Unity of Mula Siddhantas of Sanatana Dharma (Samskrit : मूलसिद्धान्तसमैक्यता) stems only from Vedas and rests entirely on the Vedas.  Over thousands of years, over millennia, countless number or rshis have rested upon just this one point - Unity of Goal Amidst Diversity of Paths.

Rshis may be many, but their vision is just One. RigVeda (1.164.46) says

एकम् सत् विप्रह् बहुध वदन्ति || ekam sat viprah bahudha vadanti || (Rig. Veda. 1.164.46)[1]

Ekam sat, that which IS, that which Will Be, that which never gets corrupted that is One, but the rshis, speak of Him, the wise people speak of Him, in many ways.[2]

If this was not true, truths would have been varied from Rigveda to Yajurveda and from there to Samaveda and to Mahabharata to Puranas. It is this mula siddhanta which is the binding factor holding us (the followers of Sanatana Dharma) to this day with Aikyata (एैक्यता | Unity).

Unfortunately during the recent centuries, in the what western people call the medieval age, Vedanta came to be interpreted in diverse ways giving room for fictions, misunderstandings and some amount of negativism was introduced into that mula siddhanta, through non Vedic religions.[2]

Dharmawiki aims to revitalize the society bringing back these mula siddhantas into mainstream thought and action of every person, so that Shanti (Peace) is achieved not just in communities but within the innermost Self of every person. Articles are to presented highlighting the integrity of the vedic principles, the shastras and the concepts therein. The points of agreement is our mainstay and points of differences are only strengthened by the points of agreement.

Shanti Patha

All the shanti pathas of the four vedas summarize the concept of welfare of not just humanity but every element of this brahmanda.

"Let us have sound bodies, strong minds, let us pray for the welfare of the gods, let us hear good things, through our ears, let us share our knowledge, sharing our thoughts collectively,

Sanatana Dharma gives the single rootedness of Shareera (Body) Manas (Mind) and Atma (Soul). Everything is integral here, we without discrimination among people in terms of caste or community therefore this unity of vision stems and stands firmly on vedic vision.
