Basic Human AspirationsWe desire for many things in this world, say
materialistic needs, respect, recognition, love, trust etc, but in the form of all these we aspire for true and continuous happiness and prosperity.
Happiness: “ To be in a state of liking is happiness.” “ To be in a state of harmony is happiness.”
Prosperity: Feeling of having more than required physical facility.
For prosperity two things are required –
1. Identification of the quantity required for physical needs &
2. Ensuring availability / production

We are in relation ship with people, other human being
The things we use, come from what we call as nature
Presently, as we look around, we find most of the people in the following two categories
Before we explain these we should have a clear understanding of ‘Desires’. Desires are of
1. Materialistic: Food, shelter, clothes and physical facilities which are quantifiable
2. Non- materialistic: It is qualitative in nature like respect, trust, happiness, recognition, peace etc
Where do we stand today
At the level of Individual: rising problems of depression, psychological disorder, suicides, stress, insecurity, health problem
At the level of Family: Breaking of joint family, mistrust and insecurity in relationship, divorce, legal suits
At the level of Society: Terrorism, casteism, wars between nations, fear of nuclear and genetic welfare
At the level of nature: Global warming, water, soil, air, noise pollution, resource depletion of minerals and oil, loss of fertility of soil
To live with continuous happiness and prosperity, the program is ‘to understand & to live in harmony at all levels of our living / existence’.

within one self, being in harmony with others and being harmony with nature.
