STRESS AND INTERNATIONALISM: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Stress is not a problem restricted to one particular field. It is not merely medical, psychological, economic or political problem. It is multifactorial problem with ubiquitous causes and pandemic and global spread. It is a problem that has been nurtured and contributed by different fields of life and has in turn eroded all the fields of life!

If we consider the world to be a pot of water, then stress is like virulent bacteria being added to it from every nook and corner; in turn spreading toxicity to every nook and corner of the container.

This is why; the Total Stress Management and nothing short of it; is inevitable for optimal results. The Total Stress Management involves blossoming at individual and universal levels through holistic perspective, holistic policy making, holistic planning and holistic administration at individual, local, national and global levels in different fields of life.

Total Stress Management, which is individual and universal blossoming; is truly international and never against the welfare of any race, religion, culture, nation, state, province, district, city, town or village and most importantly an individual!

However; we all have human weaknesses. We all tend to look for escape from problems or short cuts. Hence we look for ad hoc, temporary, symptomatic, palliative, sectarian and piecemeal solutions. So we get engaged in various activities and movements for justice.

Whether they provide temporary relief at individual, local and national levels, or not; they need not be condemned or justified. We all do get at some time or other; some idiosyncratic, fanatic and extremist frenzies and upsurges; with petty and vested interests; centered around our individual, family, group, caste, creed, race, language, region, religion, nation and culture.

They need to be corrected, and dissolved into global holistic renaissance; to overcome; their disruptive influence on the global fabric of human civilization, which perpetuates fulminant stress in global, national, local, domestic and individual life.

Some holistic solutions are discussed in my books on Total Stress Management (the core of which is NAMASMARAN); and thousands of more effective solutions are bound to emerge from experts in different fields; and bring about holistic renaissance i.e. individual and universal blossoming.
