavalkya, Parasara, Vasistha, Vyasa, Gautama, Atri etc..), Puranas (eighteen in numbers) and Itihasa (that includes two great epics Ramayana and Mahabharata). This book was first published in 1904 by Board of Trustees of Central Hindu College, Benares with an aim to constitute the principles on which religious and moral teaching is to be given in all institutions.
