Sanatan Dharma is not about following traditions in the name of Dharma. It is about constantly moving towards that which will take you beyond your mind: the Sanatan. All our beliefs and rituals might be religious, but they are not Sanatan because they are just mind stuff. Since both Sanatan Dharma and Vedanta discard mind stuff as trivial, one cannot be a Sanatani if one is not a Vedanti.

Acharya Prashant: There couldn't have been a more important topic than the one we have at hand today: Sanatana Dharma and Vedanta.
So, there is Sanatana Dharma and Vedanta.
Sanatana first: All that is, can be very neatly and clearly classified into three: the Timeless (Nitya), the Eternal (Śaśvat), and the Time-bound; you could call that Vyavahārik, Pratibhāsik, Māyāvī, Kālabaddha … anything.
Purely, only the Truth is Sanatana. Sanatana refers to the timeless, that which is beyond time. Not even that which does not change in the course of time, but beyond time. Only the Truth really is Sanatana.
And what is the Truth? As we said, that is beyond time.
