Hinduism
To speak of Hinduism as though it were a single, unified tradition is misleading if not altogether inaccurate. Hindus themselves refer to their religion as sanatana dharma, or “eternal truth,” indicating their belief that it transcends temporal origins. What we call Hinduism today is an amalgam of at least two distinct traditions forged over centuries and derived from two dissimilar cultures. And, like most religious traditions, it has continued to evolve and change long after those two spiritual currents had merged.
