Sanātana Dharma (Devanagari: सनातन धर्म, meaning "eternal dharma" or "eternal religion") has been proposed as an alternative, "native" name for Hinduism (Hindi Hindu Dharm हिन्दू धर्म) "Hindu religion". The term was mentioned and explained in depth in Vedic literature (Rig Veda) (4-138) and was used during the Hindu revivalism movement in order to avoid having to use the term "Hindu" which is of non-native (Persian) origin.
In current-day usage, the term Sanatana Dharma is used to emphasize an "orthodox" or sanatani ("eternalist") outlook in contrast to the socio-political Hinduism embraced by movements such as the Arya Samaj.
The phrase dharma sanātana does occur in classical Sanskrit literature, e.g. in the Manusmrti (4-138) and in the Bhagavata Purana,in a sense akin to "cosmic order".

Thank you so so much for making this accessible
Great revelation!! ...the fact that SANATANA DHARMA is about Spiritual Eternalism and is the Mother of Hinduism makes it the original non-religio teachings...simply the principles of life very much aligned with The Universal Law...thank u :)
