Explanation

Hinduism is actually known as Sanatana Dharma, meaning "eternal duty" or "eternal law." The term "Hinduism" originated from Persian invaders who used "Hindu" to describe people living beyond the Indus River. Karma is a concept within the tradition, Smriti refers to remembered texts, and Advaita is a philosophical school - none are the religion's actual name.
