Hello! 

Does Sanatana Dharma differ from other Hindu schools about the nature of Brahman?

Thanks.

I dont think the Sanatana Dharma is a school, I think it's just a synonym for Hinduism.

So what is it that you want us to take away from your point?
If you're frightened of dying, and you're holding on, you'll see devils tearing your life away. But if you've made your peace, then the devils are really angels, freeing you from the Earth.

Did you know that atheism applies to ALL gods ?

Every god that was ever invented by the imagination of mankind. Atheism applies to all of them.
Any god you can possibly think of. Atheism applies to it.

I lack a belief in any and all gods that anyone has ever put forth as being real.

I thought we weren't allowed to talk about the Dharma initiative here.

Long before that, there was cavarka, and heterodox hinduism. It doesn't credit the tradition that they took active measure to stamp it out, but still.

So, yeah. What would you like to discuss, in that context? What insights do you think that hindu atheism and materialism can offer hindu theism and supernaturalism?

I do know that at no later than the final centuries BCE, there existed the Carvaka school within Hinduism, that was explicitly atheist and materialist.

But it seems like you are bragging how your religion, at least when it comes to atheism, has the most basic humn rights.

Well, congratulations for clearing the lowest hurdle of decency, not killing or beating someone up if they have different beliefs.

**Looks like The Grand Nudger beat me to it!**

You'd believe if you just opened your heart" is a terrible argument for religion. It's basically saying, "If you bias yourself enough, you can convince yourself that this is true." If religion were true, people wouldn't need faith to believe it -- it would be supported by good evidence.

I didn't even know there was a place called Sanatana Dharma, much less that there were atheists living there. Incidentally, my Primary Care Physician is a Hindu.
