Book Description
How to organise one’s life in today’s world of industrialization, fast life and diminishing spiritual values? What Hinduism has to say? The Hindu scriptures are of two types: Shrutis and Smritis. Shrutis deal with Eternal Truths, and the Smritis, with the codes and conducts governing day-to-day life. While Shrutis never change, the Smritis undergo change keeping in view the changing circumstances.
This book discusses not only the role of earlier Smritis but also the need for a modern Smriti, along with a new meaning of Ashramadharma.
