A Time-Tested Guide for Happiness A Time-Tested Guide

Author Name: Lakshmanan K | Format: Hardcover | Genre : Philosophy | Other Details
Who does not want Happiness in this world? As the title of the books says, it gives a lot of time-tested Guidelines for Happiness to every one of us. For example, the sage Yajnavalkya had a conversation with his spouse, Sulabha Maitreyi at the time of his retirement (Vanaprastham) as follows: Maitreyi, an Advaita Philosopher (Monism) and a very popular female expounder of Vedas in her own capacity said: "If now, Sir, this whole earth filled with wealth were mine, would I be immortal thereby?" "No", said Yajnavalkya. "As the life of the rich, even so, would your life be. Of immortality, however, there is no hope through wealth." Then said Maitreyi: "What should I do with that through which I may not be immortal? What you know, Sir – that, indeed, tell me!" Yajnavalkya replied to Maitreyi: "Ah! Lo, dear as you are to us, dear is what you say! —?Brihadaranyaka Upanishad 2.4.2–4[16] It is the secret of Happiness. It is true not only for her but for every one, every situation, every time and for every cause. For this Book. Happiness is not dear for the Book or its Author, but dear for yourself the Reader. One will get benefited from the wisdom of Vedas, Upanishads and Classical Tamil Literature like Thirukkural, and the like. Vedas and Upanishads are generally believed to be tough to understand for laymen. But in this Book, they are explained with mundane examples like Train Journey, or the like in simple English.

Lakshmanan K

I am a retired Industrial Engineer since 2014. I belong to a very popular House, “Chathirathar House” (My forefathers constructed Choultries (Free Inn) from Varanasi to Rameswaram in British ruled days). My Native Place is a small Town, Devakottai in Tamilnadu. I am residing in Trichy. Both of these two places are more than 2000 years old and have seen different religions, communities, rules, histories etc. I studied Industrial Engineering at one of the prestigious institutes of India, Regional Engineering College, Trichy (Now known as NIT), India. On the need basis, I studied a certificate course on Homeopathy for family life. I took a Diploma in Advanced Management from (west) Germany for working life. I have attended a number of Seminars, workshops, Courses etc – I have also organized them. My experience is of two parts. First part is of 21 years in India and in Manufacturing Industries only- You name an industry of the period (1978 to 1999), most likely, I would have worked in that Industry either as an employee or a consultant. I was an expert faculty to Madras Productivity Council. I have been then an active Member professionally in Indian Institute of Engineers, Indian Institute of Industrial Engineers, Foundry Men and Computer Society of India. I have published many Technical and non-technical papers from my college days (IV year onwards) in the Professional Journals, Company in-house Magazines, Community Newsletters etc.. I have presented papers in seminars, workshops too. My second part of the Working Experience is for 15 years making the total 36 years. In the second Part, I worked in UAE and Saudi Arabia. The experience is mainly in Petrochemical Projects in the capacity of Costing, Planning, Project, and Operations Engineer or Manager. It was totally a different experience with the multi-ethnic group of people, multi-languages, multi-currency, multi-national companies, multi-national cuisines, and what not.. all are of multi-specialties. After retirement, I started writing books. I published my first book - a Tamil Poetry Book "????? ??? ?????????" meaning "why is the song for?". Then I translated an authentic Tamil Book on the Great Emperor Rajendra Sozhan into English by the title "Sozhapuram that won the Gangai". I have been writing in Blogs, and Web Sites. On the advice and encouragement given by the readers of the Blog, and friends, I wrote this Book, "A Time-Tested Guide for Happiness" that is now in your hands
