I read that Hindu is foreign word and However, the Persians could not pronounce the letter "S" correctly in their native tongue and mispronounced it as "H." Thus, for the ancient Persians, the word "Sindhu" became "Hindu."

So what is the real name of Hindu Dharma? Also what is the meaning of its real name?

  • @Bharat The link of the question you suggested does not contain the meaning of it on your link. So I just wanted people to know the meaning of our real Dharma and its name too, That is why I wrote this page. Anyways, Thank you for your activeness. – prem30488 Aug 03 '14 at 11:26
  • @ParthTrivedi: if you carefully read all the answers of that question, you will find what you are looking for. IMHO this is a duplicate. – Vedantism Aug 03 '14 at 14:58
  • Dear Pratik, where is the meaning written? – prem30488 Aug 04 '14 at 05:58
  • Prior to that, the practitioners of the native religion of India called their religion, ‘Sanãtan Dharma’ – the Eternal Religion. It was known as eternal, because the Truths revealed by it are true today, were true before this universe existed, and will be true even after the destruction of the universe.
  • To the native, i.e ancestors of today's Hindus, their religion was just called Dharma. Dharma came in many flavors like Sanathana Dharma with it's various sects, Buddha Dharma & Jina Dharma with their sects.

  • This is not meaning. Dharma's meaning is religion. What I am asking is the meaning of Hinduism or its actual name which is sanatana Dharma. – prem30488 Aug 06 '14 at 05:33
  • Eternal Religion. Case closed – Vedantism Aug 06 '14 at 05:36
  • Yes, but these two words, I did not find in that question, that's why I asked and answered this question. – prem30488 Aug 06 '14 at 05:40
