Yugadharma (Sanskrit: युगधर्म, romanized: Yugadharma) is the dharma of an epoch or age in Hindu philosophy.[1][2] The concept of yugadharma is prescribed to be a reflection of Sanatana Dharma, the eternal dharma that transcends the passage of time.[3]
Hindu texts are categorised into Shruti (such as the Vedas) regarded as timeless in character, and Smriti (such as the Manusmriti), secondary texts that are less authoritative and applicable only for a given period.[4] Sanatana Dharma is based on the Shruti texts, while yugadharma is based on the Smriti texts.[5]
