ABSTRACT
The Vedic texts teach that harmony and happiness are the basic factors of all success in every field of life and in the life to come. Every human being wants five-fold success in this world of the highest order, namely: success in the right understanding of true religion; in the acquisition of legitimate wealth; in the fulfilment of noble desires; in the attainment of true knowledge; in the realization of God-Spirit. Impartiality and veracity of conduct contribute towards an all-round prosperity in health, in gaining friends, in wealth and in spirituality. In brief true prosperity is transcendental success in achieving perfection in body, in mind and in soni. True religion is the right conduct of life or dharma. Man is a religious animal and needs one comprehensive human religion transcending selfish shibboleths for the transcendental success of humanity.
