VALUE EDUCATION AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
Student:
Sir, Why don’t you emphasize on value education; instead of NAMASMARAN?
Teacher:
In general; the values are inculcated through an interaction between; our innate core and what we see, hear and experience! Hence exposure to universally accepted values is useful; in as much as exposure to universally condemned values is harmful.
The idea of value education rightly aims at blossoming of the students along with the teachers! Blossoming essentially involves the opportunity and assistance to grow from within and bloom! But every individual has different personality with different qualities. Every individual has different family background; different socioeconomic condition; different culture and different political atmosphere. Every individual is different in several other respects; such as geographic and historical backgrounds also!
Considering this; it is obvious that the values have to be adopted with their relative feasibility! NO value is an absolute truth!
In such a scenario; the efforts to “impart” certain values; with uniformity; can be in conflict with one’s culture, religion, ideology, race, and nation and amounts to regimentalization!! It is subtly coercive and dictatorial.
If I possess a value that is condemned or if I dispossess a value, which glorified, I may develop guilt complex and conversely; if I possess a value that is adored and don’t possess a value that is condemned, then I may begin to feel proud and arrogant, which in both cases; is unhealthy!
There cannot be dictates and/or a blue print for blossoming!
NAMASMARAN, which is like water, oxygen or electricity, stimulates inner growth and development; and grooms the potentials; without arbitrary commandments. It helps us to grow naturally so as to break the shell nonviolently and get freed; from the “egg of ego” we are otherwise confined to! It sets us free from our pettiness and sectarianism, which are the basic cause of discord, antipathy and strife, in side as well as outside!
Hence I prefer NAMASMARAN; to value education and prefer to practice, promote and emphasize NAMASMARAN; in fact; to everything else!!

HEALTH AND NAMASMARAN: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

HEALTH AND NAMASMARAN: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Our existence is an amalgam of immortal spirit, which we call Brahma, Ishwar, God, Guru, true self, NAMA and so on; and mortal element, which includes our body with all its physical and chemical attributes.
The immortal spirit or true self is said to be continuous with the “self of the universe! It is said to be eternal, vital and blissful. It is said to be complete and the ultimate. The mortal part is the body.
Our consciousness links us with our immortal core; as well as the mortal periphery and keeps fluctuating between them. When it is predominantly associated with our mortal part, we live in disease and slavery and when associated predominantly with our immortal part, we are in health and freedom.
Being attached to our mortal part is retrogressive and manifests in sectarian and petty perspective, policies, planning, programs and their implantation and being attached to our immortal self is progressive (holistic evolution over and above organic evolution) and manifests in holistic perspective, policies, planning, programs and their implementation; in different fields of personal and social life.
Today’s health system does not seem to recognize this! It considers merely the crude and bodily signs and symptoms to classify health and disease! These criteria are peripheral and superficial and hence deceptive and misleading!
The innate and true sign of sickness is forgetfulness and dissociation from our true self! Hence the infallible way to achieve health and freedom; is getting increasingly merged with true self or the immortal core (NAMA) through the practice of NAMASMARAN (JAAP, JAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, and SIMARAN i.e. remembering God by any of His name).

LOVE AND NAMASMARAN DR SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
Love is acclaimed as the best thing to happen in life!
But it is difficult to define love!
In simple words; love springs from within my heart and reaches the depths of the hearts of the others, when I am selfless!
How to be selfless?
The way to become selfless is simple.
It is not by trying to stop earning. It is not by trying to donate more.
It is by getting rid of subjectivity! What is subjectivity?
It is the urge to seek “my” wants, pursue “my” interests and assert “my” priorities and fancies; irrespective of the needs of the others.
How to get rid of the subjectivity?
Subjectivity is shed off in the course of the practice of NAMASMARAN. That is how I become increasingly selfless and love springs from my heart and reaches to the depths of the hearts of the others! This love is more benevolent and rejuvenating than anything else in the world!

A HOLISTIC PRESCRIPTION: DR SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR

A HOLISTIC PRESCRIPTION: DR SHRINIWAS JANARDAN KASHALIKAR
As we go on evolving; we begin to appreciate that a doctor’s prescription has to be HOLISTIC. It has to be aimed at healing an individual as well as a society; because; the health of an individual affects the health of a society; and the health of a society in turn; affects the health of an individual.
But this is not all!
The prescription can be holistic only if, it ensures complete and permanent health!
What is this complete and permanent health?
The complete and permanent health is actually an experience of ever effulgent benevolent bliss and vitalizing vitality! In other words; this is a state where there is no trace of pain, fear, worry, anxiety, insecurity, frustration, indolence, apathy, indifference, agitation, jealousy, hatred, viciousness, anguish, vindictiveness, revengefulness, selfishness, meekness, possessiveness and so on!
Hence ideally; the prescription should include all the guidelines about the preventive, curative and rehabilitative measures; applicable to; an individual’s health and also to; the health of a society. Thus the instructions should include all the international, national, regional and local policies, plans and programs; in every field of life!
This is especially essential as; the patient may be a lay person; medical student, a medical teacher, a practicing doctor, a paramedic. He or she may be even a policy maker, a leader or a health minister. He or she may be a scientist, a philosopher, a writer, an artist, whose thoughts, feelings, instincts and behavior influence; directly or indirectly; the international, national, regional and local policies, plans and programs in education, agriculture, industry, health care. All these are crucial determinants of the health of the society. The health of the society in turn; influences the health of an individual!
However; if we aim to include all such details in a prescription, then it would be impractical. A doctor is usually not trained in holistic health, holistic medicine and holistic medical practice. Moreover; even if a doctor is very well trained; and can include all such details, it would be extremely time consuming and the prescription would too huge!
In such a situation; how can we make a prescription holistic without having to train the doctors in holistic medicine? How can we make a prescription holistic, without having to write all the details? How can we make a prescription without spending excessive time? How can we make prescription holistic without making the prescription clumsily big and difficult for the patient; to read, understand and comply with?
The answer to this question is; to add an essential core to every prescription!
What kind of essential core?
The essential core should be such that it would add the holistic essence and make the prescription a holistic one! The criteria of such an essential core are;
1. It should nurture and evolve all the levels of consciousness.
2. It should be safe.
3. It should be noninvasive.
4. It should not involve technicality.
5. It should not involve skills e.g. singing.
6. It should not involve intellectual labor.
7. It should not involve learning a new language.
8. It should be inexpensive for the participants.
9. It should be acceptable to all cultures.
10. It should require minimum of classroom training
11. It should not interfere with daily routine.
12. It should be easy for compliance.
13. It should be accessible even to the individuals with handicaps such as physical, visual, auditory, vocal and so on.
The essential core of a holistic prescription that fulfills all the above criteria and is practiced across the cultures for millennia; is called NAMASMARAN, the synonyms of which are JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN, JAP and JAAP.
The concept of NAMASMARAN actually involves remembering the true self; as NAMA actually implies the true self. Remembering the NAMA is actually trying to reorient and reunite with one’s true self; because; this true self is usually inaccessible to one’s thinking, feeling and sensing!
This true self or innate core of an individual is traditionally referred to; as God or omniscient, omnipotent and omnipresent eternal truth.
From physiological point of view; NAMASMARAN involves:
1. Gradual central anchorage, control, regulation, progress, evolution and sublimation of the belligerent infatuations, whims, fancies, ideas, thoughts, feelings and instincts.
2. NAMASMARAN heals us by rectifying our physical needs, passions, feelings, motivations, thoughts; and vision (perspective) and behavior.
3. This is characterized by victory of over the dualities of thoughts, emotions and passions. But it does not stop here. There is triumphant ascent through the opposing nervous activities (e.g. sympathetic and parasympathetic), opposite thoughts, antagonistic emotions, conflicting passions; contra posed motivations and even the duality of anabolism and catabolism!
4. Later the NAMASMARAN is associated with the realization of being one, with the immortal and true self.
5. This is a difficult to conceive; as we are entrained to believe our beginning and end; in the end of our body. Moreover; the fact that we are immortal; is only experienced by only few; and we have no experience of it. Hence not only world consensus; but even the world literature in general; including scientific; does not uphold the idea of immortality.
6. Lastly; this is a protracted journey, but the most appropriate one! Moreover; while the other components of a prescription ensure prevention, cure and rehabilitation in concrete manner; NAMASMARAN ensures immortality! It is not concrete. It is not tangible. It is abstract! But what can be a more successful culmination than the state of immortality; of preventing, preempting or treating any disease?
7. NAMASMARAN is traditionally practiced for millennia and is centered on this state of immortality called Sat (True, Eternal) Chit (Vital, Living) Anand (Bliss); and normalizes the responses to internal and external stressors as one of the many byproducts. Hence it is safe as well as sure. It would prove to be central and crucial to a prescription; in preventing, preempting, or treating hundreds of other diseases and ailments; in terms of not either annihilating them, or overpowering and conquering; and thus getting freed from their sinister spell!

HEART DISEASE: THE BASELESS HYPOTHESIS! DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

HEART DISEASE: THE BASELESS HYPOTHESIS! DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
About twenty years ago I had sent a working hypothesis (a guesswork or conjecture) to a medical journal. In that hypothesis I had suggested stress as a root cause; in essential or idiopathic hypertension and ischemic heart diseases (apart from many others).
The hypothesis was rejected as baseless.
Today I wish to reiterate that hypothesis; in this article for free download; so that everyone can read and decide if it makes sense or not.
The hypothesis is:
The cardiovascular dysfunction; manifested in essential hypertensive pathophysiology and/or ischemic pathophysiology; is due to acute or chronic stress; either symptomatic (associated with; acute or chronic; restlessness, anxiety, conflicts, suffocation, fear, insecurity) or asymptomatic and without any symptoms. The underlying mechanisms of this stress could be:
a) Excess of adrenergic and nor adrenergic response or associated with tonic or phasic arteriolar spasms, increase in myocardial pumping, increase in all the catabolic products including those, which are produced by direct microscopic and molecular damage caused by increase in the catabolism/anabolism ratio!
b) Excess of simultaneous adrenergic, noradrenergic, cholinergic, non adrenergic, non noradrenergic; and non-cholinergic response; leading to disruption of the synergy and/or complementarity (e.g. actions on GIT smooth muscles and sphincters) , and phased out opposing actions (+ ve and – ve inotrophic, bathmotropic, dromotropic and chronotropic actions on heart) and exhausting one another
c) Metabolic changes corresponding to catabolic excess and/or anabolic exhaustion in terms of increases in the fatty acids, cholesterol, triglycerides, glucose, amino acids
d) Constriction of the vessels of kidneys resulting in increase in rennin angiotensisn activity and subsequent increase in blood pressure
e) The root cause of spasms in coronary (heart) blood vessels is also acute and/or chronic over activity of sympathetic nervous system; due to acute or chronic stress.
f) The root cause of atherosclerosis; is the increased friction and mechanical damage and roughening of the constricting vessels; especially arterioles due to over activity of sympathetic nervous system.
It is agreed that some people would be genetically more prone to stress and subsequent ischemic heart disease and blood pressure. But that does not disprove or even create a doubt about the hypothesis of stress as a root cause of bad lipids, spasms and atherosclerosis and subsequent ischemic heart disease and essential (idiopathic) hypertension.
g) One can read the pathophysiology text books and then think about confirming or ruling out (through statistical surveys, clinical studies, experimental work etc.) this hypothesis.
h) However; till then; we can apply common sense and reason out; how stress and its inappropriate management can disturb the metabolic, endocrine, neuroendocrine, autonomic nervous and central nervous activities and influence various tissues including heart vessels and other blood vessels in body.
i) It is important to remember that the damaging stress is often subconscious; and is present even during sleep and embryonic life and hence goes unnoticed.
The conclusion of this brief hypothesis; is that the first line preventive as well as healing measure (treatment) for ischemic heart disease and essential hypertension (and several other diseases mentioned in my book on Total Stress Management); is the practice of NAMASMARAN, which is the core of Total Stress Management!
