Happiness is the moment of the cessation of suffering- His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami Maharaj. 24-04-2015, Netherlands. Bhutan's development philosophy of so called ' Gross National Happiness' is slipping backward.  When His Majesty the King Jigme Singey Wangchuk explored the possibilities to  garner Kuwaiti fund and make diplomatic ties with the Muslim countries in early 1980's, the Indian congress in power under Rajiv Ghandhi was not happy on this drive of the monarch. In an interview in New Delhi, the king was questioned of the low Gross Domestic Product index in Bhutan.

I know Buddhistically, it calls for good karma. My mother died of complications from postnatal placenta retention when I was barely five years old. Seven months earlier she had lost her husband – my father. My youngest sister, who was the product of that fatal delivery died fifteen years later. As my maternal aunt raised her, we grew up as cousins rather than as full blood siblings. After the demise of my p...
