Westland The Science of Mind Management

A wonderful book by an amazing Guru, perfect for occidental minds. The shippment was fine too.

This book is a complete package to revive the mind and soul. Extremely inspirational. The book is very systematic and contains a rare and logical explanation to Vedic Wisdom.The book emphasizes on training the mind to make sure it leads our lives to contentment and joy. It was a revelation to know about the inner world that exists within us. It highlights the various ailments of the mind and provides practical methods to get rid of them. The power of repetition and contemplation are the two essential things that we often ignore. These are explained very effectively in the book.The importance of Roopdhyan meditation and sadhana is very well justified.I found the systematic approach to inculcate the habit of daily sadhana very helpful.It provides useful pointers on the cause of stress and how to eliminate it.I feel this book is one of the best self-help books I have ever read. It has all the answers to our daily life problems. I would read it again and again and try to ponder every topic in the book.

I got to know about this book from social media and I thought this must be a really powerful read, as we all could get some help in this regard, to manage our minds. Especially, I was thinking about the Youths and Children since we see so much struggle in the schools and society among the youngsters as they have complicated things for themselves. And Wow, what a tremendous power-packed book it is! My copy arrived just the next day it got released as I was happy to place my order during the preorder phase. Thanks for the discount and also the beautiful digitally signed blessings by the Elevated Author of the Book.The Table of Contents itself is so profound and gives a vivid idea of the contents of the book! At the same time, every chapter has highlighted key points and a highlighted summary at the end of the chapter as a takeaway and for easy remembrance of the knowledge for the application in life. The first chapter sets the stage with "The Need for Mind Management" and I could not put this book down and wanted to go on. The concept of "Inner and the Outer World" was so fascinating and one highlighted excerpt from this section is: “Since the creator is perfect and complete, the world is also perfect and complete. This external world was created to sustain the physical body. Apart from the gross external world, there is also a subtle inner world that each of us creates in our own mind. This is the realm of our desires, attachments, and aversions.." In the opening paragraph, I loved this statement: “An auto-script embedded within our soul inspires us to be more perfect, more godlike.”Each chapter is very systematically organized with a logical flow of concepts and seems to be written with a huge emphasis and possibly a powerful prayer to practically help all the readers, each one of the readers, to truly transform their lives by learning this amazing Science of their own Mind's Management and by applying the tools & techniques laid out in the book!I feel compelled to read again and again as every page is filled with profound wisdom and gives a powerful nudge to our Mind. This book has completely clasped my mind and I am very much looking forward to applying the techniques described, to help myself in managing my own mind better. The author is so very encouraging that he calls it a "Science" and that it can be learned, so we have hope :)! Just reading the posts on the Social media about this book and the author himself, and thinking about all this, I ordered multiple copies so that we can gift it to the library and my teenage kids' friends and schools, etc. I am also thinking of forming a book club, so if anyone is interested, let's get going. Thanks to the Author for this mind-blowing read and Congratulations! Looking forward to seeing many readers applying & transforming their lives!

I had many question about Mind Management, Human life and Spirituality. After reading these book and also watching his videos on youtube I am feeling sorted. Life seems to be so easy. I was in extreme pain and no clear way to come out. The books and videos from Swami Mukundananda came to my life as so many blessings. Thank you. Thank you so much!

I have recently been diagnosed with GAD, and have been feeling crestfallen since our university declared the exam result, ostensibly because my result wasn't I had been expecting.I have been listening to the kirtans of Radha Kunj on YouTube since, now, more than one and half years, and also got in touch with a few devotees of Radha Kunj on social media. The first time I saw ' The Science of Mind management' on Meenu Auntie of Radha Kunj and decided to give her a read right after my exams, but, unfortunately, I kept procrastinating and couldn't read. One day, Jess Neverette, a staunch devotee and also a member of kirtan ensemble called Nikunj Ras — and regularly attends the lectures of Swamiji whenever he comes to Radha Kunj — out of brotherly affection asked: "How have you been?" I complained of deservement, dejection, fear and anxiety. Then he, because he knew what could help me, recommended me and asked me to check Swamiji's latest book' The science of Mind Management.' This time i, finally, decided to read It. And to my surprise, it turned out to be a life-changing book.'The science of Mind Management' by Swami Mukundananda — a disciple of Kripalu Ji Maharaj, and studied Vedas under the tutelage of Maharaj Ji — is a beautiful amalgam of modern psychology, Vedic psychology, experiences of saints and sages, great personalities and personal experiences of Swamiji himself.It is replete with anecdotes, stories of saints and examples from everyday life, which make, otherwise intricate and subtle philosophy, easy to understand for the neophyte readers like myself.Summary of the crucial points at the end of each chapter makes it easier to memorize.If you, like me, are tired of verborrea, circumlocutory speeches of motivational speakers — who tell you, you all have the potential to do this and that and what might seem impossible, but not how to materialise that potential, then you, I firmly believe, will find out in this book.The book has been divided into ten parts and many subparts. For chapters/ parts 2, 5, 6, 7, 8, and 9 Swamiji brought heavily from Maharaji's Lectures — whoever has listened to those lecture can literally feel Maharaji Speaking through Swamiji's words.Desire, Swami Ji asserts so do all Scriptures, which is insatiable, stems from the attachment, is the biggest foe and impediment in spiritual growth. This is in stark contrast to the opinion of a controversial Guru, so-called self-proclaimed Godman and Charlatan Osho, who propounded — for his vantage — if we keep doing something incessantly, our desire for that thing will be forever suppressed. Sex, he says, if keep doing it perpetually our appetite for it eventually be obliterated, and the person will attain the state of 'Samadhi.' Preposterous! One might call it, so do every scripture and great saints. Desire is unappeasable, it can only, as Swamiji writes, be fulfilled for a moment, and the happiness and satisfaction one gets is ephemeral, not everlasting what soul intrinsically craves, it then comes back with greater intensity. Swamiji provides in his book an excellent example where Subhari laments and warns ' learn from my downfall and not be fooled into thinking you will ever fulfil desires.'It would be interesting to ask Swamiji, what if the reader is not a believer, but a secular, how, then, he can always be happy in this life, since he not interested and looking for the infinite bless/happiness for forever, but only in this life, because he is a humanist, doesn't believe in soul? Suppose he believes the happiness is in the knowledge - which is considered a good habit, but not the higher attachment - knowledge brings power, more power more knowledge and power corrupts since he has no higher purpose. How then desire for good things - knowledge to say, is regarded as good - will uplift if he doesn't have a higher purpose? Or the result will be the same as 'Faustus?'One thing that makes me uneasy is why would Swamiji enumerate the comments Of western Scholars, philosophers and orientalists, that too before writing about Vedic psychology, about Vedas? Perhaps because of us Indians inferiority complex and self-doubting attitude — which requires validation even from a mediocre white scholar who has meagre knowledge of Vedas and Sanskrit. Would have been better if he had referred to comments of Adi Sankrachara and Kripaluji Maharaj himself. Max Muller, of course, did not give his life long study of Vedic Scriptures to ascertain the views of Schopenhauer, but because for 18th and 19th-century Western scholars, like Max Muller, 'East was a career.' Even now we have successors - who wish to play the same game of distortion - ilk of Sheldon Pollack and Wendy Donegar again thanks to Indians who provide them oxygen to carry out their nefarious agendas.The most exhilarating thing for me in 'The Science of Mind Management' is Vedic psychology of which I have been, unfortunately, hitherto unaware. I have a few texts — which I shall not disclose here — in my mind to which I can apply it, the mere thought of its outcome excites me. Now, I have a new tool to analyse the texts I read for my literature class. This is not they teach and will never teach us, our education system is still in a colonial stupor.'The science of mind management' is a remarkable feat of condensation, explication and synthesis of the unfathomable wisdom of Vedic Scriptures by Swamiji for which every reader of this book should be grateful.Indeed! 'The mind alone is the cause of bondage and liberation.'This book definitely will help in 'mind management ' and transform you into a better person, if, of course, you practice its teachings.Truly a life-changing book!A Must Read!
