Chapter - 1

In this Universe, all living things including man wants to live happily. Everyone is running only behind happiness. Should we try to live happily or blissfully? If you want the answer for this question, then one should first know what is 'happiness' and what is 'blissfulness'. Happiness is that which is felt by all the physical senses, eyes, ears, nose, tongue and touch. Whereas bliss, is of the highest state of total elevation of Mind and soul. According to the Oxford Dictionary the meaning for the word Bliss = Extreme happiness - a state of spiritual blessedness. (And in Sanskrit it is known as 'Aanandha' and there is no exact equivalent word in English for this.)

Happiness has an opposite and that is sorrow. For all that is enjoyed by the physical senses, there is an end. But 'Bliss' or 'Aanandha' has no boundaries. We have misunderstood that the term 'happiness' and 'bliss' or 'Aanandha' is the same. That is why all people are running after happiness and also experiencing sorrow finally.

The moment we start walking in the path of 'Aanandha', all our sorrows and miseries will slowly start vanishing.
What is 'Aanandha' and how do we start marching towards it, is the aim of this article.

If we should understand what is 'Aanandha yoga', then first of all we should know what is 'Aanandha'. Either happiness or Aanandha, cannot be shown physically. It can only be experienced. So it is a state that can be perceived by the mind. Now if you want to know, what is the process of mind perception,
then one should know what is 'mind'. But understanding Mind is not an easy thing. Mind is the most complicated to understand. To understand the concept of 'Mind' there are two distinct paths. One is through 'Science' and the other is through 'Philosophy'.
