DESIRE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
DESIRE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

The desire of individual and global welfare is born within; as a vague urge. It springs from within as an ambiguous upsurge! It is articulated and manifested in different ways; and through various activities.
But this desire of ours is never satisfied or fulfilled!
This is because; there is no distinct criterion or blue print of individual and global welfare that would be fully satisfactory! Hence we are never in a position to declare that “individual and global welfare” is achieved!
Should we accept failure in such a case?
No!
We should have patience.
Our desire actually gets initiated beyond our control; from the ultimate and supreme controller of the universe! He generates as well as designs; our desire as well as our actions; and He alone shapes the results; in terms of scope and limitations of our desire! This all; is according to His divine plan!
Through NAMASMARAN; all our finite and mortal existence; including “our desire of individual and global welfare, our activities and our achievements or otherwise” and also; our “not so noble urges and impulses”; merge with the immortal and infinite ocean of the nectar of NAMA, from where they emerge! This is really fulfilling!
This is Guru Krupa (bounty) or Guru Bhet (meeting); in as much as it is victory (VIJAY) of NAMA!

LIGHT: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
LIGHT: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Often we think that the present moment is miserable; because there is shortage of a certain amount of money, absence of a particular person or non availability of some substance we are habituated or addicted to! We also think that the present moment is miserable; if there is pain, fear, discomfort or disgust!

Actually this is because; at this particular moment we have forgotten and lost the track of NAMA! This is called NAMA VISMARAN! We are in a defeated state of mind! We are bogged down by the apparent scenario! We are frightened by the paper tigers! We are unable to see the supremacy of Guru; who is in control there; even in this situation; as in all other situations! This dark phase can be violent to self or others!

The grace of Guru (NAMA) empowers, enables and guides us repeatedly and brings us back on the right track; to walk on the road of NAMASMARAN, even if we lose it time and again!

NAMASMARAN; in the course of time; opens our inner eyes; and helps us to see loving and caring presence of our Guru irrespective of the apparent unlikable nature of the circumstance! It saves us from being succumbed to the apparent and deceptive) circumstances! We become fearless (in surrendering to our Guru, who is actually the supreme in every circumstance) and victorious; in every circumstance; and actually emanate divine influence as per the divine plan!

This victorious state is actually due to the victory (VJIAY) of the influence of NAMA (our Guru in true sense) on us!

COMMON ASPIRATION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
COMMON ASPIRATION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

One of the hallmarks of NAMAVIJAY is a revelation that our own innate aspiration is common to thousands of us; spread all over the world! What is this innate and common aspiration?
This innate aspiration or urge is that of merging with NAMA through NAMASMARAN!
Initially; these appear to be dry and sterile words!
But in the course of time; we begin to appreciate the unifying, harmonizing and benevolent impact of NAMASMARAN! We begin to appreciate the enchanting byproducts of NAMASMARAN viz. the increasing peace and freedom on the one hand; and the incoming holistic renaissance on the other! This reduces our hesitancy and makes us bold and brave!
In spite of being relatively new to NAMASMARAN; we are charged and possessed by the idea of practicing and promoting; with priority; NAMASMARAN and engender the eventual holistic renaissance!
It is amazing that in spite of nobody marketing it; NAMA enthralls the whole world and its SMARAN i.e. the activity of NAMASMARAN; becomes the global heart throb; a mega process!
People from every nook and corner of the world begin to get curious and inquisitive about the scope and potentials of NAMASMARAN; and the onset of holistic renaissance also called cosmic homeostasis!
This phenomenon is like a global spring! It encompasses the whole world! It is initiated by the ultimate truth, our Guru (NAMA); and it is triumphant (VIJAY)!

HRUDGAT: (A Heart to Heart Dialogue with newly admitted Medical Students) Dr. Shriniwas J. Kashalikar,
HRUDGAT: (A Heart to Heart Dialogue with newly admitted Medical Students)
Dr. Shriniwas J. Kashalikar,

GURURBRAHMA GURURVISHNU:
GURURDEVO MAHESHVARA:
GURU: SAKSHAT PARABRAHMA TASMAI SHRI GURAVE NAMA:
I salute my Guru, who is Brahma, Vishnu and Mahesh called Gunamaya i.e. the penultimate truth; and the Parabrahma; i.e. the ultimate truth.

Teacher: Dear friends! Hearty welcome to this prestigious and ambitious institute of medical sciences and research center! Medical career is crucial to health, happiness and progress of an individual as well as the society.
Students: Thank you very much sir! Sir, what is your advice for us; as the beginners in the medical career?
Teacher: The advice is simple! Make the most of life you may; life is short and wears away! Life is very precious! Make use of it to the best of your capacity! This is true for every one of us, but especially for you all, who are young, full of energy and full of dreams and aspirations! This is a great opportunity to express your vitality and potentials in a creative and constructive way and blossom together!
Students: Sir, are there any practical suggestions?
Teacher: Yes! The first and the foremost; is to keep meeting and interacting with your teachers, other staff members and colleagues. Ask questions and share your difficulties and problems! We all are at your service. In short, help us to help you. Let us all progress happily and together!
Students: Sir, but we often feel shy!
Teacher: That is natural. But the best way to; overcome shyness is to begin somewhere to open up and be bold! Many of you already seem to be bold! This way; you would enjoy every moment of your life here; and would never repent!
Students: Sir, we have apprehension about hostel life!
Teacher: Being away from your family you may be uncomfortable initially. There could be some problems regarding the food and day to day requirements also. But you are sure to get new friends, well wishers and caring people around; during your hostel life, which would make you comfortable and there would be improvement on other fronts also! Everybody here is busy in making your life better in every way!
Students: We have heard that the medical career is tough!
Teacher: Medical career is not very easy but it is rewarding in every possible way! Moreover; we all are here to make it easier and enjoyable! In fact; everybody here is busy in the mission of blossoming together and to groom you into excellent medical graduates!
Students: Is there any practical way to make this career easier?
Teacher: Well! One simple but important thing is to buy a Medical Dictionary. When you start understanding the medical terms, the medical subjects become not only easier but also; more enjoyable. It is essential to also buy English into Marathi (or your language) dictionary; if you already don not have one. This makes it further easier as well as interesting. This is essential even as the teachers keep trying to explain everything in your language, besides English!
Students: What about our daily conduct?
Teacher: You are all cultured and good students. You know the value of being moderate; in eating, sleeping, exercise, sports, extracurricular activities; and above all; respecting yourself and the others! Moreover you need to be disciplined and punctual so as to improve your efficiency.
Students: Sir, many of us have fear of failures!
Teacher: It is true that some students take longer time than others to cope up with the studies. But in case of fear of failure as well as actual failure; you should seek the support/guidance without any hesitation; from your teachers. They are always eager to help you.
Secondly; always remember that irrespective of failure; there is enormous potential in all of you! You can come out of even the worst situation and achieve the best! (Of course; this does not mean that you should be complacent, reckless or careless)!
Students: Sir, what should be our ideal?
Teacher: I think, our deal should be; individual and universal blossoming!
Students: Can you elaborate on this?
Teacher: This ideal is incorporated in the following Sanskrit verse from the great text book of Ayurvedic Medicine; Ashtanga Hridaya (The core of the eight aspects of Ayurveda); by the great genius Wagbhat.
BHISHAJAM SADHUVRUTTANAM
BHADRAM AGAMSHALINAM
ABHYASTA KARMANAM BHADRAM
BHADRAM BHADRABHILASHINAM
Roughly; this means:
Blessed be the doctor/healer, who is well behaved, who is well versed with complete science of healing, who has achieved expertise and skills in clinical practice and research; and above all; who yearns individual and universal blossoming!
Students: This is really inspiring! Can you elaborate further; sir?
Teacher: In short, BHISHAJA: SADHUVRUTTANAM BHADRAM AGAMSHALINAM means; blessed be he/she, who studies human life, suffering and the preventive, curative and rehabilitative ways; from different angles and varied approaches.
Students: Do you mean that we have to study Ayurveda, Homoeopathy etc also?
Teacher: All the systems of Medicine are not included in the present curriculum Further, in a limited time frame; it may not be possible to study different systems of Medicine. But it is good to keep mind open; and get introduced to the principles of different systems as an extracurricular activity; and try to appreciate the interdisciplinary complementarity in healing and the health promotion. For this, it is important to get rid of our subjectivity, sectarian attitude and prejudices; and be as much objective as possible. The unbiased, unprejudiced and impartial nature and purity and innocence of heart are essential for accurate learning and appropriate decision making in medical career, even though this is true for other fields also.
Students: How to be objective?
Teacher: The best way to be objective; is to practice NAMASMARAN, more about which you can find in my books and articles available for free download on internet.
Students: What is ABHYASTA KARMANAM BHADRAM?
Teacher: Blessed be the one, who undergoes necessary training in techniques of prevention, examinations, investigations, treatment, rehabilitation and research.
Students: This is easy to understand. What is the meaning of BHADRAM BHADRABHILASHINAM?
Teacher: BHADRAM BHADRABHILASHINAM means; blessed be he/she, who yearns for individual and universal blossoming!
Students: Thank you sir! We appreciate this. But don’t you think that in this world of cut throat competition; we would be failures if we pursue such “noble” and probably “unrealistic and impractical” ideals?
Teacher: This is really an honest and frank question! Actually, we are trapped in cut throat competition and chaotic, confused and illusory pursuit of mirages! It is deceptive! Hence whether successful or otherwise, most of us are unhappy and hence add to the unhappiness of others! Most of us are disturbed and add to the disturbance of others! Most of us are under stress and add to the stress of others! This is a vicious cycle!
On the other hand; the pursuit “individual and universal blossoming” sets in a wellness cycle! It is like nurturing roots of the “life tree” of which we are a part. It is full proof and infallible!
In the present rat race; whether we succeed or fail, we land up becoming maniac or failures or suicidal; respectively. This is detrimental to us and/or others!
In the pursuit of individual and universal blossoming; we are sure to be in “win win” situation and increasingly fulfilled and never repent!
Students: Please elaborate; how this pursuit would be beneficial to us as well as the society.
Teacher: This pursuit embodies the natural principle of homeostasis, in which every constituent part nurtures the whole system and vice versa. Thus it involves contribution of every individual from different fields of life; to the health and happiness of the society as a whole, which in turn ensures the blossoming of different fields and the individuals therein!
Today; this happens to some extent; as a consequence of ongoing holistic evolution (and not merely biological evolution) by virtue of the spiritual legacy of our great and enlightened ancestors! But this would happen far more extensively if, we, the would be doctors, doctors, industrialists, agriculturists, engineers, artists, scientists, bureaucrats, politicians and so on; are increasingly freed; from tubularity of vision, sectarian attitude, fragmented thinking, fanatic tendencies, bigotry, prejudices, rigid biases, petty selfishness, and vested interests.
Students: But how to get freed from these?
Teacher: As I said earlier the simplest and universally accepted way (which I know) to conquer the subjectivity and pettiness of every kind; and be increasingly objective and broad, is the practice of NAMASMARAN.
Students: What is the meaning of NAMASMARAN? Can you please tell more?
Teacher: NAMASMARAN (From Sanskrit: Name = a (divine) name; smaran = remembrance); means remembering the name of God, which implies the true self, either loudly or silently. This is called jaap, jap, jikra in Hindi and Urdu respectively. It is also called simaran and sumiran.

NAMASMARAN; by virtue of its almost universal acceptability, simplicity, non-technicality and inexpensiveness; is the key to individual and universal blossoming i.e. Total Stress Management, irrespective of age, sex, occupation, socioeconomic stratum, race, religion, culture, ideology, nationality and other variables! This is especially so, because; NAMASMARAN does not involve any stringent rules, coercive regulations or crippling bindings. It does not interfere with the customs or belief systems.
NAMASMARAN, which is focusing on NAMA, gradually frees us from our individualistic and selfish shackles and reorients us to our own true selves. It revitalizes and rejuvenates us and catalyzes the evolution and implementation of holistic perspective, policies, plans, programs and achieve individual and universal blossoming!
This embodies SATPRERANA, SADDHARANA, SADVICHAR, SADBHAVANA, SATPRAVRUTTI, SADVASANA, , SADICCHA, SATSHAKTI, SATSANKALP AND SATKARMA or SADACHAR.
Students: Will you please explain these terms further?
Teacher: Yes! It is interesting as well as essential to understand them! PRERANA is the inspiration and SATPRERANA is the inspiration to realize truth. DHARANA is the conviction and SATDHARANA implies the conviction in the truth. VICHAR is thinking and SADVICHAR means thinking that enables us to realize the truth. BHAVANA is feeling and SADBHAVANA is the totality of our feelings, which lifts us to reach the truth! PRAVRUTTI is convergence of our inclinations, aptitudes, fixations; and SATPRAVRUTTI is; this bent of our mind to realize truth. VASANA means instincts. SADVASANA means the evolving and directing the array of our passions, to merge with truth! ICCHHA means desire and SADICCHHAA is a convergence of all desires in realizing truth. SHAKTI means power and SATSHAKTI is the power - the might involved in SADACHAR. SANKALP means synthesis and crystallization of our perspective, thoughts, feelings and instincts into a specific well defined pursuit and SATSANKALP means directing this towards individual and universal blossoming inherent to the realization of truth! KARMA means action and SATKARMA reorienting every different activity reaching us to to truth. ACHAR means transactions and SADACHAR means the transactions in different fields; at personal, family and social level, conducive to merging with truth (called NAMA by the practitioners of NAMASMARAN)!
Students: This appears promising!
Teacher: The practice of NAMASMARAN is a life line in every circumstance and forever! The best of everything in the world and of course; in the medical world; springs from the blissful enlightenment inherent to NAMASMARAN and in turn; culminates into it as well!
For example, in the pursuit of this ideal; if you become a health minister, then the whole nation would be healthier and happier; by virtue of your holistic perspective, policies, plans, programs and their implementation! The healthier and happier nation in turn, would provide all the needs to every individual in different fields of life; including you, for healthier and happier life. In such a case; won’t the parents, teachers and alma mater be satisfied and proud of you? Won’t they cherish your legendary association with them? Hence this HRUDGAT is the best gift we can offer you; on this memorable occasion! I would however request you not to accept or reject this HRUDGAT casually; but verify it for yourself!
Before ending; it may be noted that, over 45 books, 600 articles and 200 videos in English, Hindi and Marathi on physiology, health, stress management and NAMASMARAN; written and demonstrated by Dr. Shriniwas Janardan Kashalikar are available for free download on internet on; over 300 free sharing international websites including

SATISFACTION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
SATISFACTION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Many of us feel proud if we are able to give money, shelter, food, medical aid and such help to others. Many of us feel proud if we are able to govern people or control people. Many of us feel proud if we are popular and if we could entertain people or endow people with satisfaction of one kind or another!
But this satisfaction is temporary and not complete.
There is always a sense of incompletion. Why is this so?
This is because; the ultimate satisfaction is associated with the pursuit of fulfilling the innate urge! What is this innate urge? This innate urge without the pursuit of which, we cannot be fully satisfied, is called self realization. The practical implication of self realization is; being in NAMASMARAN, which means remembrance of the name of God.
Interestingly; our pursuit; of this innate, ultimate, but often subconscious urge; empowers and enables others also; to practice promote and get involved in the global mega process of NAMASMARAN and be on the path of ultimate satisfaction!
This understanding that reinforces and consolidates the process of individual and universal blossoming; is not our personal victory but the victory (VIJAY) of our innate core and the ultimate truth NAMA!

VALUE OF BHAKTI: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
VALUE OF BHAKTI: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Through years of NAMASMARAN one realizes that:
Bhakti is an experience which is like fruition in case of a tree. It cannot be experienced by voluntary efforts!

It is an entirely personal experience and possibly cannot be even imagined by others! It can be expressed, but indirectly and only partially, in words. This is why bhakti is an immensely misunderstood phenomenon.

It appears to be a whim, a fancy or some kind of fad of an individual. It often appears paranormal. It appears useless or even counterproductive, in view of the day to day problems and rational approach to them.

But in reality, bhakti is the sign of the ultimate culmination of the holistic evolution of an individual. It is the pinnacle of human development!

Why do we say so?

Because, unlike most of our subjective feelings and their limited role in life, bhakti is an experience which is the objective source of revitalization for the whole universe! Bhakti is nothing else but the phenomenon of the flow of universal blessing through an individual for the rejuvenation of the entire universe forever!

BEING NISHKAMA: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
BEING NISHKAMA: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Being NISHKAMA appears to be painful, as we are usually under the impression that presence of KAMA and fulfillment of KAMA are the integral to life and life without KAMA and fulfillment of KAMA is actually vanity.

Knowingly or unknowingly we are repeatedly dragged in painful pessimism because of the triviality of our individuality and its utterly unnoticeable achievements in personal or social life; from the state of excitement and arrogance in our petty success! Strangely, neither we are freed from the desires nor are we satisfied by the fulfillment of the desires!

However; in the course of time; NAMASMARAN i.e. remembering NAMA is automatically associated with the fulfilling appreciation of the universal, eternal and victorious benevolence of NAMA! This fulfilling appreciation is so powerful that our desires and expectations i.e. KAMA, which are usually associated with our trivial activities, literally get dissolved in it! This is called VAIRAGYA SHRIMANTI or VAIRAGYA VAIBHAV, which means supreme richness of being NISHKAMA or being completely selfless!

This is why, the key to individual and universal blossoming, is NAMASMARAN!

MYSTERY OF DEVOTION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
MYSTERY OF DEVOTION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

We are often desperate to spread our conviction about NAMA and NAMASMARAN!

Why is this so?

This is because, even as we are convinced for years together that NAMASMARAN is the key to individual and universal blossoming, we do not have the experience of 1) the continuous universal grace of NAMA, 2) the ecstatic romance involved in NAMASMARAN and 3) most importantly its supreme and pivotal role in individual and universal blossoming.

But at some point in time, we get the glimpse of the universal grace of NAMA, 2) the ecstatic romance involved in NAMASMARAN and 3) most importantly the supreme and pivotal role of this romance in individual and universal blossoming.

At this point, we are “promoted” to the status of being romantically involved in NAMASMARAN, from the status of “understanding its importance; and practicing and spreading it”!

With this promotion we feel happy that we could practice and spread NAMASMARAN without being disheartened, cynical, indolent and escapist about it! We feel happy in the realization that while we are promoted to the status of being romantically involved in NAMASMARAN, the spread of the importance of NMASMARAN is actually multiplied, by the divine hand, without us being apparently involved in it!

We begin to get freed from our obsession, as we become aware of the infinitely more powerful mighty hand of God involved in universalization of NAMASMARAN!

NAMA EVA JAYATE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
NAMA EVA JAYATE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

We have all heard about SATYAMEVA JAYATE. It means absolute truth is always victorious!

Recently Indian government launched a program called SHRAMEVA JAYATE. It means efforts are always victorious!

In the first instance; since absolute truth is a mystery for most of us; its victory does not make much sense in practical terms; to us!

In the second instance; though SHRAMA is very well known to most of us; its victory; ij practical terms; is really doubtful to most of us!

However both are found to be precisely correct and also complementary; if we look in the matter keenly!

The tangible aspect of absolute truth; is NAMA and the subtlest aspect of SHRAMA connecting us to the absolute truth; is remembering the absolute truth – NAMA; i.e. NAMASMARAN!

The ultimate truth, which is beyond space, time and even our consciousness; is the same as NAMA! This ultimate truth - NAMA - has blessed the universe with the privilege of NAMASMARAN! This globally benevolent blessing is a victory of NAMA and hence this is NAMAVIJAY! Hence it would be appropriate to say NAMA is always victorious i.e. NAMA EVA JAYATE!
