SarahK, I really appreciate your response to Dvaitin.
There are numerous belief patterns under the umbrella of Sanatana Dharma. However, that is the beauty of our faith - it offers something for everyone. One can choose a particular path that best suits them. This degree of flexibility is not found in any other spiritual tradition. Unfortunately, some like Dvaitin think that their chosen path is the only one. This is a great shame. That kind of 'Abrahamic' attitude has caused many to turn away from the Western religions.
