To live a blissful life one should not depend on others. Happiness always needs to be brought from within. We have to make a habit of always being happy.”
He added that, today, the team of Swami Rama Himalayan University had explained the science of happy life in a very simple way which would prove useful. He asked the people present to adopt these methods in life.
