Sanatana Dharma -(Not Hinduism). is purely an individual religion. It is not a group religion, it is not a social religion. The strict practitioners may not even live among human society.

You acquire knowledge about your likes and dislikes and choose the philosophy you like. No two individual is going to choose exactly the same path.

Over a period of time a number of things have been said or written purporting to be by God or from God. I do not believe in all such sayings. It is like supermarket, choose what you like and leave the rest.

You also must find for yourself your personal definition of GOD.
I follow Advata Philosophy, and my God is some of all energy. To me energy is neither shaivite or Vaishnavite, nor is it inanimate or animate, you can not ascribe any form, structure, or definition.
I live by my principles within the principles of community, state, and universe.

The same electric Energy manifests as light in your lamp, turns your computer, runs your fan, or cooks food microwave and we perceive each as separate function but it is same. Similarly You can perceive GOD in any form or symbol, it is your choice.
