The Manusmṛti, Vol. 1 (Chapters-1-6): The First Constitution of Humanity on the Earth

By Prof Ravi Prakash Arya

The Manusmṛti stands as the first constitution of humanity, wielding an influence that surpasses even that of the Bhagavad Gītā and the Bible. Friedrich Nietzsche famously declared, "Close the Bible and open the Manusmṛti," emphasizing its profound significance. He further asserted, "To prepare a book of law in the style of Manu means to empower a people to become masters one day, to achieve perfection, and to aspire to the highest art of life." This statement challenges us to prioritize the Manusmṛti above all other texts.
This edition has been meticulously revised and updated to provide contemporary interpretations of ancient terms in English, ensuring its relevance to today's social, economic, and political contexts. I wholeheartedly believe that both readers and researchers will find this work an indispensable resource for understanding the timeless wisdom and foundational principles it offers.
