In this fast-paced world, while we have to exert a lot of hard work and energy, be it to accomplish our tasks, achieve our goals or simply to make ends meet, we also fall victim to the mental affliction called Stress. In spite of the tremendous advancement of science and technology, inventions in medical science, there is no solution to eliminate stress entirely. Different people experience stress at different levels and for different reasons, however there are always questions in our minds - how some people can handle bigger tasks and responsibility with ease, while others are unable to cope up with seemingly relatively simpler tasks. Why are we stressed out, especially when we need to do a task that is critical for us?
We have accepted stress as a way to cope up with our work and started to believe this is the way to work. Is this thinking correct? Is being stressed the only way to accomplish our tasks? Stress costs us our health. Stress affects both body and mind immensely and is the cause of many ailments including as fatal as heart attack.
In this Stress Management course, Swami Mukundananda explains us in detail, beginning with what is stress to the ultimate solution for eradicating stress from our lives. This secret to leading a stress free life is derived from the science of work given by the Supreme Lord in the most sacred text of God - The Bhagavad Gita. Swamiji has explained the profound meaning in such simple ways, citing examples relevant to today’s world and how Karma Yog, a timeless solution, is applicable in today’s situation.
