Vedanta is a science of life. It enunciates the eternal principles of life and living. Living is an art, a skill, a technique. Few have understood it to be so in the span of human history. Nevertheless, you need to learn and practise the technique of living. As you would for playing a musical instrument or flying an aircraft.The world today is unaware of this process of learning. People go through a mechanical way of living merely following a routine of their predecessors. They lack this fundamental knowledge of living. And become victims of stress and strain. The fundamental requirement is self-study of this course material in the early hours of the morning.Swamiji has authored 12 books bringing out the ancient philosophy of Vedanta in modern life for productive, peaceful and perfect living. The books have to be studied systematically and methodically like any other science.
