STRESS VIOLENCE AND NONVIOLENCE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
=====================================================
INDISCRIMINATE VIOLENCE AND INDISCRIMINATE NONVIOLENCE
These are like short circuiting. They manifest through an individual due to inappropriate communication through nerve impulses (energy flow); from and towards the brain. These usually result from extreme subjective and subcortical responses. Indiscriminate violence towards others or towards self; is detrimental to; inner and outer; and individual and global blossoming.
Indiscriminate nonviolence e.g. not killing the mosquitoes, virulent bacteria, rabid dogs etc. is equally counterproductive and hindrance to inner and outer prosperity and profundity.
Therefore, “indiscriminate violence and nonviolence” in the form of impulsive or planned activity (perspective, policy, program); by individuals, groups or governments; is neither conducive nor justifiable, for the welfare of a person or mankind.
The globally benevolent perceptions, emotions, passions, instincts and personal and social actions are and should be; aimed at rectification of; impulsive, mean, cruel or stupid and hence “indiscriminate violent or indiscriminate nonviolent” concepts and practices; hazardous to universal emancipation.
Thus “indiscriminate violence” in the form of exploitation, repression, fanaticism, terrorism, cheating and torture; of innocent people; and the massive propaganda of the “indiscriminate nonviolence”; go on incessantly and hand in hand!
They are supported by genuinely kind; but unwise proponents of “indiscriminate nonviolence” who unknowingly accept and subject themselves to indiscriminate violence!
Thus “indiscriminate violence” multiplies exponentially because “justifiable and essential therapeutic violence” against such “indiscriminate violence”; is paralyzed by the hypocritical preaching or gullible propaganda of “indiscriminate nonviolence”!
It is important to understand urgently; that “destruction of diseased cells benefits the diseased patient for recovery to health; and hence the global conscience must rise against concepts and practices of; “indiscriminate violence” and “indiscriminate nonviolence” (both being harmful to blossoming of mankind). It is urgent to employ wherever necessary, “a well meaning globally beneficial, surgically skilled, appropriate, disciplinary, corrective and “nonviolent violence” to effectively and rapidly curb the indiscriminate violence and indiscriminate nonviolence; towards self and others; by state agencies and non state entities.
This is essential for creating a world where even this sort of “therapeutic and nonviolent violence”; would not be required.
NAMASMARAN enables us to acquire this enlightened wisdom and overcome indiscriminate, unwise, unjust and suicidal conception and practice of indiscriminate violence and indiscriminate nonviolence!
KILLING
Killing is not a homogenous phenomenon. Killing of different species such as viruses, ricketssiae, fungi, protozoa, mosquitoes, cockroaches, hens, cocks, goats, sheep, pigs, cows, buffalos, monkeys and human beings is not the same thing.
Killing to protect a species such mankind from epidemics and pandemics, killing to protect oneself from death and disease, killing to eat and survive, killing to prepare utilities such as warm clothes to survive, killing to extract medicinal material, killing to prepare delicacies for gustatory pleasure (pampering one's taste), killing to prepare fashionable items for showcasing, or show off, killing for petty personal gains such as profit, killing to extract so called aphrodisiacs (sexual stimulants); and killing just for the sake of killing (and brutal gratification) are different.
VIOLENCE AND GITA
The use of the word “YUDDHA” i.e. war has lead to many misconceptions about Gita. One of them is that; Gita advocates violence.
It is because of our intellectual, conceptual and emotional bankruptcy that we are unable to understand that; the meaning of “death” is forgetting one’s self; and any activity in personal and social life conducive to such forgetting of one’s true self, is violence and ADHARMA.
The word “PRANASHYATI” is used in 6th chapter, 9th chapter and also 18th chapter to clearly indicate that forgetting one’s true self is death.
True violence is intellectual, emotional, instinctual and physical action conducive to forgetting one’s true self, which involves “forgetting” one’s father, mother, brother, sister, teacher, friend, society and so on. This; as everyone knows; is associated with overtly mean, individualistic and ungrateful behavior which is violence!
Gita asks us to remember and focus on our true self so that our behavior remains oriented to self realization. This is called YOGA in Gita and is called ANUSANDHAN in other spiritual parlance.
This focusing and remaining oriented is not easy. There are many detractors within and outside forcing oneself and the others to forget the true self (violence and ADHARMA), which come in the way of self realization; and consequent socially beneficial behavior!
Gita advocates participating in the war against such violence and ADHARMA.
Namasmaran reorients us to our true selves. It empowers us to fulfill our role in any given situation in an accurate and satisfactory manner to defeat true violence i.e. forgetting true self (ADHARMA) and promote; true nonviolence i.e. reorientation to true self (DHARMA). This is called DHARMYA YUDDHA (not DHARMA YUDDHA) in Gita.

ESSENCE OF YOGA: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Saturday, 28th April 2012
ESSENCE OF YOGA: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Five intrinsic aspects of yoga:
1. One of the basic elements in human life is that; we sense the environment and respond to it. There is a sequence of stimulation, integration and motor activity; or cognition, affect and conation; or perception, feelings and behavior; and stimulus, homeostatic change and response! Appropriateness of this sequence is essence of yoga.
When this sequence is deranged; in quantity, frequency, rhythm, quality and proportions; it is called stress. Since; stress is a lack of yoga in life!
2. Yoga is integration of; prefrontal cortex; and left and right parietal (cerebral) cortexes. It is also the integration of metabolic, endocrine, autonomic and central nervous activities; and global perspective, thoughts, emotions, instincts and actions. In other words; it is the experience the union (YOGA) of individual and universal consciousness; and its concerted expression in every sphere of life.
3. Yoga constitutes the unification that wields; every moment in our life; with love. Hence there is no “vacancy” for deception and deceit. There is no “room” for delirium and delusion. There is no “space” for despondency, despair and degeneration. There is no “chance” for degradation, decomposition, destruction and devastation!
4. Yoga is an ecstatic union! The union however is increasingly difficult at physical, instinctual, emotional, intellectual and spiritual levels. Interestingly; it is also increasingly more complete longer lasting; at every level of these! The highest kind of union is at spiritual level and embodies all the other levels, and is seen amongst the guru and shishya i.e. the master and disciple. Hence all differences, disputes and contradictions; dissolve in spiritual union within oneself and between the guru and shishya.
Lack of yoga; is disintegration of our personality; that reflects in personal and social life! Thus even if a person is intelligent in terms of memory, analytical thinking, and innovation; i.e. (left cerebral development); he/she can be vicious, perverted and antisocial if not balanced and integrated with right brain.
Conversely mere development of right cerebral cortex is not adequate. This is because, if the utopia, benevolence, kindness, and subtle artistic and poetic feelings are not buttressed and supported by reasoning; then they are rendered lame and futile. In fact; they can be counterproductive as; the barbaric elements within us; can take undue advantage of them.
In short in both cases; there is inability to realize the unity of universe. There is inability to understand the interrelationship, interactivity, interdependence and complementarity in various fields of transactions such as agriculture, science, technology, industry, trade, culture, and politics!
This inability leads to sectarian prejudices and fanatic bigotry; even amongst rational and intelligent; and kindhearted and generous gentle men/women. This is a fundamental cause of discord and chaos, which leads to hatred, exploitation and crimes; and averts the emergence of justice.
Hence some mediocre techniques; hyped and sold; merely for some petty personal or mercenary gains or gratification of ego; are NOT yoga!
This era is especially and uniquely conducive to yoga; as explained above; by virtue of speedy means of transport; and communication and networking through satellite and information technology.
5. The final stage of yoga; is beyond all this. It is not intelligible. It constitutes the union of all these three components (cognition, affect and conation) of the sequence. Thus a profoundly evolved yogi; would be seen as if he is not doing any thing but in fact he is sensing beyond all sensory capacities, he is feeling beyond all subjective emotional depths and he is responding beyond anything “apparent” in action!
He is free from slavery of the intellectual, emotional, instinctual and physical vacillations; due to ups and downs of the hormones and the neurotransmitters.
This is yoga (union); where impeccable and accurate perception, pinnacle of individual satisfaction and infinitely exuberant benevolence for the universe; unite with (as they begin from and end in the same) absolute consciousness; and constitutes the final destiny of individual and universal blossoming!
In nutshell;
Yoga is a program of individual and global welfare (inseparably connected, which is essence of yoga); inseparably integrated (again the essence of yoga) with;
• The perspective of global unity and harmony,
• The thoughts and policies of global welfare,
• Motivation and concern for global welfare,
• Healthy and mutually gratifying and satisfying instincts and
• Sharing of resources on a “just” basis at personal and global levels!
The immortal gurus say that; NAMASMARAN is the essence of yoga.

2. Eating two leaves of neem, Tulasi and Bel each
3. Chyavanaprash 1 tea spoonful daily
4. Drinking a cup of cow milk; with turmeric (Halad), dry ginger (Sunth) and honey (Madh)
5. Practice of kapalbhati (active abdominal expiration without discomfort; contraindicated in any wound on abdominal or related regions, surgery, hernia of any kind and pregnancy)
6. Taking bath twice a day.
7. Changing clothes twice a day

9. Capsule Becadexamin and Becosules.
10. Washing hands frequently (Suggested by Dr. Alka Halbe)
11. Avoiding lifts (elevators); and crowded and/or centrally air conditioned places; such as railway stations, cinema halls, theatres, malls respectively; if and when possible
12. Consuming juice of aloe vera (korphad i.e. kumari) and tinospora cordifolia (Giloy or Gulvel i.e. Guduchi) in addition to holy basil, neem and Bel (Promotion of plantation of the medicinal herbs; for the posterity)
13. Adding jaggery, pepper (kali mirch) and ginger in tea
14. Last but most important; is understanding; what actually health means.
Health is actually; evolving and applying holistic perspective, policies, plans, programs and their implementation; in personal and social life. This is different from the mediocre and selfish physical health. Hence we call it holistic or superhealth, which implies; individual and global blossoming i.e. holistic renaissance or superliving.
The common and simplest way for holistic or superhealth; according to the immortal leaders of mankind; is the practice of NAMASMARAN. It implies; remembrance of true self or cosmic self; and can be practiced according to one’s own religion or tradition; and does not involve any “conversion” or “imposition”!

STRESS AND SHAME: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

STRESS AND SHAME: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Shame is a disturbing feeling that emerges reflexly, automatically, involuntarily and often even in spite of our efforts to avoid it!
Shame seems to involve descent and fall in one’s own eye! Shame may lead to reactive and indiscriminate violence; towards others; and suicidal violence towards self.
Shame at individual level; is an unbearable state of lowliness, in which living appears impossible.
Shame is determined by certain neural structures (determined by genetic and epigenetic factors) and neural circuits, neurotransmitters, which are influenced by ethical beliefs, conventions, traditions, customs, social acceptance, approval, respectability etc on the one hand; and social, political, religious, cultural, racial; disapproval, rejection, persecution etc on the other!
Individual and mass shame; can be conscious or unconscious. It is often created in us; by false propaganda; and can force us into slavery and retreat for life time. Conversely, it can also compel us to be antinational, seditious and treacherous for life time. All this can be at national and international levels and for millennia.
It is interesting to note that shame disappears in lesions of a part of brain called temporal lobe e.g. Kluver Bucy Syndrome. It is interesting to note that such shamelessness is also experienced after consumption of alcohol!
Lack of shame coupled with callousness, viciousness, arrogance and self righteousness lead to aggressions, invasions, coercions, oppressions, conspiracies and exploitation. Thus; even as the shame as such; is destructive, the shamelessness leads to destructive, unjust and perverted behavior.
We have to understand whether we are drowned in conscious or unconscious shame and have become slavish; or we are shameless and perverted exploiters! It is however not easy to introspect and return to our natural, objective and magnanimous true self, merely by voluntary efforts.
But it is possible through NAMASMARAN, to rectify our shame and shamelessness as the case may be. NAMASMARAN is indeed preached by Mahatma Gandhi; and is extremely important for all the nations in the world to preserve and promote their sanity and normalcy; and to avoid being exploited or exploiters; or shameful or shameless!

STRESS AND DOUBTS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

STRESS AND DOUBTS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
As we go on studying the meaning, effects, causes, mechanism of stress; and the concepts and practice of Total Stress Management, we come across several doubts. This is common to sensitive, sensible and inquisitive individuals.
Even as there is a place for obedience, hard work, discipline, trust, faith, humility; it is imperative to have frank and open minded discussion and clarification of doubts. If we accept the Total Stress Management blindly, then it is counterproductive. The doubts themselves; produce stress! This stress keeps on eroding, suffocating and blocking our growth from within!
In fact; if we imbibe any ideology without doubting its validity; then we are likely to be blindfolded, fanatic, self righteous, and atrociously egoistic, mindless, whimsical and indiscriminately violent. Conversely; if we reject it blindly; then we miss the opportunity of study and progress; to our satisfaction.
It is true that all the doubts can not be cleared every time; and instantly. But in that case it is good to accept the concepts provisionally; and work on them sincerely and patiently for the answers; till we are totally satisfied!
Lastly; just as blind acceptance causes stress; even getting convinced from time to time and developing rational conviction (without actual participation in Total Stress Management); is counterproductive. In such cases; we tend to be cynical, melancholic, and sadistic and actually hamper the process of individual and social blossoming!
Hence; we have to assert the Total Stress Management; in day to day life in a buoyant and victorious manner! We have to evolve globally benevolent perspective, thoughts, policies and plans. We have to develop motivation, mobilization and activities; at individual and global levels and share all this; with others! This requires immense strength, broad heartedness and objectivity ensured in NAMASMARAN.
