:''An (otherwise unknown) author with the name ''Sānātanī'' is mentioned by Udayana (10th century).'' Sanātanī is a term often used by Indians to either describe denominations that adhere to Sanatana Dharma (Hinduism), or what is sometimes misunderstood to be Orthodox Hinduism. The term was popularized by Mahatma Gandhi in 1921.〔 "I call myself a Sanatani Hindu, because I believe in the Vedas, the Upanishads, the Puranas, and all that goes by the name of Hindu scripture, and therefore in avataras and rebirth; I believe in the varnashrama dharma in a sense, in my opinion strictly Vedic but not in its presently popular and distorted crude sense; I believe in the protection of cow. I do not disbelieve in murti puja." (Murti Puja means Idol Worship) (''Young India'': June 10, 1921)〕 The term ''Sanatani'' is used in contrast to Hindu reform movements, which often reject previously long-established socioreligious systems based on fundamentalist interpretations of specific scriptures or were led by reformist ''sants'' (saints). ==''Sanātana Dharma''== ''Sanātana Dharma'' (Devanagari: meaning "eternal ''dharma''" or "eternal order") has been proposed as an alternative, "native" name for Hinduism (Hindi ''Hindu Dharm'' हिन्दू धर्म) "Hindu religion". The term was mentioned and explained in depth in Vedic literature (Rig Veda) (4-138) and was used during the Hindu revivalism movement in order to avoid having to use the term "Hindu" which is of non-native (Persian) origin.〔The Concise Oxford Dictionary of World Religions. Ed. John Bowker. Oxford University Press, 2000〕〔J. Zavos, ''Defending Hindu Tradition: Sanatana Dharma as a Symbol of Orthodoxy in Colonial India'', Religion (Academic Press), Volume 31, Number 2, April 2001, pp. 109-123; see also R. D. Baird, "Swami Bhaktivedanta and the Encounter with Religions", ''Modern Indian Responses to Religious Pluralism'', edited by Harold Coward, State University of New York Press, 1987)〕 In current-day usage, the term ''Sanatana Dharma'' is used to emphasize an "orthodox" or ''sanatani'' ("eternalist") outlook in contrast to the socio-political Hinduism embraced by movements such as the Arya Samaj. The phrase ''dharma sanātana'' does occur in classical Sanskrit literature, e.g. in the ''Manusmrti'' (4-138) and in the ''Bhagavata Purana'',〔''Authority, Anxiety, and Canon'' By Laurie L. Patton, P. 103.〕 in a sense akin to "cosmic order". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sanātanī」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
