How to lead a tranquil life: discover the secrets to serenity

Have you ever felt that there’s more to life than meets the eye? In spite of material comforts, do you feel uneasy and wonder what is missing? Amidst the daily hustle and bustle, do you truly feel aligned with your deepest aspirations or are you full of fears and worries? Do you know who you are? Do you sense a need for transformation, a yearning to navigate life’s complexities with greater ease and fulfilment?
In How to Lead a Tranquil Life, Swami Shekaranand shows you how to deal with these questions to make your life fuller, richer, and calmer. Basing his guidance on some of Hinduism’s key scriptures, the Swami’s book offers pathways to transform your relationship with yourself and others, fostering harmony, resilience, and a deeper sense of connection in your daily life.
Organized into eleven sections, the book explores various aspects of the spiritual journey—intention, meditation, compassion, karma, acceptance, devotion, equanimity—while also delving into the relationship between karma and free will, spirituality and science. It also talks about the three foundational Vedic gunas: sattva, rajas, and tamas, describing how they shape an individual’s thoughts, actions, behaviour, habits, and character. Through the teachings of Advaita Vedanta and the timeless wisdom of the Bhagavad Gita, Swami Shekaranand invites you to explore the depths of consciousness, unravel the mysteries of existence, and embark on a transformative journey towards a life of clarity, purpose, and spiritual abundance.
