Santana Dharma. The word Hindu was just added later to combine all sects into one.
Dharmikya
He means what do you call a hindu
I think it would be Dharmikya but idk sanskrit
You don't have Sanskrit word for follower of dharma?
dis^
I mean “Hinduism” is Santana Dharma not just Dharma. Dharma is justice.
It’s “Sudharman” one who holds justice.
Hindu is just a container term.
Sudharman
>Sudharman
is that term used in everyday conversation?
There’s also other words. Dharmadhyaksa, Dharmadhikarin, Nyayasthan, Dharmasu. Probably other words too.
>is that term used in everyday conversation?
Irrelevant. Sanskrit is a dead conversational language. In prayers or scriptures which are recited, yes. Sudharman or Nyayasthan is used.
As language yes, but all indian languages have large chunks of words derived from sanskrit words. Things like chacha, bete, pani, raja, pyar etc.
The concept of a religion like the west didnt exist when sanskrit was in common use they just said "aastik" for beliver or "naastik" for non believers but both were considered Hindus because hindu mean people who lived below the indus river
>sudharman
Lol that's my highschool teacher's name
>all indian languages have large chunks of words derived from sanskrit words
And most of those words are also found in Old Persian. Both Sanskrit and Old Persian share the same roots since they originated from Central Asia.
why does the word sanscryt mean "holy writing" in italian?
ITT we wuz wyt
>but all indian languages have large chunks of words derived from sanskrit words
And also, objectively false. “pure” Dravidian languages like Odl Tamil are still spoken. There was a movement in Tamil Nadu to de-sanskritise the 6th century influences. Tamil stands as both a separate language and a Sanskritised one.
Sanskritised Tamil is spoken by Brahmins while the downgraded version of old Tamil is spoken by normal Tamil people.
Words like “Hari” in Sanskrit means King or ruler. Arasan is the sanskritised tamil word for King. Ko or Mannan is the normal Tamil word for King.
why cant yall just forget about our white origins and just be people, its not that advantageous to be white anymore
Because Sanskrit is Indo European as is Persian. These two languages influenced Europe more than people think.
While Dravidian languages like Tamil are more Aboriginal and African in origin.
first of all, it's Sanātana dharma (Devanagari: सनातन धर्म meaning "eternal dharma" or "eternal order") is the original name of Hinduism.
and a follower is simply called Dharma Yogi
t. Dharmacharya
All dravidian languages today have some amount of Sanskrit influence. Old versions might be 100% dravidian in both vocabulary and pronunciation but we talking about now. Like Hindi spoken on the streets in every day conversation is absolutely loaded with Arabic, English and Persian loanwords. Media and state run institutions might use purer Hindi that's like 90% Sanskrit derived but it doesn't remove fact ordinary citizens use very butchered version of Hindi. But that is universal for most countries.
umm..BASED??!!

I live in area that was under Italians for few centuries and 1/4 of vocabulary when we have normal conversation is made of Italian loanwords. But our TV stations in area speak Croatian that uses Slavic words as much as possible.
And it’s a good thing I don’t speak or know Hindi. I can read and write Sanskrit. My mother tongue is Tamil so I can know when people are using native words and loan words.
Pic related is called a catamaran in English. The word is derived from the Tamil word “Kattumaram” which people use still. I know you are talking about now, people still speak non-Sanskritised Tamil.
I’ll even oblige and give you words for phrases and words in Sanskrit including “Hindu” deities.

my daily routine if anyone is interested
I wake up before sunrise and immediately offer prayers to Krishna, then I do pranam to the deity of the sun, Surya, as the sun slowly rises from the horizon, next proceed to a shower, clean my teeth using a Neem twig.
I then face either north or east on a pure sheet positioned on pure grounds, that remains undisturbed by any other object or article. I take 3 sippings of holy water and proceed to put on my forehead, bosom and tow arms a round mark of red powder (tilak). I then meditate on brahman itself for several minutes, before bowing and chanting mantras to the murtis of 5 deities (namely Vishnu, Shiva, Ganesh, Devi and Surya, also known as Panchayatana puja) as a means to raise to higher planes of the swinging pendulum of birth to death to rebirth (in order to the avoid duldrums of lower planes of existence which ulitmately distract the finite brain from contemplation of atman and brahman).
I've read the Vedas and Upanishads 108 times already and can recite Puranas off by heart, all in their original sanskrit. I've also studied the systems of logic from Nyaya, veered off into the Nastika metaphysics of Nagarjuna's Mulamadhyamakakarika, Advaita and Dvaita systems of ontology, the mathematics of Aryabhatta and countless Sutras on all topics and fields.
I avoid all tamasic foods and activities and try to avoid maya (worldly pleasures and attachments) as much as possible, as such all I own is an saffron shawl and i spoil all morsels of food with drops of water, to dull the taste (attachment to sensory pleasures only leads to misery and suffering). I do this because the entire material universe is a merely a distraction from reuniting the soul with the unknowable, infinite and immutable mind that underlies everything one materially senses. I haven't deliberately looked at a woman in 3 years (let alone touched or spoken to one) and I subsist solely off of begging for alms.
Let me also prove this point wrong.
Old versions might be 100% dravidian in both vocabulary and pronunciation but we talking about now
Sanskrit lacks the letter ழ which is how Tamizh pronounced. We write Tamil because it is the anglicised form that does not confuse anybody. As long as words with the letter ழ exist, tamil will still be alive.
Some Sanskritised Tamil letters are
ஸ ஷ ஶ்ரீ(shree)
How do you know all this about my country, fren?
learning language here is a meme. Sanskrit is one of most difficult Indo European languages and just because Slavic languages and Sanskrit share many words derived from proto Indo European wouldn't help me, cause I need to learn grammar rules and they are very complex in Sanskrit.
I read many books on history of Asia. I got 3 books about China, one about Siberia and one about Thailand at home right now.
