Stress and Law
Posted by on Friday, 21st May 2010
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 can come closer to accuracy and hence achieve greater effectiveness if they spring from and are coordinated and orchestrated by ever renewed self realization i.e. cosmic consciousness, in the new generations!
In fact, self realization i.e. merging with cosmic consciusness; enables us to express the enlightenment in every walk of life so that above said coordination, orchestration and harmonization in every field through out the world becomes possible. In other words individual and global stress management (Total Stress Management) becomes possible.
The way for merging with cosmic consciousness is NAMASMARAN.
It is true that thousands of people are practicing NAMSMARAN and many of them are merging with cosmic consciousness and expressing their enlightenment in various walks of life. But this practice of NAMASMARAN i.e. process of self realization has to be universal so that the laws governing the universal life become conducive to self realization i.e. individual and global blossoming.
In the field of law, there are; many laws, which are coercive, restrictive, throttling, suffocating and create hindrance to individual and global blossoming on one hand; and many laws conducive to individual and global blossoming; are grimly missing; on the other!
The laws regarding education, health, agriculture, industries and so on; should be such; that they enhance self realization i.e. individual and global blossoming and dispel the degenerating, debilitating and destructive forces. For instance:
1. Concept of Self realization (holistic (universal) perspective, policy making, planning and execution)
2. Concepts of Holistic health Holistic Medicine
3. Productive Domain in Education
4. Plantation of suitable or feasible plants
5. Conviction of the demerits, disadvantages and dangers of the perspective, policies, planning and laws and regulations; leading to “individualistic and consumerist progress” (e.g. unabated felling of trees, excessive production and marketing of personal transport vehicles and barbaric and brutal slaughtering of animals)
must be part of all kinds of education.
Everything other than NAMASMARAN; “marketed and sold”, “hyped and imposed” and “glorified and infused”; for “stress management or stress relaxation”; such as meditation techniques, rituals, equipments, commodities etc.; are subjective, escapist, sectarian, ad hoc, superficial and neglect or ridicule the above mentioned aspects of Total Stress Management and hence; in the presence of NAMASMARAN they can be temporarily beneficial (palliative symptomatic) and in the absence of NAMASMARAN, the prove to be either counterproductive or useless!

Stress and Marathi Announcement
Posted by on Friday, 21st May 2010
There is no announcement in Marathi on Mumbai airports. This makes every Marathi speaking person feel that these airports do not belong to him or her. It also brings about a disturbing feeling of having come in an alien area, a foreign land or even a mildly hostile place, which brings about a feeling alienation, anxiety and of unnecessary pressure and stress. This happens especially in case of the vast majority of the Maharashtrians whose mother tongue is not Hindi or English.
It is essential to vehemently pursue this matter and enforce the government and the concerned agencies to bring about the necessary change and start announcement in Marathi on these airports in Mumbai, which is the capital of Maharashtra.
That would make all Marathi people coming from the nook and corner of Maharashtra; feel at home on these otherwise alien and hostile appearing airports. It would also make all Marathi people feel that Mumbai airports belong to Maharashtra and residents of Maharashtra.

Stress and Musk
Posted by on Friday, 21st May 2010
Can the whirlwind know the direction of its velocity and acceleration?
Can the earthquake know its epicenter?
Can the earth know the direction of movement?
Can the body know the nature of intermolecular forces?
Can the deer know the location of musk?
We keep on darting intellectually, emotionally, instinctually and physically without knowing the culmination, which is the “merger” with the core of individual and universal existence!
Stress may continue even after the “musk is located”, but the “stress” does not remain “stress” anymore!

Stress and Politics
Posted by on Friday, 21st May 2010
Way back; when I used to read about the achievements of many illustrious and dedicated philanthropists; I used feel tremendous respect on the one hand and tremendous despair (stress) on the other, because of the lack of holistic perspective limiting their role; in the world politics for individual and global blossoming.
I am more than happy to see; most of the philanthropists realize this; and participate in politics i.e. policies, plans, programs and actions for public welfare (obviously not the dirty, party or petty politics)!
Many of us may not agree with the details of the agenda of these people. But I am very happy to see this happen; because it is indicative of the dawn of individual and global blossoming, in perspective, thoughts, feelings and actions.
World politics is; or rather ought to be; the expression of cosmic consciousness (converging into global consensus) with the perspective of individual and global blossoming.
Thus people of such perception and conviction, when identify, appreciate, come together and interact; the pragmatic aspects of actual means and modalities of actions get crystallized.
At present also this is happening, but in a rather imperfect, immature, inaccurate, insufficient, inadequate and ineffective manner. Primarily, this imperfection is that of perspective, conceptualization, conviction and actual experience or realization.
The millions of different needs, wants, likes, dislikes, virtues, vices, actions, interactions, contradictions, dialogues, hopes and despairs of billions of living beings; of different ages; with different geographical, political, social, economic, cultural and historical backgrounds; one thing in common. This lowest common denominator is the deep seated urge; for individual and global blossoming; either voluntary or involuntary and conscious or subconscious!
The visible hallmarks of this individual and global blossoming (though in formative or developing stage); are; millions of people being served food free of cost, millions of cows being cared for; as by Gondavle Sansthan, ISCKON and many other institutions, trees being planted by ISHA, millions of people being trained in yoga by Swami Ramdev and Patanjali Yogapeeth pariwar, Promotion and cultivation of herbal plants by Ahcarya Balkrishna, millions of people being trained in Sudarshan Kriya by Sri Sri Ravishankar and Art of Living pariwar, holistic medical practice by at least some holistic practitioners in the world and attempts towards justice in political, legal, economic, agricultural and health care areas, by many institutions and individuals all over the world.
But in addition to them I strongly feel that
* Universal Practice of NAMASMARAN i.e. remembering one’s true self (about whom we are usually oblivious), right from childhood, according to the particular tradition.
* Availability, upholding and promotion of safe drinking water and vegetarian food
* Redefining the “holistic health”; as “Optimal intellectual, emotional, instinctual and physical actions to promote individual and global blossoming, in one’s field”.
* Practice and promotion of Holistic Medicine; i.e. “the art, science and skills of employing everything effective; in regaining and promoting holistic health”, as; essential and inseparable core of mainstream Medical Education, Teaching, Practice and Research.
* Holistic Education with emphasis on a) the principles and preliminary practices of holistic health and holistic medicine, b) productive domain c) affective, cognitive and psychomotor domains, d) empowerment through NAMASMARAN e) practical productive progress, self sufficiency; research and teaching in all education institutions!
* Even the specialized institutions would not be exception to “earn and learn”, “produce and progress”, “practice and pass” principles. The written examinations would be replaced by actual assessment of the skills, at all levels.
* All religious temples and places of worship would voluntarily incorporate educational, industrial, and agricultural and research activities; conducive to holistic health; thereby get re-integrated with mainstream life. Conversely, all educational and industrial houses would adopt the activities of religious and spiritual bodies and institutions; in which, the philosophy of holistic health is implicit (though variable in terms of semantics i.e. languages and terms).
* Getting up early, drinking of water in morning, rubbing the teeth, gums and palate in morning and using herbs conducive to dental, oral and general health, would be promoted as essential elements of holistic health.
* Byhearting of hymns and prayers of different religions; would be sung together; amongst all religions, in all institutions.
* Laws would be devoid of vindictiveness, conducive to holistic health i.e. formative, and hence rigorously and strictly executed; e.g. the persons soiling the public property would me made to clean without compensation the same, a corrupt person would be made to work double the duty hours, in minimum salary and those involved in misleading or deceptive commercials such as (98% stoppage of hair fall, double increase in height) would be made to participate in production, research, training and practice of holistic health and medicine, at no profit.
* The production of bicycles and vehicles of mass transport being echo-friendly would be encouraged as against vehicles of personal transport.
* Sanskrit would be researched and taught all over the world if after careful scrutiny of international well meaning intellectuals belonging to different religions; and found beneficial to mankind.
* The unifying elements and enlightenment in the lives of saints, seers and other reformers would be integral part of the curriculums.
* The doctrines of bigotry, fanaticism, Zionism, racism, wars and hatred would occupy minimum or if possible actually NO space in curriculum.
* There would be introspective research and dialogue over; whether the culture of slaughtering the cows and bullocks (and other animals) is an evolved and civilized act; beneficial to mankind? or is it preferable to love, care, adopt and coexist with animals?
* There would be extensive and conclusive debate, evolution of globally beneficial policies, laws, rules and their implementation in this regard; world over.
* There would be encouragement to folk sports as for the folk arts and folk music in preference to high tech sports and arts
* The defense policies would gradually become less barbaric, less cruel, less vicious, less prejudiced, less suspicious, less obstinate and more reconciliatory.

Stress and Publicity
Posted by on Friday, 21st May 2010
It is natural that we feel like being famous and popular. The glamour tempts! The accolades attract! This goes on throughout life.
But the question usually keeps recurring and reverberating is; what then? The publicity, popularity, fame and accolades can give us a sense of pride that can boost us no doubt, but only temporarily. We go in depression when the fame fades! Moreover it can be deceptive and hence traumatically disillusion us and disturb us! This is one of the major causes of stress!
The wise people suggest that our happiness should be independent of inputs from outside.
Even though initially this may appear impossible, it is not. However I have found it very, very difficult! The practice of NAMASMARAN is said to make us really buoyant and fulfilled on our own; but the degree of commitment and dedication required in NAMSMARAN; is really immense and not easy to display, even when the necessities of reasonable survival are fulfilled.
The reason for this is; even though NAMASMARAN is very personal, it also encompasses the core of the whole universe! Hence it is not a matter of petty achievements and trivial successes. It is a matter of the blossoming of your personality from within in such a way that the enlightening fragrance of your soul encompasses the whole universe! In fact; this is the reason why it can preempt your dependence on and craving for publicity, fame, popularity and accolades!
Your enlightenment is no more; mere personal, but it is universal and immortal; and keeps invigorating and rejuvenating billions after billions for millennia.
