'''''Sarva Dharma Sama Bhava''''' is a concept embodying the equality of the destination of the paths followed by all religions (Although the paths themselves may be different).  The concept was embraced by [[Ramakrishna|Sri Rāmakrishṇa]] and [[Vivekenanda|Swāmi Vivekānanda]],<ref name=long2012/> as well as [[Mahatma Gandhi|Mahātmā Gāndhi]].<ref name=yashodharma/>  Although commonly thought to be among the ancient Hindu [[veda]]s, the phrase is actually attributed to Gandhi, having been used first in September 1930 in his communications to his followers to quell divisions that had begun to develop between Hindus and [[Islam|Muslims]] toward the end of the [[British Raj]].<ref name=yashodharma/>  The concept is one of the key tenets of [[secularism in India]], wherein there is not a separation of church and state, but an attempt by the state to embrace all religions.<ref name=desmith/><ref name=Larson/>

''Sarva dharma sama bhav'' has been rejected by a small portion of highly conservative Hindu's who claim that religious universalism has led to the loss of many of Hinduism's rich traditions.<ref name=long2007/>{{rp|60}}


''Sarva dharma sama bhav'' is often translated as "All religions are the same" or "All path's lead to the same destination [In a religious sense]", although its literal meaning is closer to "All [[dharma]]/faiths are possible".
