STRESS AND OUR HOME: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

One of the major causes of STRESS is; the nature of personality! It is multidimensional and heterogeneous and hence literally under tension from different sides!

We are; under suffering from shearing forces; from; physical body, instincts, emotions, intelligence, perspective, conscience and our soul! Similarly; we are also under strain; from our house, our village, our town, our province, our country and the world. In addition we also under tension from; our past, present, and future; and the varieties of our imaginary world!

Thus; we have all the STRESS, which the other living beings have; and; is further added with intricate and complex issues; making it a difficult proposition to handle and conquer.

However if we are able to walk on our way to �our home�; we encompass, engulf and digest this stress! When we get the glimpses of �our home� we realize that �our home� is not only deep within us; but also within the core of every particle of the whole universe!

This Total Stress Management is evident in what Saint Dnyaneshwar wrote in Marathi; in his all time great masterpiece; Dnyaneshvari.

HE VISHAVACHI MAJHEE GHARA AISI MATI JAYACHI STHIRA
KIMBAHUNA CHARACHARA APAN JHALA

(He himself; becomes the entire universe; whose instincts, emotions, intelligence and perspective; uphold solidly; "this whole universe is my home�!)

Total Stress Management (the core of which is NAMASMARAN), which begins with the study of meaning, causes, dimensions, effects, mechanisms; and through holistic perspective, policies, plans and programs; and actions; ultimately culminates in "Being" at �our home�, which is full of self generating eternal fountain of ambrosia.
