We Came from Vaikuntha Millions of Years Ago
In London on 6 August 1973 Srila Prabhupada informed us that millions and millions of years ago we came down from Vaikuntha, the spiritual world, to this material world. Kuntha means anxiety, and vaimeans without. So Vaikuntha means that world where there is no anxiety. And Kuntha means the world of unlimited anxiety in which we currently live.
The good news is that since we all originally came from Vaikuntha we are all citizens of that all-blissful eternal abode. Now all we have to do is reclaim our birthright by surrendering ourselves at the lotus feet of Lord Sri Krishna and regaining our eternal identities in His unlimitedly sweet transcendental realm.
I am a 1st year master of design student at the Indian Institute of Information Technology, Design and Manufacturing, Jabalpur. I am doing research on mental stress and suicide cases in the student community. I want to develop a method to erase mental stress in student life by properly designing the space in the student's room. I want to generate a pattern for student housing which generates positive energy. So I need guidance. I am waiting, Sir.

Complete and perfect stress relief comes when one fully realizes that he is not his material body, that he is instead a spiritual being who is the eternal all-blissful, all-knowing servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna, the source of all existence.
This is described nicely as follows in Bhagavad-gita 18.54 as follows:
brahma-bhūtaḥ prasannātmā
na śocati na kāṅkṣati
samaḥ sarveṣu bhūteṣu
mad-bhaktiṁ labhate parām
"One who is thus transcendentally situated at once realizes the Supreme Brahman and becomes fully joyful. He never laments or desires to have anything. He is equally disposed toward every living entity. In that state he attains pure devotional service unto Me."
So if you want to give stress relief to the students, make them Krishna conscious and design their dormitory to facilitate the practice of Krishna bhakti by including a temple room in their dormitory where qualified devotees of the Lord can worship Sri Krishna and train the students in the ultimate self-realization science of Krishna bhakti as revealed in the Bhagavad-gita. If you can make such arrangement, there will no more stress and no more suicides among the students. The entire world will be transformed by a new generation of spiritually enlightened students who will become the new leaders of the world society.

Answer: Make Them Stress Free by Krishna Bhakti
No material design can give relief from stress. No matter how nicely you design the student's living quarters if he considers his body to be his actual self, he cannot be free from stress. This is because the root cause of all stress in this material world is false identification with the material body. As soon as one thinks that he is his body he must immediately be in stress because this body is fated to get sick, get old, and die by the laws of this material nature.Complete and perfect stress relief comes when one fully realizes that he is not his material body, that he is instead a spiritual being who is the eternal all-blissful, all-knowing servant of the Supreme Personality of Godhead Lord Sri Krishna, the source of all existence.
This is described nicely as follows in Bhagavad-gita 18.54 as follows:
