Description

Youth is a time for indulgence, old age for repentance. This saying can be disproved with a little bit of training and reorganizing.

Old people can lead a life of dignity. They can even become as precious as old coins and vintage cars. All it takes is a little of time-management and adjustment on their part. This book gives scientific and practical guidelines (based on scriptural texts) to help senior citizens become positive contributors to society.

To quote Pujya Gurudev, Swami Chinmayananda, Old age need not be painful. Death may not be a frightening mystery. To learn to live in devotion and surrender to Him is possible (and is easier) in the days of retirement.

This book is a sure self-help book that will help all oldie-goldies ripen like sweet fruits with the juice of wisdom
