Happiness Is a Science – Aditi’s Vow
- Happiness Is a Science – Aditi’s Vow
Happiness is a Science - Aditi's Vow is a 20th century Hindu theological commentary made in 1993 by Tamala Krishna Goswami in regards to the Goddess Aditi as detailed in the eighth canto of the Bhagavata Purana. This commentary discusses Aditi's vow, Payovrata, which she undertakes for the benefit of her children the Adityas.
In the narrative, Mahabali Maharaja, king of the demons, had conquered the heavenly planets and driven out their rulers the Adityas, Aditi's children. The commentary by Tamal Krishna Goswami centers on Aditi's mythology in which she undertook a vow of importance (the vow which is referenced is Payovrata) and discusses why Aditi undertook this vow or vrata in order to bring her children back to the heavenly planets.
This commentary was released as a vinyl album in 1993.
