Why an Equanimous Society : If the whole Human society be divided into various parts, then on the basis of varied thinkings. beliefs and relations there will emerge a good many groups, but with a unilateral point of view the whole Human Society will be called a society composed of various groups. Then amongst such various societies, why one more addition in the name of Equanimous society?

By proceeding with a systematic order, its accomplishment will be easier and more convenient.In the whole world i ein all its various spheres, the establishment of the Equanimous life-system can not be easy all at once. In its new perspective, to get the view point of equanimous thinking assimilated and translated in practical life, can be only in a phased programme. An Equanimous society making this phased programme successful and continuously expanding the equanimity can be called an organisation.
