TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT AND NAMASMARAN (JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN; i.e. remembering God or true SELF) 01: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Patient: Sir! It is true that NAMASMARAN (JAP, JAAP, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN i.e. remembering God or true self ) is preached by most saints and prophets. But how is to related to; day to day stresses and strains?
Doctor: Day to day stresses and strains; are only apparent symptoms! In fact; the stress is present in unconscious, subconscious as well s conscious states. It is present even in coma. It is present during sleep and dreams.It is present during embryonic life and it is present in all living forms!
Patient: But we thought that stress is due to severe competition, difficult targets, frightening insecurity and stringent dead lines!
Doctor: True! These also cause stress; and hence are few of the many stressors!
Patient: But how the apparently idle practice of NAMASMARAN can bring about Total Stress Management?
Doctor: I will explain it in the course of time. But for the moment; remember that just as the new born; ought to breathe; even if; it is not convinced about the vital role of oxygen; in the same way; we also ought to begin the practice of NAMASMARAN; even if we don't understand its relevance!

Doctor: Stress influences every cell of the body; to a greater or lesser extent. As a result; it predisposes an individual to a variety of problems! Besides predisposing to many diseases, it can actually cause many diseases. Lastly; it can aggravate already existing diseases; thereby increasing the morbidity and mortality.
Patient: Can you please give an example?
Doctor: Stress can actually cause as well as aggravate diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus in turn; makes an individual susceptible to infections e.g. tuberculosis. Because of this all the family members, neighbors and colleagues of the patient are at a risk! In addition, diabetes is many times associated with a number of complications such as retinopathy, cataract, (complications of eye), neuropathy, (complications of nerves), nephropathy, (complications of kidney), gangrene (Gangrene means death and putrefaction of a part of body necessitating removal of that part (amputation) for survival) etc. All this suffering leads to weakness and fickleness of mind! We lose the capacity to meet and fight the challenges!
Patient: Why don’t we find all this about Total Stress Management; in the mainstream educational curriculums?
Doctor: The policy makers and the leaders in educational field also are stressed! Thus their perception, feelings and behavior is also distorted and deranged; leading; to development of individualistic education with petty pursuits!
Patient: I see! Now I understand why you insist on practice and promotion of NAMASMARAN!
Doctor: NAMASMARAN entails the associated measures embodied in Total Stress Management.
Patient: So we must practice and promote, practice and promote and practice and promote!!!
Doctor: I may use the word "must"! But if you are convinced, then you certainly would do so, joyously, victoriously and on war footing!
Patient: Can we conquer the ignorance and apathy and NAMASMARAN and Total Stress Management?
Doctor: Of course! We can and we will! It is writing on the wall!
Patient: Next time; will you please inspire and enlighten me further?
Doctor: I will try my best!

Patient: Sir! Last time you explained; why stress does not get noticed. Moreover; is it not true that the extent of stress is variable?
Doctor: Yes. The effects of stress vary in accordance with the individual’s perceptions, his/her homeostatic machinery (Homeostatic machinery exists right from the time of fertilization of ovum and sperm. It develops into several organs & tissues which work in a coordinated manner to keep the internal environment constant [within normal range] and the nature, intensity, frequency, duration and number of stressors acting at a time and the complexity of the stressors.
Patient: Do you mean to say that the extent of energy, passions, sensitivity, intelligence and perspective of an individual would determine the extent of stress?
Doctor: Yes! But besides all these; the actual physiological constitution (genotype and phenotype) also determine the effects of stress. All these are referred to as SANCHIT!
Patient: What is genotype and phenotype?
Doctor: Genotype is like seed, where the life is not expressed and phenotype is like a tree, where life is expressed.
Patient: Because of TV and internet the stimuli bombarding on our mind have multiplied in rapidity and complexity!
Doctor: Yes! As we have forgotten our true SELF, we have become disoriented caricatures of ourselves! We have become desperate to “achieve” petty personal gains!
Patient: So we ourselves add to the stressors in the form of spreading lies! Am I right?
Doctor: You said it! Hence NAMASMARAN is the reversal of the forgetfulness and disorientation of true SELF! It is the process of reversal of the root cause of stress!
Patient: So, do all these factors determine; the extent of stress and its effects on the life of an individual and the environment?
Doctor: Yes! Environment includes physical e.g. global warming, chemical e.g. pollution, biological e.g. mosquitoes, the family e.g. domestic violence, working place e.g. nepotism, society e.g. riots!
Patient: Sir! Now I am eager and keen to learn more about all this!
Doctor: Surely!
Patient; Sir! Please explain to me elaborately the root of cause of stress, why and how it is the greatest killer and also the greatest destroyer; and how to begin Total Stress Management!
Doctor: Surely! In fact this process of understanding is the first step in Total Stress Management; helping me also!
