ANGER MANAGEMENT: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Anger is a strange phenomenon! We like it as well as we hate it!
Thus; we feel; though we may not overtly say it; that anger is a sign of liveliness, heroism and even divinity. Thus; we find that anger against injustice, oppression, exploitation, fanaticism, barbarism, inequality, is directly or indirectly; not only justified; but actually adored!
But having said that; we read several examples where anger is condemned and loathed! Thus; the anger that leads to hatred, vengeance, revenge, indiscriminate violence, terrorism and other malicious crimes; is abhorred!
In short; anger is like electricity, which if properly channellized serves constructive purpose and if short circuited, leads to hazards.
If and when the anger within us erupts uncontrollably like a volcano; it manifests in indiscriminate violence in our speech, writing, physical behavior and other transactions. Thus in a spur of moment we may shout, abuse some one in public interview, write harsh letters or articles, physically assault some one, file a suit in a court of law, or actually go further and get involved in worse sociopathic activities.
Thus; if our anger is not managed properly, our otherwise selfless and divine anger against injustice, oppression, exploitation, crimes, corruption etc; may turn into indiscriminate violence against self or the other innocent people at home or in the society. I need not give examples; as they are too obvious.
If our anger related to personal matters, is not managed properly; then we may lose friends, may get distanced from our parents or children, or may get isolated as asocial individuals in the society. We may turn into antisocial or criminal elements in the society and may also; have to be convicted, jailed and punished in accordance with the gravity of the bout of our anger!
Is it not true that we often repent because of unleashing a violent bout of anger on our parents, children, friends or spouse? Mismanaged anger is a source of “avoidable pain, agony and misery” for self and others.
Having seen these hazards of mismanaged anger; it is obvious that anger management is extremely important and essential. We have to mange anger properly so that we or the others; don’t have to suffer and/or repent.
Let us realize that the anger; can not be eradicated. To a greater or lesser extent; it is going to be with us for ever. Hence we should not keep trying to be free from anger! Our anger has to be transformed into objective and benevolent force.
How can we achieve this?
Many steps are described in “SUPERLIVING”; (available on 175 international websites for free download) which lead to; culmination of; every metabolic, endocrine and nervous activity responsible for anger; into “most fulfilling; holistic perspective, thinking, feelings and behavior conducive to individual and universal blossoming!
One may not believe in this but verify oneself!

STRESS AND LAWS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Thursday, 23rd February 2012
STRESS AND LAWS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
The stress is universal. It is ubiquitous. It is natural. It is inseparable from life. However; if it is not managed properly then it becomes detrimental to individual and global blossoming and even survival. Hence it has to be managed properly.
Stress has been managed in many ways for millennia. The ways of stress management have been changing as the life and the nature of stress have been changing. Since the nature of life is vast and complex the nature of stress is also vast and complex.
Hence the traditions, customs, conventions, commandments, decrees, laws, rules, regulations, administration, etiquettes and manners; on the one hand; and scientific inventions, discoveries, artistic creations and other modes of elevating, exhilarating, entertaining, consoling and soothing life; on the other; have limitations in terms of stress management (even though they have contributed tremendously in stress management; in the past)!
All these ways of stress management however; can be more accurate and effective; in individual and global blossoming (TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT or SUPERLIVING) if they spring from SADHANA (efforts to realize true self); and are coordinated and orchestrated in accordance.
The SADHANA of self realization i.e. merging with; or actually “being the true self” or “being the cosmic consciousness”; enables us to express the enlightenment in every walk of life. These are; the religious and spiritual traditions, customs, conventions, commandments, decrees, laws, rules, regulations, administration, etiquettes, manners, scientific inventions, discoveries, artistic creations and arts; in short; evolving the environment; and bring about blossoming of one and all!
Which is the best SADHANA today?
NAMASMARAN!
But how and why is this not happening even as millions are practicing NAMASMARAN?”
The answer is;
It is true that thousands of people are practicing NAMASMARAN and many of them probably are one with cosmic consciousness and are expressing their enlightenment in various walks of life.
But this is still NOT enough!
The practice of NAMASMARAN has to be really universal and continue to be so; so that the laws, rules, conventions etc governing the universal life (the evolving environment); spring from self realization and become conducive to self realization.
In absence of such universal NAMASMARAN SADHANA; there is imposition of many laws, which are coercive, restrictive, throttling, suffocating and create hindrance to individual and global blossoming on the one hand; and facilitate fiery outbursts against such laws in the form of crimes and violent movements.
Further there is delay and avoidance of laws conducive to individual and global blossoming!
The laws and rules; regarding education, health, agriculture, industries and so on; if born from self realization and conducive to self realization i.e. individual and global blossoming; i.e Total Stress Management; would be for example; as follows:
1. NAMASMARAN be a core of in all types of training and education all over the universe.
2. Holistic health be conceptualized and taught at all the levels; as physical, instinctual, emotional, intellectual states and actions conducive to individual and global blossoming.
3. Holistic medicine be conceptualized as “All that aids in the insight of diagnosis, prognosis and prevention of disease and promotion of holistic health; is medicine" and taught at all the levels.
4. Holistic education be conceived as; all the increasing enlightenment and empowerment of an individual; to contribute to “self and global blossoming”; and be introduced right from the beginning of education.
Further; it would incorporate the productive element e.g. plantation, agriculture, horticulture, vermiculture, sericulture; and/or service element e.g. stitching, wiring, winding, carpentry, plumbing!
5. Holistic education must include condemnation and discrediting of the disastrous and dangerous models of “individualistic and progress” that includes; e.g. unabated felling of trees, excessive production and marketing of personal transport vehicles and barbaric and brutal slaughtering of animals!
6. Laws would discourage production of vehicles of individual transport and promote the production and marketing of the vehicles of public transport.
7. Stepwise ban on the slaughters; while simultaneously promoting production, marketing, supply and availability of several vegetarian options.
8. The “national and global progress” be measured or assessed from parameters of individual and global blossoming and NOT per capita income, GDP, number of mobile phones, TVs, computers, flyovers, two wheelers, four wheelers, five star hotels and so on.
We should not merely believe, disbelieve, imagine, conjecture, or theorize casually; and avoid premature presumptions, prejudices, liking, acceptance, disliking, rejection or respect etc and overcome uncertainty, dilemma, indecision, wavering, and vacillations!
In stead; we should provisionally accept and actually study and practice the contents of TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT and verify for ourselves.

STRESS: THE FIRE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Thursday, 23rd February 2012
STRESS: THE FIRE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
The fire is called AGNI in Sanskrit. In Ayurveda the AGNI in a living person is attributed great importance. In short; the natural locations of AGNI and its appropriate behavior in these locations is vitally important for physical and mental health.
It is interesting to understand that we all have trillions of cells where the fire is ablaze! This fire is burning continuously! It is associated with thousands of metabolic activities, hormonal activities, neural activities and changes in sensation (perception), homeostatic responses (feelings) and response (behavior).
When this fire ceases to operate; life ends.
But this same fire is associated with the conscious or subconscious restlessness or stress; that embodies physical, instinctual, emotional and intellectual needs, motivation to fulfill those needs and actions! Hence life is inevitably associated with stress; the fire!
The plants and animals live without freedom to consciously control the fire within them. But we the human beings have such freedom! The evolution and expression of this freedom is precisely; what is stress management.
Further; we the human beings can “see” and “experience” the unity and continuity in universe. Hence; we understand and appreciate that; mere attempts to control the fire in an individual is met with failure. This is why; we get charged with the urge, motivation and freedom to regulate the fire within the universe for individual and global blossoming. This is precisely what is Total Stress Management or superliving!
Let us understand that elimination or eradication of stress is not only impossible; but disastrous and suicidal.
The logical culmination of the stress inseparable from life; is the experience of immortal unity of; the seen and unseen universe; and called LIBERATION, MUKTI or NIRVANA.
The ongoing activity in pursuit of this; constituted the earlier form of Total Stress Management or superliving! They have been central in the human civilization for millennia.
When the question of “Why should we participate in the Total Stress Management or superliving” arises; the answer is; “For our own sake”!
NAMASMARAN (the core of Total Stress Management), which is remembering our true SELF; according to our traditions and religious beliefs; as explained extensively in several of my books; therefore has not only to be practiced, but propagated triumphantly, for our own blossoming in as much as that of the others!

HOLISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF CORRUPTION
Posted by on Thursday, 23rd February 2012
HOLISTIC UNDERSTANDING OF CORRUPTION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
The word, corruption is used so extensively and in so many contexts that it’s definition, meaning, significance, causes, mechanisms, dimensions, effects and Total Management have become increasingly complex, ambiguous and obscure!
The corruption; of the political, religious, intellectual, industrial and other leaders in world; can promote and boost the corruption of (besides their stooges and supporters); any individual; in any and every part of the world; and vice verse.
Corruption is usually and wrongly equated with mere financial scams, bribing, kick backs; which constitute “the visible fraction of the iceberg of corruption”!
Hence; let us study the basic concept of corruption!
Actually the corruption and the enormous STRESS produced by it are as ubiquitous as life and the consciousness!
Corruption embodies; degradation of one’s perspective, thoughts, feelings and actions; being influenced by and influencing; the surroundings either consciously or subconsciously; and either knowingly or unknowingly!
Corrupt Perspective
Perspective is like the space of consciousness! Thus the normalcy of this “space” of consciousness i.e. perspective; is being universal! The degree of restriction of that “space of consciousness” i.e. perspective; determines the degree of the suffocation and throttling of consciousness, marking the beginning of stress and corruption!
Thus; the restriction of the space of consciousness (perspective) constitutes separation from nature, world, countries, religions, regions, provinces, sects, linguistic groups, castes, communities, creeds, sects and even our own family and from our true self and embodies corruption and stress!
This disease of corrupted perspective is subtle and hence not easily noticed. Since the medial systems today have not learnt to diagnose and treat the disease viz. “corruption of perspective”; they do not identify and treat this disease, which often inflicts the medical systems themselves!
Sectarian and corrupt perspective makes our thoughts, feelings and actions also increasingly mean, lonely, weak, inert, grumbling, intolerant, inconsiderate, resentful, vindictive and miserably selfish and pathogenic (many times concealed under deceptive glamor and glitter) for ourselves and the society!
The paradigms or premises; of the sectarian supremacy, racial superiority, financial expansionism, religious bigotry and fanaticism and so on (without concern for the well being of the entire world) constitutes corrupt perspective and highly infectious stress!
Corrupt Thinking
The holistic perspective or normal perspective as gets corrupted (diseased and degenerated) gradually becomes increasingly NARROW, sick and sectarian.
From this sick and sectarian soil of corrupt perspective, the sick and sectarian thinking germinates! Everything holistic gets degenerated into everything sick and sectarian! This is corrupt thinking and corrupt rationale; behind the coercive; international, national and local; laws, conventions, traditions, rules, pacts (formed without concern for well being of the entire world)!
Thus the racially discriminating constitutions, the legal discrimination on the basis of castes, legal yet unjust tax system/s to exploit certain section for the benefit of another section, the repressive laws against trade, shops and such commercial activities, the legalized destructive promotion of alcohol, the various laws and rules with respect to special economic zones and so on are examples of “corrupt thinking”! The present sectarian medical and education systems (conspicuously lacking in integration and productive domain respectively) are also glaring examples of corrupt thinking.
The so called corruption (embodying mere financial scams, bribing and even other corrupt activities) is actually crude and superficial symptom of the deeper disease viz. corrupt thinking, which in turn is the crude symptom of deeper disease viz. corrupt perspective!
Corrupt Emotions
The motivation behind the literature, art, media, movies, dramas, and advertisements and so on (serving the sectarian aims, petty objectives, and vested interests ingrained in the above intellectual themes; without concern for the welfare of people at large; or even at the cost of the welfare of people at large) constitute the corruption of emotions and instincts.
In our personal life; one such emotion, which we carry on from childhood; throughout life, is the craze for accolades, awards and honors!
In the course of time; awards accolades and honors become a means of profiteering in many ways apart from euphoria; for us!! They become a means of establishing upper hand, dominance, and sway of one kind or another; on the society. We enjoy this upper hand, dominance, power, which further inflate our ego and give arrogant happiness, which is not easily describable! But all of us have experienced this sense of addicting elation when our ego is boosted!
Corrupt Actions
The actual laws, literature, art forms, media campaigns, movements, and such every activity in different fields; either organized or unorganized (without concern for the welfare of the world; or at the cost of the world) constitutes the corrupt actions.
In personal life; we manipulate to get “prestigious” awards, bribe to get “accolades” and use every irregular means to get “honors”!
Isn’t it true that the degree of our petty greed and our mean addictions like these; in various fields (apart from helplessness and meekness born out of dire needs); determines the extent of financial and other varieties of corruption in our society irrespective of where we live in the world?
Considering the universal expanse of the corruption and the STRESS associated with it; from the brief discussion above, it should be clear how corruption and stress are really ubiquitous i.e. not only outside but inside us as well!!
The roots of the corruption thrive from the faulty perspective, followed by corrupt thoughts, emotions and actions.
Hence the efforts without this insight constitute a phase in the groping crusade against corruption, but can not eradicate the roots of corruption and can not blossom the global perspective and global conscience.
For this i.e. to rectify, repair, restore, regenerate, rejuvenate and effectively blossom the ROOTS of global perspective and global conscience the answer is; to break open the throttling shackles restricting the space of our consciousness and thereby effectively eradicate the corruption of our perspective, thinking, feelings and actions!
This is called HOLISTIC RENAISSANCE, SUPERLIVING i.e. Total Stress Management (the core of which is NAMASMARAN).
Interestingly; the theists practicing, promoting and propagating NAMASMARAN as well as the atheists with clear conscience; without this perspective; also; actually contribute to Total Stress Management (total well being, holistic health, superliving or holistic renaissance). They provide the fervor, motivation and driving force; and analytical, operational and technological capability respectively!
This is because; holistic renaissance or superliving an incoming thing; irrespective of our wish and will!! We understand this if we are fortunate!

Total Stress Management
Posted by on Wednesday, 22nd February 2012
TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Total Stress Management (total well being, holistic health, superliving or holistic renaissance) includes holistic perspective, policymaking, programs and their implementation; according to one’s spontaneous fervor and capacity.
Some of us argue that we (and others) undergo stress because of our past deeds (poorva-sanchit or prarabdha) and hence we should accept stress as God’s desire and be happy. This logic is applied to the social evils as well! They ask; “Can we be happy even if all the material pleasures are granted? Are not all the material pleasures useless in terms of giving total fulfillment of life? What is the use of pursuing material pleasures? Is not the body that enjoys it also temporary? Are we not unhappy merely because of our ego or the state of our mind? What is the use of Total Stress Management; when all is vanity? Isn’t the world UNCHANGED; even when so many people toiled for its improvement in the past? Aren’t such efforts useless and futile? What is the use of such efforts; if we have to leave everything; when we die?
As there are different constitutions of people; it is natural that many of us are not able to study, think, work and grow out of their shells. They live within the ambit of their personal limitations and their individual physical, instinctual, emotional and intellectual needs. They do not participate in Total Stress Management. Unknowingly or knowingly; they become either the victims or the causes of the STRESS; even as they continue to be well meaning, polite, gentle, good, charitable, innocent, honest etc.
For some of us, Total Stress Management (total well being, holistic health, superliving or holistic renaissance) is an essential and holistic expression of the empowerment and enlightenment of NAMASMARAN in personal, family, occupational and social life. For them; it is like oxygen. Just as they breathe oxygen without any expectations and questions; they participate in Total Stress Management unconditionally.
