Validity of Manu Smruti in this Kaliyuga

Validity of Manu Smruti in this Kaliyuga

        Shri Surya asked that a devotee raised the question about the validity of Manu Smruti in this age of Kali, which is quoted by Swami in His divine knowledge.

Swami replied:  Manu has brought out the original constitution from God in the field of Pravrutti (Manvadin Prajapatin Srushtva…. Shankara).  Only Parashara etc. modified this constitution here and there through certain amendements in certain sections and such sections are only valid in Kali age (Kalau Parashari Smrutih).  Those sections are few only like Sanyasa based on false reasons, killing the animal when the guest comes, getting children through the brother of husband etc.  Except these few sections, which cannot be adopted with genuine view of purity in this Kali age, in general Manu Smruti is valid for any age constantly.  If the parliament makes certain amendments in the constitution, it does not mean that you should burn the original constitution and print the amendments only as the new constitution!
