Q What is Hinduism and what do followers call it?
A
Hinduism is the world's oldest continuously practiced religion, with roots stretching back more than 4,000 years. Adherents traditionally refer to the faith as Sanatana Dharma, a Sanskrit phrase meaning "the eternal way" or "eternal law." It is a highly diverse spiritual tradition encompassing a wide range of philosophies, texts, and rituals, rather than a single doctrine managed by a centralized religious authority.
