Educational Q&A

Dharma is expressed differently in each yuga: the same ideal of righteousness is pursued through practices suited to the era’s moral strength and social conditions. Therefore, ethical application must consider context (yuga) rather than treating all external rules as timelessly identical.

In the Śānti Parva’s instruction on governance and righteousness, Vyāsa explains to the listener that human duties are not uniform across cosmic ages; they vary with the decline of virtue and capacity in each yuga, so guidance must be calibrated to the time.
