Ananda- Every Moment We Want Just One Thing

Happiness, the central theme for almost every new age workshop, almost every self-help seminar, the essence of all the scriptures, the presence of which cheers someone up and makes one feel lively. The taste of which everyone is hankering day and night, every hour, every second. But what happiness is- a very simple understanding has become so very complex for almost every living being.

In reality, Happiness is not a matter of philosophy or a conception or a matter of debate, study of anyone's notions, beliefs or even disbeliefs. It is certainly not an imagination, rather Happiness is beyond all these, beyond human intelligence, human conceptions, their imaginations…!!

As Maharaja Ji Says- "Puzzle to solve for all the entities 24*7 is 'one i.e. how to achieve Happiness?"... irrespective of caste, colour, nationality, age, gender, social group one is belonging to, whether theist or atheist, in fact all the living entities... From the tiniest amoeba to the highest Brahma... Everyone!!

In spite of everyone searching for it every day, every moment, every second... 24*7... since births... still everyone holds the common degree M.F - Masters of Failure ! i.e. failing again and again.

Happiness is the deep-down desire of every living being in all their pursuits. To put an end to our search and finally reach the endearing goal, our destination, we need to know what actually happiness is. As Maharaja Ji Says- "While running and running in our lives, we have forgotten to live... similarly, chasing and chasing after Happiness, we have just misunderstood what Happiness is...! !"

We are continuously trying to find Happiness either in some people, things or circumstances or any combination of these. Had they been a source of our Happiness, we would have surely and confidently said to ourselves, to everyone, "Yes, I am happy... Really happy. But am I happy? Really Happy...?" Pause and think... deeply.

When something, which is the basis of the living, is hidden, and does not reveal on its own, and which is beyond our reach as well, then the life solution lies with the `GRANTHA'- that which unties the ‘granthis'- the complexities of mind of the living beings. What is the solution? How we ordinary beings can get solution?

Scriptures proclaim, the highest blessing for a conditioned soul is to be bestowed with the Wisdom of an Experienced, Blessed, Compassionate ACARYA. So is this GRANTHA. This Ananda GRANTHA is the Blessing of SHRI SHRI SHACHINANDAN JI MAHARAJA, Whose wisdom and compassion can claim the conditioned soul from various bondages and complexities, turning life into a blissful voyage.

It is rather not a book, but an Ultimate Blessing in the form of book, which a conditioned soul can ever be gifted with...!

The purpose of this book is to finally stop once & for all, our immemorial struggle for happiness so that only bliss remains & all stress goes away, making our lives truly auspicious! ! Knitted in the thread of enlightenment & compassion, the GRANTHA has 24 pearls cum chapters which will answer all our asked and even unasked questions.

‘Search for Happiness', helps us understand the foremost, what is actually my ONLY need, my ONLY want, whether one is with family or without family, with society or without society, within favourable circumstances or without favourable circumstances etc. The subsequent chapters teach us where is Happiness, leaving us wonder struck & surprised. With the Understanding of the next chapters, our ever-nurtured, unflinching beliefs, which are actually 'myths, illusions' will be destroyed and hence clarified once & for all, making us, the ‘conditioned souls', get rid of all the self-imposed conditions.

One will feel oneself supremely blessed as one gets a deep and scientific understanding of the chapter on 'Touch Sensation', which is considered to be the highest happiness. Giving all the more, deeper understanding of what all happiness is not about, simplified in the form of a conversation, will unfold the deep reality with which everyone can immediately relate to. Building on the earlier chapters, the next chapter systematically explains us the way to achieve Happiness on the basis of various scriptural injunctions & all this will make us relish the real beauty of life (for which we are actually meant for). The chapter on 'Disease' will help us understand the difference between being healthy and diseased. 'Inner Google- It's the real me' is the culmination, infusing enthusiasm & determination, to finally stop our starvation for happiness & move forward irrevocably on the right, real path…!!

A meditative guide for the readers, 'Ask Yourself & The quotes' before every chapter, is a must read for all of us. They hold the essence of the respective chapters. The readers shall begin by asking themselves these questions, the answers to which will be revealed, as Maharaja Ji will be explaining them in this GRANTHA, making the granthiyan (self-imposed conditioning/knots) the complexities, false notions get dispelled on their own in the most beautiful & surprising way... !

As one progresses in this beautiful journey of ANANDA, one will come across various treasures which are nothing other than the Reality of life, explained in the most beautiful, simplest, uncomplicated & the most logical way, making the experience of the GRANTHA enlivening, enlightening & empowering.
