Online published on 24 January, 2017. Abstract The present research reports the psychometric properties of the Hindi version (translated) of three recently developed scales, namely Peace of Mind Scale (PoM; Lee et al., 2013), Harmony in Life Scale (HILS; Kjell et al., 2015), and Sat-Chit-Ananda Scale (SCA; Singh et al., 2013). All three scales assess well-being in terms of an inner experience as focused in Eastern cultures. The scales were administered to 474 Indian adults aged 18 to 50 years (M Age=25.68, SD= 8.10). Overall findings confirmed the original factor structures and revealed acceptable psychometric properties for Hindi versions of all three scales. Further, these scales were found to be significantly positively correlated with each other. This study helps to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and empirical investigation of Eastern concepts of well-being.
