ABOUT THE BOOK 

If making money, finding a lover, winning and award or reaching a goal is a good reason to be happy then meditation certainly seems like on good reason, ironically, happiness through mediation is the best reason of all since it directs us to the source of happiness itself, the inner self. Happiness that has no good reason is the most stable happiness which cannot be destroyed when the outer world cause is removed. It is author's wish that everyone learn the secret of happiness for the best reason of all.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR 

Originally a literature professor from New York, it was a life-changing episode when a gun was held to his head that made Swamiji begin to question what life was really about. In 1970 he began a spiritual quest that led him to India, where he studied widely until finding his teacher, Baba Muktananda.

Today Swami Shankarananda is a leading meditation teacher and director of The Ashram in Mount Eliza, Melbourne, Australia. He is the author of the ground breaking Consciousness Is Everything - a practical explanation of Kashmir Shaivism as well as other books including Happy For No Good Reason - an Australian best seller. His Self-inquiry meditation practices makes it easy for everyone to have an immediate and direct spiritual experience.
