The Ananda Vacanamrtam ("Blissful Discourses") series is a collection of speeches, some formal and some intimate, given by Shrii Shrii Anandamurti. The publication of such speeches began in 1978 when the author resumed, after a gap of some years, his practice of giving regular discourses to his followers-an audience that by then included spiritual aspirants from many countries of the world as well as from India. This volume includes speeches containing certain unique points of practical guidance for the lives of all human beings. If a person is to reach the other shore of life then he or she has to lessen his/her life's burden. But human beings are very weak, so they cling to their burden and do not want to give it up. Even if they know that all these things constritute their life's burden and there is the fear of their life's boat sinking due to this burden, even then they do not want to give these things up.
