Swamiji dwells on different techniques to shift one's state of being in a way so that parenting becomes a joy and a spiritual experience in one's life.

In this book, the management and spiritual Guru Swami Sukhabodhananda makes you realize that being simple is easy. Begin with being simple. The right way is to go easy. One has to learn to parent oneself as there is a child in each one of us and this experience will help us in wise parenting.

Life should be a wise search. Joy, not fear is the tool or mantra. This book provides the reader an action plan for transforming life by providing practical techniques. This book is a gift to gently guide the reader to a new path.

The author believes that a dewdrop or a blade of grass has as much significance in the universe as a star. Each one of us is unique. Let the journey of parenting be a pilgrimage of joy.

An important dimension of my teaching is, life is not uni- dimensional but multidimensional. The quality of one's life depends on how an individual infuses quality in all aspects of life.

A beautiful song cannot be sung in one pitch; a painting cannot be made using only one color; a grand dinner cannot be prepared with a single ingredient. So too, by focusing on any one aspect of life, complete well being cannot be achieved.

Therefore, I have made an attempt to unfold different dimen- sions of life such as

• Stress Management
• Fear Management
• People Management
• Art of Wise Parenting
• Creating a Happy Marriage
I find most parents are teaching parents than learning parents. Life presents us with both good and bad. Good parenting involves in educating the children to accept the existence of both and to have an intelligence to choose wisely. Art of wise parenting involves parenting oneself first. Once you know the art of parenting yourself, then you can parent your children better.
