Since ancient times, animals and birds have lived fearlessly in the Ashrams of Rishis and Munis. The sattvikata (spiritual purity) acquired by Sages through penance radiates as Chaitanya (divine consciousness), which is experienced not only by humans but also by animals, birds, and even nature itself. This harmony between creation and the divine continues to be seen in the Ashrams of seekers dedicated to Sanatana Dharma even today.
Sanatana Dharma reveres Saints who dedicate their lives to the service of society, Dharma, and spiritual upliftment. Their humility, devotion, and steadfast faith guide countless seekers on the path of truth. The recognition of such realized souls reminds us of the eternal principle that inner transformation and surrender to Dharma leads one towards divine realization.
Across Bharat, devout Hindus who live a life of simplicity, devotion, and discipline are blessed with divine experiences. Their unwavering bhakti towards Deities, such as Lord Shiva, and their selfless service towards Dharma enable them to progress towards Sainthood. Sanatana Dharma emphasizes that such attainments are not through miracles but through dedicated spiritual practice (sadhana) and surrender.
Sanatana Dharma teaches that qualities like humility, low ego, compassion, and selfless service are the foundations of spiritual growth. Seekers who cultivate these virtues, even in the later stages of life, attain the grace of the Divine and are revered as Saints. Their journey inspires society to remain rooted in Dharma, even in times of challenges, and to move steadily towards self-realization and universal well-being.
