Product Description
Product Description
The Jewels of Happiness is a treasure-chest of wisdom and joyousness - a compilation of succinct and insightful pieces of prose, practical exercises and uplifting aphorisms and verse. Addressing themes such as joy, peace, enthusiasm and love, the self-contained chapters combine to create a wonderful tapestry of inspiration. Sri Chinmoy writes with beautiful simplicity and concentrated wisdom that immediately soothes the aching heart and inspires the spirit. His easy-to-follow exercises, based on perennial ancient wisdom, are truly pertinent for the modern era and perfectly suited to our fast-paced lifestyles. Readers need only to turn to a chapter that seems to address them at that moment, and they will find themselves richly rewarded. Sri Chinmoy has an amazing ability to speak to each reader as if the words were written just for them and to offer positive help and insight. His writings transcend differences of religion, ethnicity and economic status, and convey a refreshing and reassuring sense of the essential oneness that unites us all. The Jewels of Happiness really work-they work to uplift and encourage people from all walks of life to find their own inner untapped resources.

I like this book! It is so easy to read and yet you feel it contains so many truths and insights into human life. It speaks directly to the heart. You feel a real depth and naturalness to Sri Chinmoy's writings that are so often missing from other books in the inspirational/spiritual category. This is definitely a special book and one that you can read again and again. Highly recommended.

I found this really useful as a companion to my meditation practice. I have read many of Sri Chinmoy's writings before, and I find that the way they have been collated in this compilation is beautiful. Sri Chinmoy has an incredible sense of what it is to experience spirituality in modern life - a very simple, practical and joyful approach to existence. I recommend for anyone who is a seeker of ultimate Truth!
