Speaker

Our speaker was Dr Ramasamy Sharma, a scholar of Sanatana Dharma, which is the real name of Hinduism.  The name Hindustan was given to the area by outsiders based on the Indus river.
 
The traditions date back to around 3000 BC and are based on the different paths people can take, and on the natural cycles and divisions of society, taking into account the general human goals, as well as the individual personality of each person.
