Meaning of Religion
Although the literal meaning of the word dharma is not known
exactly, but a general explanation is possible that dharma means faith and
trust. The belief is that god will always protect him from disaster, which is
not possible for ordinary people. And trust is that God is always with us, the
image of our mind is not unknown to Him.

Short intro about Sanatan Dharma (religion)
People's headache about religion is not much less today!
There is always a conflict between mankind about whose religion is old and
whose religion is the best. But some ancient idols discovered in Jammu and
Kashmir today give some idea of how ancient Sanatan Dharma is. This ancient
idol is second to none. It is one of the great deities of Sanatan Dharma, one
of the three deities “Shri Hari Vishnu”. According to Sanatan Dharma, it is
believed that when the whole world was in the darkness of illiteracy, Gurukul
was prevalent only in India, where the Gurukul was the system of education of
kings and other children like today's schools and colleges. Evidence of the
antiquity of Sanatan Dharma can be gauged from an idol of Sri Hari Vishnu found
in Jammu and Kashmir. With the help of carbon dating test, the age of this
statue is estimated to be about 12 thousand years old.

A 9th-century idol of Lord Vishnu was found among two
ancient sculptures unearthed in Budgam district of Jammu and Kashmir on

sculptures while excavating the land. The police recovered the sculpture and
took it to the district police headquarters. A team from the Department of
Archives, Archeology and Museums was called to examine the statue. They use
carbon dating tests to date the sculpture roughly to the 9th century and to be
about 1,2000 years old. The sculpture is tripartite with four arms, with a lotus
on the upper right of the figure. As in Sanatan Dharma, the image of Lord
Vishnu is painted. The expert team said the sculpture is a blend of the
Gandhara and Mathura schools of art. The other sculpture was recovered from the
Khag area of Budgam. After examination, the team of Department Archives,
