    Hinduism / Sanatana dharma is the oldest of the world's faiths and its origins is dated between 10,000 - 7,000 BCE. It is a dharma or way of life evolved by the great sages and seers of ancient India. Its traditions extend back before recorded history. Despite of the oldness, Hinduism is still a living and growing religion.


    The meaning of the word Sanatana is that which has no beginning or end and that which is there always. Dharma refers to the underlying order in Nature and thus signifies 'the way things are'. Ethically, it means 'right way of living' and 'proper conduct' in a religious sense. With respect to spirituality, dharma might be considered the way of the higher truths.

    When I clicked on the 'enlighenment' link, it said 'FIND ENLIGHTENMENT AT eBAY.COM'.

    I wonder if you can pay for it using paypal?

    It is sad - but also just a bit amusing too.

    Ultimately though, it is not good. At nearly 2 dollars to the GBP now, and that retailing at £27, it works out at 54 days survival money for third-worlders who live on less than a dollar-a-day.

    And if people buy this for their kids, it just reinforces the whole militaristic mentality into the next generation.

    I like it!

    My wife would buy this for me if she saw it, also would have been a great gift for my old boss...something to to replace the "Beverly Hillbillies" puzzle we used to play with during work hours.
