STRESS, SUPERLIVING AND SPIRITUALISM: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
The chasm between apparently sublime and intellectually appealing philosophical doctrines; and the nagging material conditions around; is a matter of inexplicable and unbearable STRESS; to many of us who are; sensitive, intelligent and hence concerned about justice to every individual; and welfare of all!
The ideas of heaven, nirvana, self realization, god realization, emancipation and so on; lure many young individuals amongst us, but they get disillusioned or go on persisting on it; helplessly!
Like spiritualism, the practice of NAMASMARAN also; has not appealed adequately; to the people in the world. Though billions are practicing namasmaran, many of them are not convinced enough; and billions others are not practicing! This is because; they neither experience divine bliss; nor witness any substantial and concrete material progress in social life.
Superliving is nothing else but, actually reunification of spiritualism and materialism. It is the process of holistic perception, feelings and actions; in terms of global perspective, policies, plans and implementation at individual, family and social level; born out of NAMASMARAN; and achieving holistic renaissance i.e. individual and universal blossoming!

STRESS AND OUR HOME: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

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.

TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT AND DIVORCE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT AND DIVORCE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
We are taught to stand, walk, jump, run, talk, read, write and many skills! But we are not inspired and guided to know and be ourselves! If we ponder over this; a bit seriously; then we would be convinced about it. In fact we don’t seem to realize that such inspiration and guidance; is even needed!
One of the effects of such lack of training; is the discord between husband and wife. When it becomes unbearable; it leads to divorce.
Barring the cases of perversions and criminality; most cases divorces are due to defeatist, escapist and hysterical pampering by us; of our ego. When our ego, pettiness and “illusion of freedom”; create the discord; and when our true self, conscience, selflessness, tolerance and love; are defeated, we resort to divorce; even if it comes to suffering; of our once beloved spouse, children and other near and dear ones.
But worse thing is; there is glorification and deification of divorce. This is a submission to our egocentric, inconsiderate and pathetic pettiness.
If we know and be “ourselves”, then we would never cherish divorce. Healthier and happier family life is one of the hallmarks of holistic renaissance (also called Total Stress Management or superliving) realized primarily; through the universal practice of NAMASMARAN.

STRESS AND INTROSPECTION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

STRESS AND INTROSPECTION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
STRESS can cause the triggering of introspection and introspection can uncover the hidden STRESS. If we introspect; then STRESS appears to increase with aging. This may be also because aging is associated with retirement and hence scarcity of resources and abundance of time creating mental vacuum.
The guides in print and electronic media; on fitness, home remedies, diet, exercise, yogasanas, entertainment, hobbies and charitable activities are in plenty. The guidance in all these is valuable and helps many of us in overcoming STRESS.
Thus many of us try to improve health, avoid disease, preserve independence, develop fitness, enhance performance, stamina, flexibility, power, speed, coordination, physical form, looks etc. and also engage in philanthropy and conquer the stress.
They take regular bath, eat green leafy vegetables and sprouted beans and other nutritionally rich foods, drink cow milk with halad [turmeric] and sunth [dried ginger], practice pranayama and some exercises and yogasanas, joyously entertain themselves and others through their hobbies, do lot of philanthropic work and also practice NAMASMARAN, i.e. remembering the name of God and try to defeat stress!
But having said this in appreciation; we have to introspect; why the efforts required urgently; for a holistic perspective, policies and their implementation; for conquest of stress are still inadequate!
Is it because the holistic perspective, policy making and its implementation have not become the convictions of a huge majority of us?
Why do majority of us tend to think in a sectarian and fragmented manner, especially when they are not criminals, vicious or bad as such?
Is it because the holistic perspective is not being studied, understood, assimilated, promoted and propagated adequately?
Why is this so?
Do most of us think and feel that holistic perspective, policies, programs, plans and their implementation; appears to be unrelated to the basic needs of life?
What is the reason for such unawareness about even the need of understanding, practice and propagation of holistic perspective, policies, plans, programs and their implementation?
Why is there such a dearth of motivation amongst apparently intelligent, kind hearted and well meaning people amongst us?
Is the reason hidden in our ego, our passionate involvement in our subjective self identity, our strong and selective sentiments about our own bodily, emotional, intellectual and other considerations?
Does our ego prevent us from zealously acquiring and sharing the objective wisdom?
Do we tend to remain content or unhappy in our egoistic subjective “achievements” or “failures” respectively?
Are we unable to see the benevolence of objective wisdom, because of undue judgmental attitude; about the personal “shortcomings or drawbacks” of the proponents of holistic perspective?
Are we unable to rise above our relationship/s and prejudices, centered on ego?
Do we; more often than not; ridicule and oppose; actively or passively and overtly or covertly; and knowingly or unknowingly; such efforts of sharing objective or holistic wisdom; and boost the ego centered sectarian and retrogressive forces?
Do we infect the others also; with our cynicism?
Is it true that frequently our ego is associated with; not merely our material success in terms of popularity, power or prosperity; but even our egalitarianism, righteousness, austerity and our practice of NAMASMARAN?
Are we unable to penetrate and rise above the “clouds of our ego” and enjoy the “sky of universal unity”?
Is it because we are unable “see” and/or even strive for; the beauty beyond the ego?
Is it because we do not try to realize; the role of holistic and objective wisdom born out of NAMASMARAN; in rejuvenating, revitalizing and reorienting us to our true self?
Can we not appreciate the role of realization of true self and its expression for individual and global blossoming; the part of which is conquest of stress?
The only answer to these questions; appears to be that; the quantum and the intensity of NAMASMARAN and being oriented to the true self; or the center of cosmic consciousness; or the center of universe; has yet to reach the optimal point; for successfully conquering stress; through holistic perspective, policies, programs, planning and implementation at individual and global levels; in everyday life!

STRESS OF PROPAGANDA: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

STRESS OF PROPAGANDA: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
There is always; a propaganda of something or other.
But often the loud, crude, aggressive and imposing propaganda; or repetitive, cheap and/or vulgar advertising comes on nerves. It irritates and upsets; and in this sense; is counterproductive.
This holds true irrespective of the object of propaganda. Hence; this is not with reference; merely to the commercial products; but also; with respect to commercial, professional or even charity services.
Why is this so?
It appears that this happens if we freedom lovers. We hate anything that strangles our freedom to live in ‘our natural way’. We love to follow our instinct or our inner voice. We love if we have situation that enhances listening to our inner voice.
The loud and cheap propaganda; create a cacophony and blur our inner voice!
Thus; the propaganda of NAMASMARAN also; if it is cheap and imposing; can come on our nerves. What is required is; a peaceful and harmonious environment (through provision of adequate and selfless information) that allows us; to contemplate and ponder on; nature of NAMA; and to sink into the universally benevolent spirit of NAMASMARAN; and make a choice of verifying it!
In conclusion; the practice of NAMASMARAN; is unquestionably vital and far more important than the impulsive propaganda. This is because; the practice of NAMASMARAN creates a blissful atmosphere that indirectly inspires others; without restricting their freedom; to practice NAMASMARAN and blossom together!
