Dear Friends,



The basis of holistic health lies in one's understanding the

purpose of life.



There are many questions human beings want to answer. However, it is

only when they are sick or they don't have all the normal

amenities of life, or when they are befallen by a personal tragedy

that they begin asking, "Why am I here? What is the purpose of my

life? From where have I come? Where will I go?"



These are not cultural questions. They are not social or economic

questions either. These are inborn questions common to every human

being and they arise when one starts examining life. Everyone has to

face these questions sooner or later.



Without answers to these questions, mere physical health or mental

soundness will not fulfill the purpose of life.*





In loving service,



Swami J
