While several works are available on the application of Western techniques of Mental Health, this book is the first and the only work on Hindu Techniques of Mental Health. Starting with the definition of Mental Health in East and West the book deals with Hindu Beliefs, Varnashrama Dharma, Hindu Values, Purusharthas, Personality and Self, Yoga and Mental Control, Sanskaras and Hindu Techniques of Mental Health. It is the first work to empirically and scientifically study the effectiveness of Hindu Techniques in the attainment of Mental Health through a life style close ended questionnaire given in the appendix of the book. Thus the book caters to the interest of the layman and the specialist, the psychologist and the psychiatrist.
