Description: This is a hard cover book titled MENTAL HEALTH and HINDU PSYCHOLOGY by Swami Akhilananda. Published by Harper & Brothers, New York, copyright 1951, stated First Edition, 231 pages.
This book presents an interpretation of Hindu spiritual discipline and its practical application to lessen emotional stress such as anxiety, fear, frustration, aggression and tension.
"Swami Akhilananda shows how to reach mental health by applying the classic techniques of Hinduism. The author explains how a stable and healthy mind is the starting point for our spiritual quest. He thus brings together psychology and religion in a most universal manner, showing that personality development and the search for ultimate values are one and the same discipline. The book's approach is hard-hitting and practical, using case histories from the Swami's 35 years' counseling experience in the United States. The reader, whatever his own beliefs, will be enriched by this perspective on solving the concrete problems of daily life."
'Psychologist O. Hobart Mower writes in the Introduction: "The author is an accomplished scholar, not only in the field of classical religion (see his Hindi View of Christ), but also in respect to the theories and theoretical dilemmas of contemporary psychiatry, psychology, and sociology (Hindu Psychology) Most of all, Swami Akhilananda is a refined, sensitive, tolerant human being whose wisdom and kindliness have already touched the lives of innumerable persons and will, in the present volume, bring new understanding and a surer perspective to many more."
