SPONTANEITY AND NAMASMARAN -- DR. SHRIIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Wednesday, 4th July 2012
NAMASMARAN is admired, appreciated and advised by hundreds of saints.
But apparently; few fortunate are haunted by the mystery of NAMA, fewer pursue it and still fewer persist on it! Amongst these; very few are convinced of its cosmic benevolence and take it upon them to spread the glory of NAMA.
But there is nothing to despair; as the experience, conviction and joy of NAMA; go on multiplying and deepening endlessly. The beginners as well as the veterans; all; have a spontaneous spring of ambrosia to manifest and nurture the mankind and the universe; at appropriate time.
Practitioners of NAMASMARAN actually go on “digging within them”; and in the course of time (and at appropriate time); the spontaneous spring of ambrosia begins to break open into a fountain. This gives indescribable, innate and yet universally benevolent ecstasy!
One may not believe in all this; but verify; if one wishes; the power of NAMASMARAN; by practice!

IDOLS, STRESS, VALUES AND HISTORY: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

IDOLS, STRESS, VALUES AND HISTORY: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
If the history books are studded with photographs and praise of invaders; and neglect of the freedom fighters and saints; then it creates conflicts. Same is true for the divisive (and hoax) theory of “Aryan invasion” that surreptiously indicts division into “Indigenous Dravids” and “Alien Aryans; and condemnation of certain rituals and traditions; suggesting indirectly; that all other religions; are better!
Severe stress; due to lack of accuracy and purpose in history; can culminate into prejudices, bitterness, bigotry, hatred, rivalry, fanaticism, unrest, riots, terrorism and so on.
When such superficial and petty teaching and/or propaganda are dominant; they suppress our inner growth, silence our inner voice and crush our conscience! We are attracted by the royalty and repelled by the poverty; tempted by the riches and repelled by the rags; excited by the abundance and depressed by the paucity and abstinence!
Even historians do not seem to grasp the undercurrents in history; which are probably beyond their comprehension!
Take for example; the depiction of personalities. The real heroes; the saints; appear sympathogenic (deserving sympathy or pity) and the film stars, the political leaders and other celebrities; appear intoxicatingly attractive and grand!
However, our education and acculturation; are often influenced by the geniuses of the particular period; who have almost realized truth. In addition; our values and our idols and ideals; are determined our constitutions, moods; and even whims and fancies!
Hence; even as; our values and idols; are conflicting; they are not blatantly superficial, shallow, and petty or mean. Our yardsticks for idolization and idealization are NOT uniformly retrogressive. Our values are not uniformly vulgar and/or antisocial. They are multifarious; with various complexities and shades. They are evolved subconsciously; and shaped mysteriously! Hence; strange it may appear; but our values and idols do not conform to only our superficial perceptions!
Thus our idols are violent (war heroes such as Chatrapati Shivaji), nonviolent (Buddha, Gandhi, Mahavir, Jesus Christ), economically rich (Bill Gates), economically poor (Vinoba Bhave), physically strong (Mohammed Ali, Dara Singh), physically weak (Srinivas Ramanujam, yogis (Patanjali) and indulgent (kings); and those who served in British Service; (British Army, Police, Administration); and freedom fighters!
To overcome our stress resulting from conflicts; we have to introspect and find out what determines our apparently opposite values and idols! All our idols; are larger than “routinely perceived concept of individual life”! They have manifested the vision and actions (although at times contradictorily); involving the well being of a sizeable section; or whole society; and/or they have transcended the usual human needs, greed, worries and capacity, in their respective fields!
We often feel that the solutions of our opposing idols are final, exclusive and can bring about permanent and everlasting heaven on earth.
But; how can there be a permanent heaven on earth; and of what nature; and how can millions of generations of living forms (living and to be born); conform to our ideas? Is it sensible; to impose a hope of illusive heaven; on ourselves; and/or on others?
This implies that; stress of history, ideals, values, ideologies and idols; can be managed totally; if we demystify all opposing values and idols and go to their eternal center; by blossoming from within and being objective. This is possible; but not by merely reading and discussions; but through the practice of NAMASMARAN as assured by the immortal gurus.

STRESS AND FREEDOM: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

STRESS AND FREEDOM: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
We experience STRESS; when our freedom is jeopardized.
In cellular jails the freedom is throttled in terms of even making movements and meeting people apart from all other things. Vast majority of suffer from lack of freedom of availability; of security, food, water, clothes, shelter, health care and education.
Lack of freedom of building shelters, cultivating and using medicinal herbs, cultivating land, running businesses etc; because of coercive and harrowing license system; or throttling restrictive laws; is denial of freedom.
Lack of freedom of moving to other countries, doing business in other countries, expressing ourselves in paintings, music, literature, movies, dramas and so on; is also a STRESSOR.
Lack of freedom from superstitions is also a major STRESSOR!
Thus; both the atheism and theism harbor the superstition of believing blindly; in existence and nonexistence of God.
The word existence is actually very deep and meaningful. We tend to ignore the deeper aspects of this word! Existence of a stone, existence of electricity, existence of laser rays, existence of space, existence of time, existence of a bird, existence of a boy, existence of mind, existence of feeling, existence of thoughts all are described by a single word existence. As a result of ignoring the different meanings of the word “existence”, the followers of so called atheism and theism go on arguing endlessly! Due to lack of appreciation of these meanings of the word, the truth i.e. the sense of satisfaction, unity, fearlessness, joy etc. keep on eluding us.
Let us understand that The God does not “exist” and does not “non-exist”; in routine sense of the word existence! The God experience is beyond the routine, crude and restrictive meaning of the word “exist”!
Lack of freedom to assert our conscience causes major STRESS. This is due to obstacles in our blossoming; such as; bigotry, religious and racial impositions, vested interests, fanaticism, terrorism, and pettiness of perspective, policies, plans, programs, and transactions inside and outside us! This imprisonment is fortified by restrictive laws, conventions, traditions, fashions, beliefs, films, literature, media and advertising.
Lack of freedom to be together (physically and mentally) also causes STRESS. We do not realize the unifying link, between us and others. Actually; every particle is connected by gravity, space, time and so on, and similarly but not exactly in the same way; we are connected with others; through consciousness.
When we define and hail political freedom; we have to consider these different aspects of freedom and see; whether majority of us in the world are FREE! Then we can work together; for total freedom to realize the unifying link. Moreover; through our perspective, thinking, policies, plans, administration, arts and creative efforts; create an atmosphere conducive to such individual and universal blossoming.
This is possible through the practice NAMASMARAN (JAAP, JAP, JIKRA) i.e. reorientation and realizing true self; supplemented by complementary efforts; in different walks of life. This is a process of overcoming subjectivity and being objective as taught by the immortal gurus; and is a core of Total Stress Management, superliving or holistic renaissance.

STRESS AND CONCEPTUAL STRESS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Saturday, 26th May 2012
STRESS AND CONCEPTUAL STRESS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Conceptual stress is not a separate entity. It is a part of over all process of stress. We can also call it intellectual confusion, doubts, chaos, conflicts, suspicions etc; born; out of physical, metabolic, endocrine, autonomic, and nervous i.e. instinctual, emotional and intellectual interactions; with internal and external environment.
It is true that we should manage to bypass or ignore some questions, and rightly so; e.g. mathematical problems need not; as a routine, bother a biologist. Similarly, the problems of school children are best dealt with in the text-books and guides and the experts in those fields; and need not worry a musician.
But there are issues which are a) inevitable b) inseparable c) unavoidable, d) faced by most of us; and affect our personal, family and social life; as well as the life of the society as a whole; immensely. These issues produce Conceptual or Intellectual Stress!
In modern life; the pace of life has become very fast. The nature of the influences of the scientific and technological advances is much more complex and there are rapidly emerging new issues and we are unable to understand and deal with them. Morality, ethics, customs, traditions and conventions, which guided us in past; are being proved inadequate and/or irrelevant!
Conceptual stress results from day to day questions; such as celibacy or free sex, divorce no divorce, legalization of homosexuality or no, caste based reservations or no, charity or SWADHARMA, vegetarianism or non vegetarianism, theism or atheism, rationality or shraddha, productive element in education or no; and so on!
Health related issues are even more troublesome. Thus complexity, mysteriousness and dread of; AIDS, cancer, diabetes, heart disease, muscular dystrophy; cause stress.
To give a simple example, excessive and unfounded fear of cancer; is a case of conceptual stress. Cancer phobia many times results from inappropriate views, feelings and actions (conceptual deficiency) about cancer, its nature, its symptoms such as pain and its outcome.
A patient of cancer phobia may suspect that he/she has cancer, whenever he/she gets pain. If he/she gets repeated pain, in a particular organ then he/she starts suspecting cancer of that particular part! This leads to morbid fear, anxiety, worry, and sense of helplessness; due to imagination of pain, agonies and physical, mental, economic and social dependence helplessness.
Conceptual stress involves:
1. Defective or inaccurate perceptions, imagination, ideas, thoughts, guesswork;
2. Lopsided, disproportionate imbalanced emotions;
3. Unreasonable instincts and unnatural physical needs,
These are associated with disturbed rates, interrelationships and proportions in electrophysiological interactions in brain, secretion of neurotransmitters, hormones; and metabolic activities. These cause deleterious effects on personal and social health.
“Conscious” conceptual stress is minimal or absent if we are totally ignorant and adjusted to a self centered, petty, indifferent, reflexive, passive, callous and stereotyped life style like a lower animal. But still; there can be “subconscious” stress; and it can play havoc!
Conceptual stress is not merely determined by the technological advances and their complex effects; but also by our nature, constitution and overall resilience, tenacity, fighting spirit, patience, killer instinct and objectivity. Confusing information about the risk of computers and mobile phones, radiations of mobile towers, swine flu, bird flu, chicken Gunia, cyber crimes; creates stress.
Maximum conceptual stress is developed; when begin to grow. As our perspective assumes global dimension our thinking reaches out to probe into; and explore the mysteries of various natural phenomena, our feelings reach out to the miseries of the millions including animals; the conceptual stress multiplies! This stress amongst Swami Vivekananda, Mahatma Gandhi, Lokamanya Tilak and others; gave new light to world.
Our conceptual stress also; increases as we search for solutions to the conflicting situations and observations and inexplicable issues and come close to the solutions; but encounter difficulty in expressing them! This becomes more disturbing when our solutions are proved ineffective, though not inaccurate! Since we seem to fail we get quite stressed in persisting with our views and mission; but cannot abandon them too! We are in agony! Why are we ineffective if we are accurate?
At this point the very foundation of our existence begins to shake and our existence almost gets uprooted! But through this devastating dark night; dawns; the capacity to assert ourselves and conquer the stressors on the one hand; and there is visible benevolent impact of Total Stress Management on the other!
The key factors involved throughout; is NAMASMARAN, which is very simple. There is no need of any technique, money, methodology, technology, cooperation; or anything for that matter. It is beyond all kinds of “barriers and walls” of beliefs and non beliefs. It is a super-solution provided by the immortal galaxy of saints, seers and sages; from round the globe, but most importantly by Shri Brahmachaitanya Maharaj Gondavlekar.
Lastly; every one of us is bound to go through the conceptual stress knowingly or unknowingly and hence; there is no escape. We can conquer it through NAMASMARAN (remembering our true self); and get the empowerment and enlightenment; and vision, clarity and clues; to individual and global blossoming; or else; suffer and inflict others with our suffering.

PRACTICE, PREACHING AND PROMOTION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

PRACTICE, PREACHING AND PROMOTION: DR. SHRINIWAS
KASHALIKAR
It is often said that practice is more important than merely preaching and promotion. This is obviously true; in case of those who preach and promote something for petty gains; and practice something else; for money, power, adulations or more lowly gains; at the cost of others.
But this is also true for those who unknowingly preach and promote NAMASMARAN more; and practice less!
Why does this happen?
Living (practice); and sharing (preaching and promotion) of impressions, understanding and experiences; go hand in hand!
We tend to preach and promote more; because we share a common dream with the whole world; the dream of global welfare. This is called (VISHVACHE ARTA by Saint Dnyaneshvar). But we rarely identify it; and unknowingly are charged and possessed by it according to our predisposition and capability.
Some of us get satisfied with ad hoc (incomplete, superficial and symptomatic) solutions; and enter political, social, commercial, artistic, academic, industrial, agricultural, philanthropic careers.
Some are not satisfied with ad hoc solutions; and try to go deeper to realize the dream of universal welfare.
Out of these; some get lost into the fleeting ideologies, unrealistic concepts and self deception. They come to terms with the deception and in turn; deceive people under the guise of political revolution, spiritual renaissance, sat yug and so on!
While remaining few; try to go to the roots of the problems for realizing the dream of global unity and harmony; with holistic perspective. They almost reach holistic solutions in terms of universal perspective, policies, plans and actions. The most important common factor amongst them is the indescribable bond of blossoming together.
NAMASMARAN is found to be the eternal source of holistic solutions; and in NAMASMARAN; there is an experience of the whole universe coming closer. Due to this experience; people cannot resist themselves from preaching and promoting NAMASMARAN; in every possible way; as a matter of greatest privilege, golden opportunity.
But still; it must be clarified here; that the practice of NAMASMARAN is far more real, vital, crucial to us; and the welfare of universe; than preaching and promotion.
The practice however; at times can be tiring; and hence the next best thing to do is; preaching and promotion.
In view of the overwhelming dark forces; the preaching and promotion are very much needed; so as to inform and inspire (not coax) maximum people; for the inner blossoming through NAMASMARAN. However; if we do not practice, then we are likely not to blossom from within and not get the objective experience of universal benevolence (BHAKTI); and hence indulge in loud propaganda, gaudy advertisements and create aversion and repulsion about NAMASMSRAN!
