Apathy, Agitation and Superactivity: Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar
APATHY, AGITATION AND SUPER-ACTIVITY

The concept of being above pains and pleasures appears to be akin to being apathetic and indifferent.

The visible sensitive responsiveness to the surroundings; appears to be the hallmark of life.

But apathy, inertia, indolence, intoxication and inaction on the one hand and agitation and aggravated assertion on the other, do not give fulfillment and/or desired result.

Can NAMASMARAN help acquire such state of existence which can emanate the appropriate, illuminating, rectifying and objective influence on the inner and outer environment, besides appropriate intellectual, emotional and physical actions?

It is for everyone to ponder and verify.

Freedom from Anxiety, Restlessness and Tension: Dr. Shriniwas Kashalikar
The embryo or fetus does not seek freedom to break open womb “the prison” in which it lives. A bud does not seek to blossom instantly into flower. A seed does not seek freedom to become a tree instantly. A musician does not seek freedom to express rhythm and melody instantly.

What makes you anxious, restless and tense? Is it lack of freedom? No! Being in disharmony and discord with subtle forces governing nature; makes you isolated, anxious, restless and tense!

The so called “freedom” of unrestricted indulgence and exploitation or abstinence and deprivation in physical pleasures; ultimately leaves you prostrated, empty and pitiable at the end.

Freedom in true sense (which is freedom from anxiety, restlessness and tension) is therefore being one with the nature’s innate and timed melody and harmony.

You could verify if NAMASMARAN can enable you to succeed in this!

CORRUPT PERSPECTIVE, THINKING, FEELINGS & ACTIONS
CORRUPT PERSPECTIVE, THINKING, FEELINGS & ACTIONS

The word corruption is used so extensively and in so many contexts that it’s meaning has become obscure! Hence corruption is usually and wrongly equated with mere financial scams, bribing, kick backs etc.

Actually the corruption is as ubiquitous as life and the consciousness! The degree of degradation (influenced by the surroundings and influencing the surroundings as well) in one’s own eyes; either consciously or subconsciously and knowingly or unknowingly; determines the degree of corruption (one’s perspective, thoughts, feelings and actions)! The environment and this corruption further interact and influence each other continuously. The corruption of the leaders in different fields in the world and that of the followers; also influence each other. Thus the corruption of the political, religious, intellectual, industrial and other leaders in world can influence the corruption of an individual in any and every part of the world.

Perspective is like the space of consciousness! If the “space” of consciousness is normal, then perspective is universal or normal! The degree of restriction of that space of consciousness determines the degree of the suffocation and throttling of consciousness and perspective also! The degree of this suffocation and throttling corrupts perspective proportionately.

Thus as the space of consciousness goes on getting restricted and perspective goes getting deteriorated, you start getting separated from nature, world, countries, religions, regions, provinces, sects, linguistic groups, castes, communities, creeds, sects and even your own family!

The disease of corrupted perspective is subtle and hence not easily noticed. Since the medial systems today have not learnt to diagnose and treat the disease viz. “corruption of perspective”; they do not identify and treat this disease, which often inflicts the medical systems themselves!

Sectarian and corrupt perspective makes your thoughts, feelings and actions also increasingly mean, lonely, weak, inert, grumbling, intolerant, inconsiderate, resentful, vindictive and miserably selfish and pathogenic (many times concealed under deceptive glamour and glitter) for yourself and the society!

For example; the paradigms or premises of the sectarian supremacy, racial superiority, financial expansionism, religious imposition and so on (without concern for the wellbeing of the entire world) constitutes corruption of perspective.

What is corrupt thinking?

The holistic perspective or normal perspective as gets corrupted (diseased and degenerated) gradually becomes increasingly NARROW, sick and sectarian.

From this sick and sectarian soil of corrupt perspective, the sick and sectarian; corrupt thinking germinates! Everything holistic gets degenerated into everything sick and sectarian!

The rationale behind the international and national laws, conventions, traditions, rules, pacts, in tune with the above perspective; to a greater or lesser extent (without concern for wellbeing of the entire world) constitute the corruption in thoughts.

The racially discriminating constitutions, the legal discrimination on the basis of castes, legal yet unjust tax system/s to exploit certain section for the benefit of another section, the repressive laws against trade, shops and such commercial activities, the legalized destructive promotion of alcohol, the various laws and rules with respect to special economic zones and so on are examples of “corrupt thinking”! The present sectarian medical and education systems (conspicuously lacking integration and productive domain respectively) are glaring examples of corrupt thinking.

The so called corruption (embodying mere financial scams, bribing and even other corrupt activities) is actually crude symptom of the deeper disease viz. corrupt thinking, which in turn is the crude symptom of deeper disease viz. corrupt perspective!

What are corrupt emotions?

The motivation behind the literature, art, media, movies, dramas, advertisements and so on (serving the sectarian aims, petty objectives, and vested interests ingrained in the above intellectual themes; without concern for the welfare of people at large or even at the cost of the welfare of people at large) constitute the corruption of emotions and instincts.

What are corrupt actions?

The actual laws, literature, art forms, media campaigns, movements, and such every activity in different fields either organized or unorganized (without concern for the welfare of the world or at the cost of the welfare of the world) constitute the corruption in actions.

Considering the extent of corruption from the brief discussion above, it should be clear how corruption is really ubiquitous i.e. not only outside but within me as well!!

The roots of the corruption thrive from the faulty perspective from which the corrupt thoughts, emotions and actions spring.

Hence to rectify corruption; mere physical actions, emotional hue and cry and intellectual jargons (even though they may constitute an inevitable phase in the groping crusade against corruption) unknowingly ignore the roots of corruption and hence are not enough. They can not effectively blossom the global perspective and global conscience.

For this i.e. to rectify, repair, restore, regenerate, rejuvenate and effectively blossom the ROOTS of global perspective and global conscience the answer is NAMASMARAN. It is said that NAMSMARAN breaks open the throttling shackles, which restrict the space of your consciousness and thereby effectively treats the corruption of your perspective, corrupt thinking and corrupt feelings and actions

This universal solution NAMSMARAN (which encompasses all visible and invisible contingents) if practiced universally; is said to rectify, repair, restore, regenerate, rejuvenate and effectively blossom the ROOTS of global perspective and global conscience and cure the subsequent fallouts of ubiquitous corruption thinking, feelings and actions; right from its roots.

This point of view however, like any other view point needs verification on a massive scale. As the “experiment” does not involve invasive techniques, is absolutely non traumatic, is totally nontoxic, and is completely non-expensive and does not poke or interfere with any belief system, it should be acceptable to everyone, belonging to all beliefs and non-beliefs!

Holistic Health
Holistic Health
The lack or deficiency of perspective, policies, plans and actions of universal welfare, at the international, national, local and individual level is a hallmark of and main cause of global ill health!

The glaring example is that of education! The present education system (mainstream education) basically and almost completely prevents a huge section of society such as teachers, students, clerks, servants, sweepers and many others such as education inspectors, etc. from being creative and productive and incurrs colossal wastage of space, electricity, construction cost, educational material etc.

Lack of productive element in education not only causes colossal loss to nation but it also causes economic loss to children while suppressing and starving their psychomotor domain and their creative capacity and sense of self sufficiency and self esteem!

The lack of productive element and economic incentive is a single most important cause of
1] Reduction in the dignity of labor amongst those who continue to learn, as well as reduction in the income of the concerned families and the nation
2] Lack of education, lack of employment and starvation or criminalization amongst those who are forced to drop out because the poor villagers’ children normally contribute to the earning of the family.
3] Inhuman suffering of those dropouts, who somehow manage to get into cheap labor for subsistence.

It is high time that the we all in the world realize that even the semblence of holistic health or in fact true health of an individual and society; is not possible without implementation of holistic & globally beneficial policies in all the walks of life!

Adopting Holistic approach (combined with analytical) and burial of fragmented, sectarian and lopsided outlook and approach; is essential, imperative and urgent for ushering in Holistic Health i.e. True Wellbeing of One and All!

RID - Recession Induced Depression & Homeopathy
A new pandemic has crept into our society and friends its not the swine flu.....its something which no one seems to take notice of.It causes insomnia, anxiety,anorexia , guilt, envy, shame, headaches and in some grave cases even suicidal thoughts. Most of us might have experienced some form of this sickness atleast mild anxiety or insecurity. Ever wondered what is causing all this? No, its not some alien bacteria or virus............ the culprit is the 'R' word which has become a household name by now. Guessed it right its the RECESSION and I would call this spectrum of symptoms as Recession Induced Depression or in short 'RID'.

THE EVOLUTION

Daily news of people losing jobs has stirred anxiety and insecurity among many. The ones who have lost their jobs are facing pangs of guilt for not saving enough and shame for being jobless. There have been many suicides and a surge in crime rate following recession.

THE REMEDY

At this juncture HOMOEOPATHY comes to your rescue. Homoeopathy is a holistic treatment which believes in eliminating the disease from its roots. It has treated many psychological illnessess successfully.Homoeopathy has more than hundred drugs which act on the mental and emotional level and establishes a cure. A detailed case-taking is done by taking account of the patient's psychological state in comparision to his or her usual self.Recent changes in the general state of the patient like appetite, thirst, bowel movements, sleep,food cravings etc are take into account. Physical RID symptoms like headaches,chest pain etc are considered and a prescription is made.

TIPS TO COMBAT RID

• STOP WORRYING - Worry worsens symtoms and anyways tomorrow is not in our hands.
• SOCIALISING - Interact with near and dear ones and avoid the R word in your conversations.
• BUILD YOUR CONFIDENCE - Believe in yourself is the mantra. A positive aura keeps negativity at bay.
• RELAXATION TECHNIQUES - Prayers,meditation and evening walks do help a lot in calming a hyper mind.

BEYOND ENTERTAINMENT: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Everywhere people seem to be engrossed in some or other kind of entertainment; under the garb of spiritualism.

Spiritualism never was and certainly is not anti entertainment. But spiritualism is not the same as entertainment.

Spiritualism has never been and is certainly not against pleasures. But spiritualism is not the same as getting immersed in visual, olfactory, aural, gustatory, tactile or such pleasures.

This glorified escapism is NOT spirituality. It is at best; and in physiological terms, premature emotional and intellectual ejaculation.

NAMASMARAN is said reach you to the center of the internal and external universe. It is said to enable you to see the truth. Seeing and experiencing the reality is enlightenment. Reorienting and restructuring the perspective, plans, laws, rules and regulations around the enlightenment and conducive to enlightenment; have no alternative.

DREAM & VISION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
What is use of the scriptures, mythology and other variety of religious and philosophical literature?

What is the value of creative poetry incorporating sublime dreams for the society?

What is the relevance of magnum opus such as Benhur or Dr. Ziwago, in terms of social development?

What is the use of bombardment of sermons in schools, colleges and on other pulpits?

The violence and crimes do not seem to reduce! Violence in Germany was replaced by violence in Hiroshima. Violence in Hiroshima was replaced by violence in Vietnam. Thereafter violence kept on erupting in Cambodia (Kampuchea), Iraq, Afghanistan, Ethiopia, Uganda, Rwanda and so on.

Are the expressions depicting justice, peace, brotherhood and so on, mere emotional outbursts of illusory or subjective nature of some sensitive individuals?

This question can come in any one’s mind.

The answer is neither unrealistically optimistic nor unrealistically pessimistic.

The realization of justice, peace and brotherhood (to a greater extent than what is prevalent) is equivalent to objective process of consistent and conscious evolutionary transformation, in billions, through generations through unhesitant, single minded, simultaneous and consistent commitment to and practice of NAMASMARAN by billons of people in the world through generations (analogous to generations working for the construction of Belur temple and sculpting of Ajanta).

Artistic, scientific and even prophetic expressions are periodic harbingers of this mega process of global nature; which keeps on eluding you at any given time, because, it can at best be apparent in bits at a time, as it involves many generations all over the world!

Thus neither the scriptures are false, nor our faith futile. A process that spreads over millennia is a reality, but not comprehensible by limited individual capacity.

It is our privilege that we are aware of and linked with this all encompassing cosmic superprocess, superstate and superpower viz. NAMASMARAN. This fact itself is a matter of ultimate assurance, and rejoices.

NAMASMARAN & NEUROSIS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Indulgence and asceticism, atheism and theism, romance and renunciation; and such variety of apparently conflicting phenomena render completion to life. If you try to take away anyone of these, the life appears incomplete.

In fact even as I was convinced intellectually about the value of NAMSMARAN in life and wrote books on it right from 1992, one of the major hurdles in appreciating and experiencing the cosmic benevolence of NAMASMARAN was its depiction (or my erroneous perception of the depiction) as an activity of elderly, neurotic, inactive, pessimists, escapists and failed individuals. Even the books, movies, and dramas on saints and bhakti sangeet also (devotional music) made saintly life and the practice of NAMASMARAN appear miserable and pathetic. I never thought this was the A grade happiness, implied in spiritualism or self realization.

Partly because of this and partly because of the social justice and freedom implied in the atheism, which I cherish even today, I could not be involved completely in any particular theist tradition of NAMASMARAN.

But even as I, due to my repulsion for the pathetic life style (as depicted or interpreted by me) felt material pleasures could not be amputated arbitrarily from one’s life if one were to evolve healthily, I was not at ease even in the “best” of petty pleasures, which could at best give B grade pleasure, not A grade happiness implied in global justice.

Thus neither could I identify myself with the ascetics nor with the materialists. I kept on vacillating from one side to another like a pendulum.

But now it is more than clear, that NAMASMARAN is a panacea, it is an objective phenomenon and it can not be the monopoly of any one camp such as ascetic, indulgent, theist, atheist, scientific, religious and so on.
It is an objective phenomenon with cosmic benevolence for blossoming of one and all. It is as objective and as vital for human blossoming, as the oxygen is for human life.
It is beyond science, religion and philosophy. It is beyond human thought. It is a matter of practice and experience, not belief, feeling or imagination.

NAMASMARAN connects you to the center of life, time and cosmic consciousness, i.e. with your true self. NAMASMARAN (according to one’s tradition) is the privileged express highway to realize maximum potentials in every possible way, for one and all!

SUPERSTITION? SUPERSTITION? DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
The need of beliefs is probably as old as history of life. This is clear from the beliefs seen in animals!

The beliefs can be instinctual, emotional and intellectual. These beliefs determine our behavior and make restless and even miserable in their absence.

The term instinctual is used here to indicate inexplicable primitive emotions. Just as we are dependent on food, sexual respite and other instincts, similarly we are dependent on emotional solace of being loved and wanted. All this goes unnoticed as it is taken for granted.

The individual horizons broaden through emotional maturation and intellectual profundity. The nature of beliefs is replaced by “evolved” beliefs. But their scope is restricted by sensory input (even if immensely multiplied by technology) they receive!

Theories such as “big bang” or “organic evolution conceived by Charles Darwin” are intellectual beliefs termed “scientific”. They are based on the observations of linear progress in many apparent aspects of nature; especially from conception to death!

Such theories based on apparent progress are subjective illusions fondly harbored by many as scientific “truths”! Often this makes them inconsiderate.

Not merely, science and technology but even the ultimate thoughts in philosophy are lame in terms of capability to live without any beliefs and/or so called convictions! Beliefs of some kind or other; whether called superstitions, faiths, convictions, theories or principles are crutches the mankind has been used to and dependent on. This human frailty is biological, physiological and psychological and hence need not be condemned.

Instead of harboring condescending attitude the literates should realize this fact of “crutches” and become humble.

Uncertainty is difficult to fathom and to live with even for a great scientist or a profound philosopher. It is almost incompatible with life of sanity!

Hence the only answer to overcome superstitions and the prejudices born out of them is to live beyond the realm of senses.

Is this possible? Self realization is said to make it possible and free you from any kinds of dogmas (leading to discord) that you would otherwise depend on and get crippled by. Self realization and consequent empowerment of this kind is said to be possible through NAMASMARAN. One can try it and verify.
