In India 1st feb is celebrated as the day of Mauni Amavasya which is symbolic of the need “to be still”.People practise silence to be still to search for a deeper purpose of life.This should be part of our daily practice to find solutions for our distress to de-stress for self-management techniques. Aurobindo and Mahatma Gandhi  choose “mauna”to go deeper into the evolution of the human spirit and Gandhi choose mauna to be guided by the Inner Voice in navigating his public life. So “Mauna”can be taught as one of the powerful techniques to manage our daily life stressors. Mauna can enhance Emotional Intelligence and Emotional Agility.The state of Mauna -Stillness lies at the heart of all spiritual traditions alluding to a dimensions of consciousness far beyond thinking mind where in one becomes “ aware of awareness”itself of a “silence within” which is one’s “own self” Moving from silence to stillness is the inner road taken by those who search for deeper purpose of life. Thich Nhat Hanh refers to this transforming voice of silence as the “power of quiet” in the world full of noise . He would gently prod people to heed to this “eloquent sound of silence” in which we can hear the call of “life and love”
