WHAT IS SUPERLIVING? DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

From early childhood to ripe old age we are always in dilemma of making a right choice!

Millions of dilemmas such as which toy to play with, which partner to bond with, which seeds to sow, which shares to invest, which leader to trust, which guru to follow, which policies to adopt; get loaded in our lives!

The nature of dilemmas thus varies at different age and in different situations.

SUPERLIVING is a continuous, unending and yet fulfilling expedition of increasing the percentage of right choices; that enhances individual and global blossoming inspite of opposing forces inside and outside!

Apart from the holistic perspective, policies, plans and programs; the central core of the expedition of SUPERLIVING is; the universalization of; the golden opportunity to practice NAMASMARAN; right from early childhood.

BEYOND STRESS IN NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

The arts, science, business, skills and such many human endeavors are ultimately traceable to the absolute or cosmic consciousness in every heart.

But the only activity that springs directly from and merges directly into; or is rather inseparable from the absolute/cosmic consciousness; is NAMASMARAN.

NAMASMARAN; gives us the fulfillment; which is impossible; by anything else. The fulfillment of NAMASMARAN is truly far more and permanent than the temporary fulfillment we get from romantic excitement, material achievement, or realization of some ambition, dream or aspiration.

I was not convinced about this; till I actually experienced. For instance; I felt that if more people read, understand, appreciate and bring into practice the ideas of total stress management, then individual and global blossoming would soon follow and my dream would be fulfilled. As a result, I made many compromises, which I otherwise would not.

But in the course practice of NAMASMARAN it became clear that; the writing on the wall; by virtue of it being the will of the cosmic wisdom; would come true; irrespective of whether the people are “able to”, or “oblige to” read and whether they appreciate my views! This sublime and ecstatic experience literally took me beyond this kind of stress; while simultaneously multiplying the zeal and zest!
This is the “non material” and hence “non tangible” “fruit” or “gain” of NAMASMARAN that is beyond one’s expectation!
When Gita asks us to work without expectation of fruit, she implies that our action (and not the fruit) determines the merit of our life. The result or fruit can ensue after extremely variable time; and cannot be qualified or quantified, especially if it is like the “fruit” of NAMASMARAN!
Thus the “fruit” of NAMASMARAN; while taking us beyond the stress caused by the “burden of a mission”; endows us with unconditioned solace, dignity, security, and fulfillment; irrespective of internal and external surroundings!

STRESS AND HISTORY: DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR


As we are in impressionable at school age, many facts from history, which we read and learn, leave deep impressions on our mind. These impressions often can grow into prejudices, bitterness, bigotry, hatred, rivalry, fanaticism, unrest and riots.

Thus though it may appear ironic; the inappropriate learning of history becomes a cause of severe stress in personal and social life.

This is partly because the information is incorrect, appropriate or of the ambiguous in terms of values taught.

If the history books are studded with photographs and details of invader emperors, while the freedom fighters and saints are totally neglected, then it would foist the value of slavery amongst some and fury in others.

One of the examples of is; theory of “Aryan invasion” that surreptiously nurtures division of India into “indigenous dravids” and “alien invader Aryans!

Another example ambiguity of values; is that of the praise for invaders; in the same vein as the freedom fighters and glorification of the violent activities in the same vein as the nonviolent activities!

In view of the stress that results in personal life and social life, it is imperative to first be holistic, objective and unprejudiced and understand history. This way; we can explain the history to liberate from the past animosities, preempt the stress; and blossom together!

One of the simple, inexpensive, traditional and universal ways of being holistic, objective and unprejudiced; is the practice and propagation of NAMASMARAN.
