Overview
As we aspire for rising economic prosperity and a strong
and confident India, this book forcefully reminds us of
the values that make for a truly sustainable society, at
the heart of which is the family. For it is not economic
growth or military strength alone that will make India
strong. Sustainable success comes from values, and
these can sustain a society and a nation even in times of
hardship. The book expresses an ideal by which Indian
society may prosper and speaks of how spirituality can
help create a noble nation and a better world. It provides
a valuable counterpoint to the modern-day emphasis
on consumerism and the philosophy of more is better,
highlighting the sanctity of the natural world and its great
power to evoke human creativity and love.
Writing on this crucial subject are two iconic Indians.
Together, Acharya Mahapragya and A.P.J. Abdul Kalam--
one a Jain muni revered as a saint, the other a visionary,
a distinguished scientist and a former President of India--
bring their vast experience to bear on this important
subject. As the authors put it, it's only a united and happy
family that will lead to a strong nation, one that can be
a true fulfilment of 5,000 years of India's civilization. The
book takes up the difficult and pressing task of setting a
new agenda in a time of radical social change. It shows us
the path we need to follow to take India to its rightful place
as a great nation.
