The Sanatan Sanstha is a Hindu organization seeking Hindu nationalism in India.[1][2][3][4] It is a non-government charitable trust founded in 1999 by hypnotherapist Dr Jayant Balaji Athavale.[5] It is headquartered in Ramathi, Goa.[6]

The Sanstha is engaged in a host of activities such as spreading spirituality by conducting various discourses for the spiritually curious,[7][8] publishing holy texts,[9] creating awareness on issues concerning Nation and Dharma,[10][11] activities related to relief and rehabilitation,[12][13] environment protection etc.[14][15]

Persons owing allegiance to Sanatan Sanstha have been arrested in four bombings in Vashi, Thane, Panvel (all in 2007) and Goa (in 2009) and in the murders of Narendra Dabholkar (in 2013), Govind Pansare and M. M. Kalburgi (both in 2015).[16][17][18] This has led to calls for Sanatan Sanstha to be banned.[19] However, such claims have been ruled out by Maharashtra state's Home Minister,[20] Karnataka CID,[21] Goa chief minister[22] and Central Home Ministry.[23] In 2015, Minister of state for home for Government of India informed in Rajya Sabha that, no links could be found among the murders of Narendra Dabholkar, Govind Pansare and M. M. Kalburgi and there was no proposal to ban Sanatan Sanstha.[24]

Dabholkar's family claims the link between the three murders and requesting court to club the cases.[25][26] However, Central Bureau of Investigation have informed the Bombay High Court that it is waiting for the ballistic report from Scotland Yard to link all three cases.[27]
