________________ Chapter 8 - Some Eternal Values of Life- Vipashyana Jain Education International Some Eternal Values of Life Common sense must prevail over religious injunctions. We have two aspects of Dharma in our tradition: Sanatan Dharma or ever lasting religion and Yuga Dharma or man made religion as per social needs. Yuga connotes that Dharma is only periodical and hence it is transitory in nature and must change with the cahnges in time and place. However Sanatan Dharma that has eternal values never changes with the change in time and place. With new thoughts, circumstances, and socio-economic values Yuga Dharma must change but even in the midst of these changes eternal values remain unchanged These For Private & Personal Use Only www.jainelibrary.org
