Letters-30: "Living Well"

1. The article, “The Way to Wellness” (July 13, 2008) came like a fresh breeze on a lazy Sunday morning. It reminds us that there is much more to life than just making money. Everyone likes earning more, but are not able to accept the “free gift” that comes along with it – stress!

When life hits hard, we blame our destiny, often forgetting that we ourselves are the ones who create it. This article teaches us to take charge of our lives, to stay calm and optimistic through all the whirlwinds that life brings with it and most importantly, it reminds us that life is to live! – Aparna Pal, Email.

2. The article is an excellent piece, to be read by all. It is written in a simple language with readymade prescriptions to suit the moderns and the traditionals alike. We have forgotten simplicity and acquired the habit of making things complicated. The article gives out the essence of Vedic knowledge with excellent narratives. Lifestyles incorporating the steps to wellness can transform people’s physical and mental health. – Dr.A.R.K.Pillai, Mumbai.
