A mentally retarded boy staying in a orphanage was bought to me with a scrotal swelling. The boy is 14 years old. He looks disturbed because of pain although he was not able to speak. I examined him and found that his scrotum was swollen and very tender.
The ultrasound showed that his testes had rotated and there was no blood supply � meaning it was already dead. His caretaker says its swollen since 5 days. Poor fellow. A normal boy would have come immediately with such a swelling. His mental retardation and absence of parents had led him to loose his organ.
I had to take him up for surgery. On opening his scrotum his testes was totally dead. There was nothing that i could do for an organ that had lost its blood supply for 5 days! In normal circumstances such surgeries taken up immediately after the onset of swelling can save the testes. Most of the times I have observed that if parents are prompt and bring their child in emergency, the testes can be salvaged. If its late, the testes is lost for ever.

ELECTIONS AND NAMASMARAN DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Student: Sir! I find it difficult to concentrate on NAMASMARAN amidst the cacophony of election fever!
Teacher: The elections and the people involved in them directly or indirectly are doing their job according to their perceptions and their capacities. We should do our job according to our perceptions and our capacities!
Student: But I get disturbed because; it appears to me that I am not getting involved in the process of ushering in the golden age for India!
Teacher: The process of NAMASMARAN is central and crucial to golden age! In absence of it the �golden age� would become sectarian and subjective!
Student: Are you sure?
Teacher: I am cent per cent sure!
Student: But why does the practice of NAMASMARAN appear irrelevant?
Teacher: That is because we are still far away from our inner ocean of light and power - the NAMA! We need victorious and steadfast efforts to practice and propagate NAMASMARAN!
Student: Thank you Sir! I shall try my best!

QUESTIONS AND NAMASMARAN :DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

The animals don�t seem to think about what, why, how, where, when where etc. A new born baby also does not seem to think that way.
But for some reason or the other; many of us are drowned in such questions for their life time! In fact; these questions are considered to be the backbone of learning. Even the fine arts, which otherwise seem to require no questions; on keener observation; are found to be enriched through these questions.
In short; human civilization and its development would not have been what it is today; in absence of these questions.
But interestingly, in the process of getting answers to many questions; we get entangled in newer questions; in the field of technology, science, art, ethics, philosophy and son!
The when the universe originated, why it originated, till where it extends, how it functions, what its purpose is; are all unknown. Naturally there are some efforts to provide answers, but they are obviously unsatisfactory.
All questions and answers; born from our instincts, feelings and thoughts even though unavoidable; are incomplete and do not yield ultimate fulfillment.
The past, present and future of �me�, every living being and the infinite universe are not known. There is a frightening and unending dark vacuum. But NAMASMARAN takes us to a realm of questionless completeness and fulfillment viz. NAMA, our Guru. He encompasses our past, present and future and is our final destination; contingent in whom is the creation and destruction of �me� and everything else.

NAMA, NAMASMARAN AND TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT (LAST PART 28): DR SHRINIWAS J. KASHALIKAR

Student: Now I can somewhat understand your peaceful dynamism!

Teacher: It is a great solace to be ever aware of the fact that Guru takes care of us like our mother! In fact Guru is our eternal mother! Just as our mother nurtures us in her womb for nine months; our Guru nurtures us through all our lives; through all the circumstances! Like our mother He delivers us at appropriate time; to the realm of immortality; His abode! This is the ultimate victory called GURU-BHET (being one with true self) and GURU KRUPA (the awareness of His most fulfilling benevolence and bounties)!

Student: Sir! Even though I understand what you say and would not like to refute it; isn�t it difficult; at least initially; to believe that Guru does everything; including whatever we can or cannot witness?

Teacher: This question does arise initially! It is because; we have not yet experienced the total control of Guru! Even if we repeatedly reiterate that our Guru is none other than the Almighty Himself; we are always influenced by and involved in; His personal life, His nature, His charisma, His feelings, His articulate preaching and His supernatural and superhuman feats; all embodied in His human form! This is our view about other mystics, prophets and incarnations as well! All of them; while extraordinary, superhuman and supernatural; still have limited capacity; as individuals. Since in their human form; they don�t govern; the complex scientific inventions, rapidly developing intriguing technology, world wars, earth quakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions and several cosmic phenomena, we find it difficult to believe in �Guru does everything�!

Student: In other words; we find it difficult to believe in supreme control of Guru; because; we identify Guru or prophets with their human forms!

Teacher: Yes! They appear to be the contingents in the cosmos; to us. The events in the universe appear to be either the products of the concerned individuals or teams; or impersonal, unplanned and automatic. They do not appear to be under the control of our Guru or any other prophet!
Actually; the Guru, mystics, prophets and incarnations of God in human form �do not do� (and do not say; �they do�). They know that their human forms actually �do not� do anything! Their human forms are merely the peripheral instruments through which the activities are executed not caused, designed or controlled! They are aware of the fact that the essence or root of all them as individuals; is the invisible supreme controller; the Mahakaran, the NAMA!

Student: I remember many saints saying that God does everything!

Teacher: Moreover; when it is said that Guru �does�; it does not imply an action such as driving a car, delivering a speech or cooking. Here doing implies ultimate control. An inexact analogy is that of superliving space-time! In absence of such superliving space-time; nothing would exist; nothing would work!

Student: This is rather difficult to comprehend! I will just restate and confirm! Firstly; the human forms are not doers; and secondly the expression �Guru does everything� actually implies a supreme and inevitable control! Am I right?

Teacher: Yes! Exactly! Even; all this �writing� and �I� are contingent amidst the eternal kingdom and supreme reign of my Guru i.e. NAMA. �SHRIRAM SAMARTH� also implies the same as �Guru or NAMA does everything�! To put in other way; what we perceive, feel and respond to; constitutes; changing, dependent, deceptive and limited �effects� and NOT the self controlled, independent causal reality. We are merely the instruments, the puppets! Whether great or small, wise or stupid and good or bad; we are puppets! Puppets may blame or adore other puppets just as a sword may blame or adore another sword; for some heinous or noble act respectively.
The controller of all this; is NAMA or Guru; the truly independent causal reality. It is eternal and super controlling cause of all this! It is the �field�, in which everything else is a �function� or �contingent�. It is the ultimate controlling reality beyond time, space and human consciousness. It is also termed SHRI RAM. The supremacy of this; in every respect is implied in �SAMARTH�! SHRI RAM SAMARTH is simply; the reiteration of this fact and reminder or reorientation to NAMASMARAN and NAMA!

Student: Now I am also experiencing; at least to some extent; the vibrant quietude that has filled you! RAMA KARTA also must be implying the same; isn�t it?

Teacher: Yes! It also implies the same. Looking at it little differently; we are some specific �engines�, with some specific energies, specific powers, specific capacity and differing versatilities. This probably holds true for all living, nonliving and other possible entities inside and outside. During our primitive states of evolution and during embryonic life, childhood and even latter; we are not aware of this! That is phase of ignorance.
At some later time; appropriate for us; we become aware of ourselves as �we�! We get charged with our instincts, emotions, thinking, perspective; and some pursuit or another. We begin to be flooded with and enthralled by urges! The urges when in the unconscious realm simply keep manifesting; resulting into temporary pleasures or pains. When we are in conscious realm; the urges prompt us that; �we have to do it, we cannot do without it, we are doing it, we will do it; or we cannot do it�; and give us the associated pains and pleasures; and agonies and ecstasies! Thus our life gets unfolded in the form of all varieties of actions inside and outside.
At some time appropriate for us we realize that everything in our life and the universe is the supreme orchestra of our Guru, who is beyond time and consciousness. RAMA (Guru) and KARTA (the ultimate supreme master implies that)! He is the supreme controller every entity and every event in universe! We also realize that the increasing emergence of NAMASMARAN i.e. reorientation to NAMA i.e. Guru in our life; is His bounty, His Krupa!
We become increasingly grateful as we begin to get an increasing and pleasant assurance from Him that He is always; literally always; with us; nurturing and blossoming; us in as much as the whole universe!
By now; it must have been clear to you; that this is a matter of study, practice and experience; and not of casual or cursory belief or disbelief.

Student: Sir, I have begun to experience the victorious revitalization! I thank our Guru immensely and whole heartedly; for initiating, enlivening, empowering and enlightening me; to be involved in His greatest ever bounty viz. universal mega process of NAMASMARAN and Total Stress Management; through you!

NAMA, NAMASMARAN AND TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT (PART 26) DR SHRINIWAS J. KASHALIKAR

Student: What do you think about the future?

Teacher: As regards the future of NAMASMARAN; the inner prompting suggests that the practice of NAMASMARAN would spread in all the continents, nations, provinces, cities, villages, homes, institutions, industries, hospitals, farms and every nook and corner. Further; this practice would not be aimed at petty gains! It would be selfless and would blossom into holistic perspective, policies, plans and programs and their implementation! The spiritualism and materialism, theism and atheism would be culminated in holistic renaissance! Individualism and socialism would be culminated in; Self realization and SAMSHTI YOGA; respectively!� By SAMSHTI YOGA, I mean reorientation and reconnection of at least a vast majority with cosmic consciousness i.e. NAMA!

Student: How would this happen?

Teacher: Just as 75 trillion cells unite and live in unity, complementarity and harmony; by participating their own well being as well as homeostasis i.e. well being of all other cells in the individual; every person; from every nook and corner of the world; would participate simultaneously and inseparably; in his/her own well being as well as that of the others inhabiting the universe!

Student: This cannot be disputed; but appears to be very optimistic!

Teacher: It is optimistic and subjective too! Hence; having said all this; I have to add; that the real peace did not descend on me from this subjective vision; but it dawned over me from the more recent realization of the ultimate control of the uniting, underlying as well as controlling entity; investing the universe and the myriads of events and transactions in it viz. NAMA!

Student: What exactly do you mean?

Teacher: This is a realization of the universal control of the divine presence beyond human consciousness, beyond time and beyond space. It is the same; as Ishwar, Brahma, Purushottam, Paramatma, Guru, God, true self, cosmic consciousness, SACCHIDANANDA, the absolute truth; and the omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent reality, Mahakaran, the supreme controller, supreme orchestrator NAMA! It produces and destroys billions of events and things; ranging from cosmic phenomena, earth quakes, volcanic eruptions and tsunamis! The space and time are contingent in it! It produces, evolves and destroys the mass consciousness and mass conscience! It generates and destroys the colossal creativity, noblest thoughts, genuine feelings, burning passions and human behavior! It brings about the rise and fall of empires! It flares up wars and cataclysms; and it brings end of them and ushers in the peace! This NAMA �produces� the global mega process of orienting billions of us to it; through the practice of NAMASMARAN!

Student: How does this realization bring peace sir?

Teacher: That is a good question! This realization has given me a greater awareness that the process of NAMASMARAN going on for millennia; produces; myriads of concepts, ideas, revelations and motivations; including the concept of Total Stress Management ! Thus whatever we discussed are mere effects, functions, contingents or products of the supreme viz. NAMA!
I see clearly that neither the development nor the fate of Total Stress Management belong to me! Since I have no control on its development and its fate; the worry about its future and anxiety of every kind begins to disappear; and peace begins to prevail!
