Happiness… a small word…yet utterly meaningful. This paper is all about understanding the real essence of happiness. Where happiness could be found ? Are we really Happy?  What is the real essence of happiness? Though, these questions may seem really simple but diving into the answers of these is a truly daunting task. Much has been talked and preached about happiness in Vedas, Upanishads, sacred books of different religions, by philosophers, by psychologists etc. but how much we have understood, how much we practice it in real sense, is what really matters. Moreover, wellness can be explained as that state of mind in which one feels good and well, experiencing positive emotions like contentment in which he/she has control over one’s own life, having positive relationships etc. Basically, having a sense of purposeful and meaningful life and efficient functionality is wellness.

Lord Krishna says that ‘there is only one kind of Joy that lasts forever, and that, is the Bliss felt by discovering the divine oneself’.

Therefore, this paper is an honest attempt that revolves around discovering ourselves. This paper aims at throwing some light on understanding the concept of wellness and happiness based on the understanding of author’s view point. It also focusses on comprehending the happiness and wellness quotient among women in India.
