Health and Success! What more a person can ask in life? Brahmavidya Seems to be a formula for complete life!

Yes, that sounds fantastic; isn't it? Here I will briefly explain the principles of Brahmavidya. I do hope that it will inspire you to join the Brahmavidya class and verify the efficacy of these methods by your own personal experience.
But, Health and Success are so different from one another! Health is of the Body, whereas Success is related to so many different things. How can Brahmavidya help to achieve bother?

It is quite true that Health and Success appear to be very different from each other. Yet both these are dependent upon following the Order of Life.

All truth is hidden and if we limit our observation only to the appearance we can never comprehend the truth. One may say that every scientific discovery is a proof of this. 'Appearances are deceptive'. For example, the earth looks quite flat, but actually it is round; it appears that the sun rises every morning in the east, but actually there is no sunrise.

As the modern science tells us about the laws of the material universe, Brahmavidya tells us about deeper truths about your life, my life - human life! When we follow these laws in our life, it makes our life orderly. And what we call as Health or Success is nothing but ORDER.



How is it useful to a common man in his daily life?

Brahmavidya gives definite methods by which a person can overcome all of his physical and mental problems and lead a healthier, more successful and happier life.
