Chatuh Shloki Manusmriti: Shastra for Spiritual, Material Well-Being| Nithin Sridhar | Halley Kalyan

Описание: Nithin Sridhar reveals how widespread misconceptions about Manusmriti stem from applying globalisation-era frameworks to ancient Indic texts. Discover the crucial distinction between Shastriya Adhyayana (ritualistic study) and general reading, and learn why the concept of Adhikara is fundamentally about spiritual suitability rather than discrimination. He demonstrates through Vedic and Upanishadic references how the Dharmashastra provides multiple paths for everyone to attain Abbhyudaya Nischayasa (material and spiritual well-being). Essential viewing for students of Hindu philosophy seeking an authentic understanding of Smriti literature, Varna as a ritualistic concept, and the pragmatic worldview of our Rishis.
