The dosha, dhatu and mala together are called tridosha. They imply three aspects of life.

The concept of dosha implies the controlling forces and elements including bioelectricity, anabolism and catabolism. The doshas can also be imagined to be a link between the external and internal universe and the various phenomena of life.

The concept; thus can be imagined to be akin to seed, root and leaves of the life tree. Doshas helps the tree to internalize the water, manure, fertilizers and oxygen; leading to growth, development, optimal activity and time bound decomposition and death. They represent dynamic, moving or controlling aspects of life.

The dhatu implies the more stable elements such as various secretions, substrates, blood, muscles, depot fat and other forms of fat, bones and other cartilaginous and keratinous structures and elements, marrow or inner parenchyma elements and semen or resultant energy in an individual represented by it. The dhatus are stable aspects such as stem, branches and the other components of these structures. These represent a more stable stage of the life process.

The concept of mala implies the less dynamic, less stable elements. They are the effects or functions of the interactions amongst the doshas and dhatus. These elements resulting from above interactions, leave the body in timely manner on moment to moment basis and day to day basis. But what is important is to appreciate that they stay for some specific time and serve specific functions before they leave the body. Hence the formation of mala and the processes and time of their exits are characteristic and vital to body health!

One can take the examples of sweat, urine, feces, CO2, water, urea, NH3, H+ and last but not the least the semen; and such many so called “waste products” and observe carefully to confirm their vital role in physiology.

This observation is probably the basis of “Shivambu Chikitsa” i.e. drinking of one’s own urine or Gomutra i.e. drinking of cow urine and eating of cow dung for therapeutic purpose.

Mala does not mean waste.

Even as political and economic freedom are hailed time and again, the freedom of conscience is rarely spoken about.

However, if you look at the matter of freedom closely, then you would appreciate that political freedom and economic freedom are important but not sufficient. They do not solve many subtle yet genuine problems of human life. In fact political and economic freedom in isolation i.e. without inner growth and development i.e. inner blossoming; i.e. freedom of conscience; can prove to be counterproductive!

In fact the people in different parts of the world have gained political and to some extent economic freedom, but still they are in turmoil and tribulations due to various causes fundamentally related to inconsiderate and intolerant attitudes, bigotry, religious, racial and other cancerous and malignant vested interests, fanaticism, terrorism, and pettiness of perspective, policies, plans and transactions!
In turn, the laws, the conventions, the traditions, the fashions, the beliefs and even literature, media and advertising are being built and shaped in such a way, that they are suffocating our conscience! These things are too high walls of a prison in which our conscience is imprisoned!
Our conscience is thus; imprisoned in the dark and murky jail of ignorance and the fallouts of ignorance.

But there is nothing to be worried about.

The world conscience; still can be freed and we all can blossom together if billions of people practice NAMASMARAN and explode the walls, barriers and shackles that throttle it!

BUT WHAT IS AMASMARAN?
Namasmaran means; remembering the name of God, Guru, great souls; such as prophets and holy objects such as planets and stars. It may be remembered silently, loudly, along with music, dance, along with breathing, in group or alone, either with counting by rosary (called SMARANI or JAPAMALA) or without counting. The traditions vary from region to region and from religion to religion.

However the universal principle underlying NAMASMARAN is to reorient your physiological being with your true self. In
fact while reorienting with true self you aim to establish and strengthen the bond or
connection; between; your physiological being; with your true self. You aim at reunification with yourself!

Since remembering your true self is the pinnacle of or culmination of individual
consciousness, and individual consciousness is the culmination of every activity in life, remembering any name of God or Guru (any symbol of your true self) is equivalent to opening the final common pathway for the individual consciousness associated with
every possible activity to get funneled into or unified with objective or cosmic consciousness.

Thus NAMASMARAN is in fact the YOGA of YOGA in the sense that it is the culmination of consciousness associated with every possible procedure and technique in the yoga that you are familiar with. It is the
YOGA of YOGA because it is the culmination of consciousness associated with
all the activities in the universe, which it encompasses as well! It is YOGA of YOGA
because everybody in the world irrespective of his/her tradition and the beliefs; would eventually, ultimately and naturally reach it; in the process of liberation. Even so called non believers also would not “miss” the “benefit of remembering the true self through one symbol or another”!

Just as NAMASMARAN is YOGA of YOGA it is meditation of meditation also! It is the natural and ultimate climax of every form of meditation.
These facts however have to be realized with persistent practice of NAMSMARAN and
not blindly believed or blindly disbelieved with casual approach!

In short NAMSMARAN is super-bounty of cosmic consciousness for every individual to realize it (cosmic consciousness)! This is truly a super-bounty because a person who experiences it, rises above mercenary, commercial and even professional and
charity planes and manifest super- transactions in his or her life!

These are just few observations to give rough idea about what is NAMASMARAN.
NAMASMARAN is an ocean of bliss. Its true meaning is beyond description in words and has to b experienced, most preferably, by billions!
