Love in Sanātana Dharma — The Divine Pulse of Existence


Conclusion

Love, in Sanātana Dharma, is the movement of the One toward Itself through the many.
It begins as affection (Sneha), grows as devotion (Bhakti), and culminates as realization (Ānanda).
In the end, there is no lover and no beloved — only the shining truth that Love itself is God.

“Yatra prema, tatra īśvaraḥ.”
Where there is love, there is God.

Venkatesham

“When you are born with a question in your soul, the answer becomes your life’s work.” Venkatesham is the founder and guiding spirit behind Bharathiyam — a digital dharmic initiative dedicated to reviving, preserving, and sharing the timeless soul-wisdom of Bharat. Born into a traditional family rooted in simplicity, reverence, and moral strength, his life bridges two worlds — the outer world of technology and digital communication, and the inner world of silence, reflection, and spiritual seeking. The articles and essays featured on Bharathiyam are not recent creations, but part of a lifelong body of work that began more than two decades ago. Many of them were originally written between 2000 and 2020, stored quietly as Word documents — reflections, insights, and learnings collected through years of sādhanā, study, and service. These writings are now being published in their original spirit, dated according to when they were first composed. Alongside Bharathiyam, he continues to nurture two interconnected literary trilogies exploring dharma, family, and the soul’s journey — expressions of the same inner quest that began long ago and continues to unfold through his work and life.
