Cultural Values in Ancient Indian Economic and Political Thoughts
Lallanji Gopal
Dr. Lallanji Gopal, formerly Professor of Ancient Indian History and Dean of Arts, Benaras Hindu University, gave three lectures on this topic on 5, 7 and 8 August 1995 at the Ramakrishna Mission Institute of Culture, Golpark. This book contains the text of these lectures.
Avoid excessive merriment. A mind in that state never becomes calm; it becomes fickle. Excessive merriment will always be followed by sorrow. Tears and laughter are near kin. People so often run from one extreme to the other.
-Swami Vivekananda
