In an age where progress is measured almost exclusively by GDP, infrastructure, and competition, Sthitpragya – The Foundation of a Developed India poses a vital question: can India truly be “developed” without inner maturity? This book argues that real progress is not only external but also internal—cultivating a mind that is steady, aware, compassionate, and ethical.
Author Anupam Srivastava draws upon the timeless wisdom of the Vedas, the Sthitpragya Purusha of the Gita, and the symbolic teachings of the Puranas to reframe these ancient insights in a contemporary context. He shows that Hindu traditions are not mere rituals but living practices that focus the mind, teach self-discipline, and refine one’s vision of life.
This book speaks to every individual who seeks to participate in nation-building—parents, teachers, entrepreneurs, and spiritual aspirants alike. Sthitpragya – The Foundation of a Developed India invites us to look within and recognise that the true bedrock of a developed nation is not smart cities or digital platforms but awakened, conscientious, and ethical citizens.
