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.
