The book Healthy Mind Healthy Body focuses on "total health"—emphasizing that a healthy mind is just as crucial as a healthy body, and both are vital assets for developing a healthy spiritual life.Most of the essays were originally published in the December 1996 special edition of Vedanta Kesari. This expanded book version features three new essays by Dr. H. Sudarshan, Dr. H. R. Nagendra, and Dr. Ryosuke Uryu, alongside a revised, enlarged magazine article by Swami Bhajanananda. Because the original Vedanta Kesari edition on holistic health sold out quickly, this book was created for wider circulation to wish good health to all beings.
