Exploring the Philosophy of Happiness and the Good Life in Hinduism: Insights from Indian Scriptures

Author(s) Sunita Parashar
Country India
Abstract This research delves into Hinduism's profound theory of happiness and the happy life, drawing on primary sources such as Indian texts and the Vedas. To grasp the varied nature of these concepts, it dives into a wide range of Hindu philosophical works, including the Upanishads, Bhagavad Gita, Manusmriti,
and Puranas. References from the Vedas also provide historical and intellectual context. To extract essential themes, qualitative content analysis is used.
The research exposes some crucial features of Hindu philosophy regarding happiness and the good life.
The concept of dharma is central, emphasizing the path of duty as a source of inner contentment. The interaction of karma and dharma emphasizes the effects of one's activities on the quest of happiness.
Moksha, or deliverance from samsara, is described as the pinnacle of a well-lived life and the highest kind of bliss. These insights have their origins in Vedic thinking.
The intellectual roots of happiness and the good life in Hinduism, drawn from Indian scriptures and the Vedas, have deep consequences for contemporary thought and behavior. Understanding dharma, karma, moksha, and practices such as meditation and yoga provides individuals with a complete framework for
living a purposeful, ethical, and self-realized existence. Furthermore, these ancient teachings cross boundaries between cultures, resonating with people who are seeking meaning and fulfilment in the present-day world.
