SIMPLE AND DIFFICULT DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Wednesday, 22nd June 2011
Where ever our physical strength, speed, maneuverability, flexibility, endurance and over all capacity; psychomotor skills, intellectual ability are adequate or we find that particular topic easy and where ever all these are inadequate and or deficient; we find it difficult.
But when it comes to total stress management, holistic health, superliving or simultaneous blossoming one and all; we usually fall short of the paradigm.
If we are casual and petty in our paradigm; then we chose to live in irresponsibility, lethargy, incompetence, hatred, cheating, corruption, other crimes, perversions, and so on. By virtue of casual approach we thwart the very possibility of intensity and commitment; very much essential in any study and practice; but most importantly in total stress management.
The easiest way of shifting our paradigm is NAMASMARAN. Isn’t this statement SIMPLE, convincing, acceptable and practicable? But many of us; due to the triviality and pettiness of our paradigms; find it extremely difficult, unconvincing, unacceptable and impractical and impossible!
Let us be clear; that all the theories and practices involved in total stress management (holistic health, superliving or individual and global blossoming) are SIMPLE; but require paradigm shift; which is why NAMASMARAN; the universal key to paradigm shift is the core of total stress management.

STRESS SATSANG AND NAMASMARAN DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Wednesday, 22nd June 2011
The causes of stress are called stressors. These are inside as well as outside.
The outer stressors can usually be easily identified and described in many books on stress management.
But the inner stressors, which often create unbearable conflicts; are not easy to recognize. These stressors are like hidden or invisible enemies! They are located so deep within our thoughts, emotions and our instincts and hence often in our subconscious mind, that they not accessible to our thoughts and reasoning. They elude even our spouse, family members, counselors, guides, friends, teachers, close relatives and so on!
In view of the stressors and the stress (and subsequent degeneration, deterioration, degradation, downfall and destruction) they cause; the traditional wisdom emphasizes on being in satsang i.e. being in good company.
The real meaning of satsang is being in selective company of the truth outside as well as inside; even amidst the presence of falsity.
In other words we have to shield ourselves from (or overcome) the destructive influence of people opposed to individual and global blossoming; at physical, instinctual, emotional and intellectual levels.
This can be done by
1. Avoiding or overcoming the influence of physical presence by not attending certain social events or leaving certain places as early as possible
2. Avoiding or overcoming the influence of certain seductive exhibitions, movies, which are designed to trap our instincts; especially sexual passions
3. Avoiding or overcoming the influence of plays, movies, speeches, literature etc, which ignite prejudice, hatred, division, disruption by trapping our emotions
4. Avoiding or overcoming the influence of intellectual sarcasm, cynicism, skepticism and other arguments which trap our intelligence into bigotry, fanaticism, pettiness and meanness
5. Sublimating our own physical, instinctual, emotional and intellectual sensations; producing urges, cravings, feelings, desires and compulsions, which time and again weaken us and drag us into situations for which we have repent later.
6. While choosing the company of truth outside is very difficult; choosing the company of truth inside is even more difficult.
7. The tradition has provided us with the powerful gadget (the practice of NAMASMARAN) that empowers us to select and cling to the truth outside and inside; amidst the harrowing and stupefying falsehood; i.e. be in satsang!

NAMASMARAN VS NAMAVISMARAN DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Wednesday, 22nd June 2011
NAMA is a word used to indicate true self; inseparable from the unifying universal self. Hence forgetting our self or being oblivious to our self can be referred to as NAMAVISMARAN [NAMA (self); VISMARAN (forgetting)].
As we “forget” our true self (NAMAVISMARAN), i.e. undergo a “descent” into our caricatures, we begin to live as our caricatures. We then get segregated into races, philosophies, ideologies, religions, cultures, nations, regions, families and individuals! Latter we descend further by the downward momentum of individualization and into pettier and meaner life!
This universal process of NAMAVISMARAN manifests in the form of individualistic and often antisocial whims, fancies, idiosyncrasies, delinquencies, perversions, family disputes, quarrels; and world wide spate of antisocial activities leading to dissipation, dispersion, disruption, distortion, decomposition, disease, degeneration and destruction.
Since the root of the individual and universal problems lies in the universal process of NAMAVISMARAN, the panacea for the radical measure for the cure and prevention of the individual and universal problems; lies in reversal of the prevalent universal process of NAMAVISMARAN through active practice and promotion of universal process of NAMASMARAN.
Individual and universal blossoming would begin with the polarization of us; the inhabitants of the world; into those who dedicate themselves to practice and promote NAMASMARAN; and those who ignore, neglect, avoid, doubt, suspect, resist, condemn, ridicule, suppress and oppose NAMASMARAN either actively or passively (by remaining inert and idle).
The latter also would get the chance to practice and promote NAMASMARAN and individual and universal blossoming because of global momentum; though after varying trials and tribulations.

LEADERS AND FOLLOWERS DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Wednesday, 22nd June 2011
If we represent the security, biological needs, passions, emotions and conscience of a large number of people, then we tend to live as leaders.
Thus we may live; as military leaders, political leaders, leaders in art, leaders in literature and leaders in conscience keeping and bring about holistic renaissance!
Leaders have commitment to cause. A supreme dedication is born out of such commitment. This dedication associated with; clarity of vision, single mindedness, unwavering steadfastness, courage of conviction; enables them to grasp, articulate and shape the future of millions and succeed in blossoming millions of lives along with their own.
The case in point is; those who can “see” the incoming holistic renaissance; would certainly get thrilled to blissfully participate in the process of engendering holistic renaissance and fulfill their lives as as leaders!
The followers on the other hand; would wait and watch! They would think of pros and cons. They would keep thinking and wavering in different possibilities of personal losses and gains!
Some of them may become passive supporters; while others would take their time to understand, overcome conflicts, clarify doubts, develop conviction, get inspired, feel motivated, and finally; participate with variable dedication; in the process of holistic renaissance.

PRACTICE AND PREACHING -- DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Friday, 18th February 2011
A man is almost always born with the dream of global welfare. However he rarely identifies it. If he identifies it, then he begins to pursue it, according to his capability and bent of mind. Thus some people get satisfied with ad hoc, incomplete and superficial symptomatic solutions and enter political, social, commercial, artistic, academic, industrial, agricultural, philanthropic careers.
Some people however try to go to the root of the problems so as to realize the dream of universal welfare.
Many of these get lost into the fleeting ideologies, unrealistic concepts and self deception. Many others come to terms with the deception and in turn; deceive people under the guise of political revolution, spiritual renaissance, sat yug and so on!
Some of these however, try to go to the roots of the problems for realizing the dream of global unity and harmony holistically and after extensive study and experiments, spreading over life time; almost reach holistic and universal perspective, policies, plans and actions. They differ in terms of details; but not in essence.
The most important common factor amongst these people is the tangible perception of universal unity and harmony.
It is this sublime experience, which is sought by everyone. Hence these people are sure that the universal unity and harmony is not merely a dream or imagination but a reality of near future.
They realize that the prerequisite for universal unity and harmony (reality of the near future) is self realization and self expression (SUPERLIVING); the core of which is universal practice and promotion of NAMASMARAN! Being a cosmic being; is indeed a reality for them; though not for most of us who are casual in approach.
We can get that most cherished experience of being a cosmic being; if we keenly practice and promote NAMASMARAN; in every possible way; as a matter of greatest privilege, golden opportunity and top most priority. Alternatively; we would get painfully dragged (by global momentum) in that experience; after severe trials and tribulations; against our wretched reluctance and resistance.
