LEARN MOREModern day work culture places high demands on an individual and the amount stress generated has only increased with the passage of time. Although many of us realize that work consumes much of our time and lives, few are able to get past its strigent needs and dedicate time elsewhere on a routine basis.
The fundamental aspect of managing your mind is to realize that one has to dedicate time for work as well as life beyond work. In the time that a person has for his/her private life, the best part of it can be dedicate to activities that can guarantee relaxation, reinforcement and rejuvenation of the mind.
It is critical to leave work behind at the office and not bring it home. Many of us are guilty of addiction to work even after reaching home, and carry it late into the night. If this is a routine, it can be detrimental to physical and mental health of the person, not to mention the “workaholic” tag that the person receives at home.
Utilization of time outside work for causes and actions purely related to mental (and spiritual) health will bring long term benefits. If the person resorts to relaxation techniques like meditation and pranayam, it is only natural that peace of mind and good health ensues.Taking it further, if the person realizes that true happiness that we all seek likes at the feet of God, he will automaticall begin practice of devotion to God. This is the ultimate search for true happiness where the person realizes that search for bliss in the material world is futile, and the absolute truth lies in a higher plane of joy, in the spiritual realm.
Contentment and peace of mind can only be achieved when the mind is free of stress, strife and negatively charged thinking. It is obvious that eliminating the fundamental cause of stress is the key to achieving this goal.
The causes of stress are many, especially considering the complicated lifestyles that humans have adopted in the last two centuries. The best method of overcoming stress is to concentrate our thinking on objects that can provide eternal peace and happiness. It is up to the individual person to contemplate and realize the facts about the real source of happiness in life. If the person decides that material happiness is the ultimate truth, then he will leave on stone unturned to seek happiness in that direction.
Since eternity, divine personalities have descended on earth for the welfare of humans. Jagadguru Shree Kripalu ji Maharaj is one such divine personality, who is amongst the most unique and highly revered spiritual master. “Shree Maharajji”, as he is lovingly called by his devotees, was born on the auspicious night of Sharad Poornima in 1922, in the village Mangarh, near Allahabad in the eastern state of Uttar Pradesh, India. After accepting the title of Jagadguru, Kripalu ji Maharaj traveled throughout the country for fourteen years. He would deliver month-long discourses in each city, in which he would unravel the mysteries of the scriptures before tens of thousands of people, who would throng the venue for a glimpse of this extraordinary scholar and Saint whose words left them spellbound.
Swami Mukundananda is a renowned bhakti yog saint, yoga teacher, and a senior disciple of Jagadguru Shree Kripaluji Maharaj.He is the pioneer of the ground breaking Yogic system, “Jagadguru Kripaluji Yog”. Swamiji’s training as an engineer and management graduate appeals very highly to the intelligentsia who like to learn spirituality with as scientific approach. His unique and highly methodical system of presenting the true philosophy about God is extremely rare to find in today’s world. Even the most erudite find answers to the toughest questions when explained with remarkable clarity of thought by Swamiji. His presence radiates love for the Divine and for all the souls who approach him for guidance. His ability to find time for almost every person who seeks his help is astonishing.
Don’t fight with your circumstances, fight with your mind. When you will improve your mind, your external circumstances will automatically change.
SWAMI MUKUNDANANDA
When the mind suggests negative thoughts you do not have to accept them, simply distance yourself from them realizing the mind is not you.
SWAMI MUKUNDANANDA
Peace is not dependent upon the external situation. It is a product of purified mind, senses and intellect.

Our mind is the singular most important factor determining the quality of our life. It has the potential of being our greatest comrade or worst adversary. If the mind is successfully controlled, it becomes our best ally. But if we permit it to run amuck, it steals our inner peace and undermines all our productive endeavours.
In this book, Swami Mukundananda guides us through the importance of the mind, the four different aspects of it, and how to control it. He uses witty anecdotes, real-life accounts, and stories from the Vedic scriptures to gently guide us to leverage the immense power of the mind, and as a result, transform our life
Mind management allows us to reach our full potential by training the mind and cultivating positive thoughts in the right direction. Swamiji has explained beautifully how to manage stress more effectively and how to produce creative potential by managing our thoughts to succeed in our lives. If you are interested in harnessing the power of the mind, then this book is perfect for you.
