FOR KALIYUGA, WHICH SMIRITI IS TO BE FOLLOWED?
Laws undergo change with changing Times.
Our present Laws get changed, including The Constitution quite frequently in a short span of Time.
Hinduism takes Time Span on a larger scale,the present Aeon ,Kali Yuga lasting for a period of 4,32,000 years and the earlier one Dwapara Yuga 8,64,000 years!
And we have two more earlier Yugas,Treta and Krutha Yugas.
Yugas
The religious texts of Hindus are classified into two types.
Sruthi,that which is ‘Heard, and ‘Smriti’,that which is remembered.
Vedas are called Sruthi and their authority is final in case of a conflict between Sruthi and Smriti.
Since Hindu texts are transmitted orally and never by written words,there are,at times differences in the number of texts available .
So,there are two versions regarding Smritis.
One lists Eleven Smritis and some Eighteen.
Though it is said that Many Smriti is the first one,being compiled by the first Human,Manu,all Smritis disappear with the dissolution of the world.
They come into being when new Time scale or creation manifests.
Vyasa,the great Complier,the name Vyasa means ‘Compiler’.
He declares that Manu Smriti is not meant for the present Time scale, Kaliyuga.
The Smriti to be followed for the present Yuga,Kali, is Parasara Smriti.
(set of rules which sage Parashar muni think should be different for kali yuga. It contains 12 chaptersdealing with diff aspects of life, explaining the social order brahmins wantedto esteblished and means they used to do so, it states relation between men andwomen , human and amnimal, diff caste and different sins commited intentionallyor un ingtentionally and remedies to those sins.)
WILL POST about PARASARASMIRITHI LATER ON
There are variations between Manu and Parasara Smriti.
'The author of the Veda there is none ; (he) the four- faced (God) , at each succeeding revolution of a Kalpa, re- calls to mind the Veda ; and so does Manu remember thelaw (at each succeeding revolution of a Kalpa) .
22. ” In conformity to the character of the age, the rules
of law (suitable) for men differ from age to age. The rules
for the Krita differ from the Treta rules ; the Dvapara laws
are not identical with the Kali rules.
23. ” Self-mortification is the rule in the Krita age ;
knowledge is said (to be the same) in the Treta ; in the
Dvapara, (they) say sacrifice (to the gods to be) the sole
(rule) ; and charity alone in the Kali age.
24. ” For the Krita are suited the laws of Manu ; for the Treta, those
by Gautama (are) prescribed ; for the Dvapara those by Shank and
Likhita ; for the Kali, those by Parasara are prescribed. ‘
