Happy and Harmonious Family English 2009

At the heart of peaceful coexistence in today's fissured world lies the family. It is here that the individual first learns to interact with people, and develops the traits and values that will determine the kind of person that he or she will become. It is here too that he or she learns to interact with others. In the process, people learn that, as in the family, so too in the world outside, no two people are the same. Differences are inevitable, and to surmount them tolerance is a must. Not only does this attribute help maintain balance and peace within the family, it makes for a healthier society as well. In THE HAPPY AND HARMONIOUS FAMILY, Acharya Mahapragya discusses these and other aspects of living happily and harmoniously in a family and how these attitudes can be replicated in society.
