Hari Om!

Swami Aparajitananda makes it clear at inception itself how the topic is important for seekers (logical sequence: Liberation, Knowledge, purification and virtues) as well as for all at all levels.

To understand VALUE, Swamiji discusses giving examples what happens in all fields of life to the purpose of life and use of talents, etc. of one with only worldly knowledge and absence of value education.

It is discussed in depth how lack of value education affects family. Features of Hindu joint family, ancient nuclear family, modern nuclear family and living-in relationship are analysed in context of money, time, ego, stress, stability standpoint, purpose and mantra of lifestyle, etc.

Lastly, the question: "Is there happiness?" is examined in view of number of court cases, mental cases and a beautiful Gītā quote.

It is concluded: for all these reasons, values are to be valued.
