Swami Tadananda on Holistic Wellbeing in Conversation with Hemant Parikh

In a thoughtful exchange with Hemant Parikh, Swami Tadananda, President of the Ramakrishna Mission, delves into the concept of holistic wellbeing — a state of harmony that goes beyond just physical health.

Swami Tadananda begins by highlighting the depth behind a simple greeting like “How are you?” — a question that often addresses far more than one’s physical condition. He emphasizes that as human beings, we are more than just our bodies; we are spiritual beings housed in a physical form.

He elaborates on the teachings of Vedanta, explaining that the Vedas — compiled after centuries of internal exploration — capture the essence of humanity’s spiritual search. While we often identify with our physical form, Vedanta reminds us that our true nature lies beyond it.

Swami Tadananda stresses that one may appear healthy on the outside, yet still struggle internally. True wellbeing, he says, must consider the mind, body, and spirit — an integrated approach that reflects the core teachings of the Vedas and the Ramakrishna tradition.
