FEAST AND PRASAD: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
WHAT IS FEAST:
Feasts and parties; involve giving or receiving food, with or without various paraphernalia. They quench hunger and thirst and satisfy taste buds, besides giving pleasure of socialization and entertainment. Usually; these are associated with superiority complex, inferiority complex; one-up-man-ship, exhibition of wealth, fashion, glamour and glitter. Often there is an element of intoxication, euphoria, dysphoria, inebriation and delirium; followed by emptiness and depression!
What is PRASAD?
Cosmic consciousness manifests as an individual in some part of the world! The life of such a person is seen catalyzes the process of self realization in millions of others; throughout his life and even after leaving his/her body; through centuries. This place, where he spends his life becomes a place of pilgrimage. The pilgrims get empowered in the process of self realization and self expression; by going to these places.
We find in India; thousands of places of pilgrimage; where a saint, a yogi, a rishi, or a mahatma; has spent life. These places of pilgrimage; have one feature in common; viz. the distribution PRASAD at subsidized price or free of cost.
The food; that is cooked to offer the particular saint or yogi (cosmic consciousness) is PRASAD. Such food is in a way; “charged” with the benevolence of the saint to catalyze the process of individual and universal blossoming!
This is why; thousands of us; consider themselves fortunate and privileged; in participation of making such prasad available; to pilgrims and in eating it themselves! Thus thousands of people participate in various activities; involved in the distribution of PRASAD such as funding, cleaning, cooking, serving and also cleaning the vessels!
One such place is Gondavale; in Maan taluka of Satara district; in Maharashtra state; in India. Thousands of visitors whether tourists or devotees; are served PRASAD; in the form of freshly prepared cow butter with sugar, breakfast, lunch and dinner; every day; without charging any money what so ever for the last; one and a half century.
Can we globalize the culture of self realization through NAMASMARAN and distribution of PRASAD? The world needs it. But more than that; we need it for ourselves. We need it for our own satisfaction of creating a healthy environment around ourselves; and our generations to come.

BEYOND STRESS IN NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
The subtle, sublime and supreme aspects of arts, science, business, skills and such many human endeavors are ultimately traceable to the absolute or cosmic consciousness in every heart. This core of an individual is called true self or NAMA and is the same as BRAHMA, GOD and GURU or COSMIC CONSCIOUSNESS. It is omniscient, omnipresent and omnipotent.
GOD or GURU himself inspires us; and mobilizes us; to practice the common minimum program of NAMASMARAN (called JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN and embodies remembering one's true self); and increasingly recognize and realize the unity and harmony with HIM and also with rest of the universe.
We are beyond stress; as and when we begin to envisage; every nook and corner of our own heart; on the one hand; and every nook and corner of the hearts of the people in all the continents of the world; on the other; filled with NAMASMARAN (called JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN and embodies remembering one's true self); ushering in; holistic renaissance!

GURU AND DISCIPLE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Guru: I am pleased with your prayers, NAMASMARAN and your work. You may ask for any bounty.
Disciple: My Lord, I don’t know; what to ask for. Theoretically; I agree that all “my” prayers, "my" NAMASMARAN and “my” work; belong to you; as you are the soul; of “my" whole existence!
But practically; I am always ridden in stress; emerging from some unidentified, indefinite, and unknown source! The source may be anything or many things; ranging from my genotype, phenotype, metabolic activities, hormonal interactions, neurological events and psychological phenomena, which are influenced; by the changing; external (physical, chemical, biological, psychological, political, social, religious etc) atmosphere; and fluctuate thereby!
Sometimes I feel; that my stress; is due to the pandemic of stress spread ubiquitously in the world; and can be rectified through universalization of NAMASMARAN; and hence universalization of NAMASMARAN is the remedy; for my stress!
But the next moment; I realize; that though; universalization of NAMASMARAN and propagation of its potential to usher in; the holistic renaissance; are indeed the ways for holistic renaissance; they cannot be a “remedy to my stress”! The universalization of NAMASMARAN (and its potential); as well as; the anticipated or foreseen emergence of holistic renaissance; are “unending”! The “complete rectification” of the pandemic of stress; is as illusory; as the fleeting and illusory nature of the pandemic itself!
But since “I” am inseparable from this illusion; I am in stress and I don’t know how to get rid of it! I have failed to overcome this stress!
Guru: My dear friend! This is a magic of remembrance and forgetfulness! At the moment you are; in relatively more forgetfulness than in remembrance of me (your true self)! Hence there is stress!
However; the process of practicing and promoting NAMASMARAN; and its benevolent and pivotal role; in holistic renaissance; must go on; till I wish!
At right time; your role will be over; and you will be granted a complete remembrance and zero forgetfulness of me (your true self)!
This is where there is NO stress!
Disciple: Thank you! Thank you very much!!

THE GIFT OF SADGURU DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

THE GIFT OF SADGURU DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
We have used the word Sadguru to differentiate it from the modern usage of the word guru; implying expertise or mastery in a particular field such as management. Sadguru is also called Mauli or Mother.
Our mother may or may not teach us; different arts and skills; and may or may not give us; money, fame and power.
But she gives us; birth and enables and empowers us; to sustain life! She enables and empowers us to learn everything we aspire to learn and/or to earn!
Quite similarly; the Sadguru may or may not; teach us the various techniques and crafts! He may or may not; teach us biology or computers. He may or may not; provide us with wealth, popularity and social weightage!
But the Sadguru; enlivens us; to the life of life! He reorients us; to our immortal true self! He reinstates us; in our own abode! He enlightens us; to “see” the “hidden” unity and harmony; in the universe! He nurtures us; from the deepest root; of our being! He enkindles us from within!
The Sadguru gives; objectivity to our existence and rectifies our vision, ideas, aims, objectives, pursuits and activities! Everything in our life; becomes increasingly unprejudiced, impartial, unbiased, accurate, appropriate and deeply satisfying!
How does Sadguru give all this
?
To understand this we have to know; what is NAMA.
The NAMA does not connote just a name! Even though outwardly or superficially looking at it; it is usually a name of God (or a saint; or a prophet; or a mere concept of god for an atheist); the infinite and ultimate reality; the NAMA harbors; becomes evident as one keeps on practicing NAMASMARAN (jap, jaap, jikra, sumiran, simaran, that is; remembering our true self).
In the course of time; we get passionately engrossed in NAMASMARAN; and later; experience; being connected with NAMA, the center of our being, the innermost seed of our existence; the source of omnipotence, omniscience and omnipresence; and our Sadguru Himself! His unimaginable bounty and providence; begin to flow; incessantly!
