It becomes important to study this construct as challenges are in everybody?s life, and in this view how effectively we deal with them and come out of them stronger could be the biggest determinant of success and well being in life. This study will discover the concept of resilience from indigenous perspective, and suggest indigenous techniques to develop resilience as a tool for optimal human life. Modern researchers have started to explore various correlates of mental health and well being in texts such as Bhagvad geeta, Patanajli yogdarshan,Ramcharitmanas,Bhagavadgeeta and other works that provide profound knowledge and solutions to modern issues in hidden format.
