STRESS ROMANCE AND RATIONALITY DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Thursday, 22nd March 2012
One of the moot questions; is; how do billions of people live throughout with their spouse, till they die? What is the nature of bond between them?
Another moot question is; why and how are millions of people devotees of some body or else and practice some or other kind of religious rituals every day and throughout their life? What is it that motivates the people to devote their lives; for their guru, their deity or their leader? What is it that bonds them with their idol?
The rationalists try to analyze life. But beyond a point; the core of the life viz. the human bonds; cannot be analyzed. We can only experience and appreciate them!
Up to a certain stage of development; romance is a physiological need and hence an unwritten, yet inbuilt goal of life. There is definitely a sense of fulfillment and achievement in life, as and when one falls in love that culminates in a family and later a pedigree! In human beings; this fulfillment has physiological as well as social, religious, and ideological ingredients!
This fulfillment is however; insufficient after a certain stage of development (not necessarily age). Hence the people of various ages and different backgrounds; turn to some one whom they instinctively identify as their own leader, guru or deity; and follow, devote to; or worship him or her; respectively! This is a transition from jismani (physiological) to ruhani (spiritual or divine) mohabbat (romance).
Thus the natural leaders with different intellectual and spiritual stature; are gifted with; an inbuilt “concern” for the people of their race, religion, nation and at a highest stage of their development; for the whole mankind or universe! They and their followers have matching and fitting points in their personalities. They get bonded like the antigen – antibody or receptor – ligand; which bind with high specificity and high affinity.
It is not possible to prove this, but can be appreciated.
What is the role of rationality?
Rationality is important for us; to understand that the stupidity, ignorance and pettiness ditch us into the abyss of individual and global disagreement, discord, degeneration, derangement, disease, decay and destruction; and to reach divine romance, we have to first overcome these basal, barbaric and beastly elements inside us and also outside us!
But since the same rationality often laden with ego; may justify our pettiness; we need to purify it. We need NAMASMARAN for this ascent from the pettiness to physiological and human romance and there from the divine or universal romance! This is Total Stress Management!

YAJNYA, SACRIFICE AND NAMASMARAN DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Thursday, 22nd March 2012
Are Yajnya, sacrifice and namasmaran synonymous?
Yajnya is offering, sacrifice is also offering and NAMASMARAN is also offering!
Yajnya involves offering of different materials with a specified procedure.
Sacrifice also involves offering of possessions including the near and dear objects and entities.
The NAMASMARAN is a gradual process (of Yajnya and sacrifice) that involves the offering of perspective, thoughts, emotions, passions (instincts); and even the physical needs and existence.
Through NAMASMARAN; one realizes in the course of time; the subjective nature of one’s thoughts, emotions, instincts and material needs; resulting from the internal and external environment; and drops them (just as snake drops his skin) at the lotus feet of the objective consciousness i.e. guru.
The individual thus gets freed of all exasperating vacillations and agonizing burden of subjectivity; and enters into eternal freedom; while merging with NAMASMARAN. There onwards he or she; is assured that all his or her aspirations, duties and missions is being taken care of by objective or cosmic consciousness i.e. Almighty i.e. Guru.
The aspirations, duties and missions; no more remain “his” or “her”! They get freed from the subjective attachment (often resulting fanaticism), infatuations and frustrations; and blossom; into the aspirations of the entire universe (cosmic will); in true sense.
Does this really happen?
Yes. It does! But it is best to verify and tally my conviction and experience; with yours.

Some days we feel overtly stressed! We feel low. We feel helpless.
Given that the other things are fine, what is the reason for this?
Sometimes it is; the comments by family members, neighbors, friends, colleagues and newspapers etc. But most frequently the cause is in the vulgar and exploitative advertisements made by us.
Most of us are oblivious to our true selves. We dwell in the superficial planes of our being. Hence we participate in the making of such advertisements. We devote money, skills, expertise, talent and creativity or seductive bodies; to create the mind boggling mixing frames, captivating photographic tricks, stupefying music, mesmerizing glamour, thrilling stunts, tempting information and loud and aggressively coaxing message.
The message to the target population is that they are good for nothing without the product or service; promoted in our advertisement.
Naturally; the sale of ‘success toys’, ‘success chocolates’, ‘champion biscuits’, ‘style statement cold drinks’, ‘success foods’, ‘macho underwear’, ‘glamour/beauty soap’, ‘romantic toothpastes’ is multiplied, even as the buying power of billions is dwindled; as we succeed in creating artificial demand for our high profit unnecessary luxury products; amongst the elites!
We know what we are doing. We know that we don’t produce, harvest or manufacture what billions need, because the profit margin is low. Instead; we keep producing high profit unnecessary products and keep creating artificial demand and sales; amongst the few elites; with high buying power.
We know that this is STRESS PROMOTION! This is NOT at all conducive to; the inner blossoming; of us, the elites and the deprived billions. This is because; we are betraying our own conscience. We are traitors. We are infected by the virus of meanness; to our own and others’ detriment.
This is agonizing. But we forget the agonies; in the delirium of glamour, glitter, pomp, power and adoration and adulation (although hollow); we get.
Time and again we remember of our agony. We often seek the help of gurus, counselors and spiritual leaders. But somehow we are unable to break open the shackles and free ourselves! We begin to feel dejected and stressed!
We are captivated by the modern and mighty form of what has been referred to as MAYA for millennia!
The only way; is to evolve and implement holistic perspective, policies, plans and programs; in all the fields, at all the levels and in all the situations. This is possible; if we immunize and detoxify ourselves; with the most effective vaccine and antidote; the NAMASMARAN! This would deter us from promoting stress; and enable us to promote holistic health!

Some days we feel overtly stressed! We feel low. We feel helpless.
Given that the other things are fine, what is the reason for this?
If we stop for a while and look into ourselves to find out where exactly this lowliness has crept in our mind from; then often we can trace its source in the comments by family members, neighbors, friends, colleagues, newspapers etc. but most frequently in the contents of advertisements.
With the mind boggling mixing frames, captivating photographic tricks, stupefying music, mesmerizing glamour, thrilling stunts, tempting information, loud and aggressively coaxing message coated in enticing body exposure; the advertisements have an impressive audiovisual impact.
What is the impact? How does it cause the stress of lowliness?
The impact is; “We are deficient, pitiable and miserable, backward, stupid, imperfect, inadequate, impotent, unsatisfied, unhappy, low, unsuccessful, and at high risk; without the product or service; promoted in the advertisement”.
Thus knowingly or unknowingly; we start craving for ‘success toys’, ‘success chocolates’, ‘champion biscuits’, ‘style statement cold drinks’, ‘success foods’, ‘macho underwear’, ‘glamour/beauty soap’, ‘romantic toothpastes’ and so on! We begin to knowingly or unknowingly feel lowly, deprived and hence stressed!
If we buy some of these we are sickeningly proud and arrogant. If we cannot, then we are sickeningly meek and pitiable. In any case we suffer perennially and transmit it; to our family, friends and others.
This stress is further compounded by misinformation about ghee, coconut oil, un-iodized salt, Bengal gram and many other naturally occurring products and germs, apart from many other products and services.
This is the modern form of what has been referred to as MAYA for millennia! Hence no one escapes the stress; not even the STRESS PROMOTERS themselves!
Hence; ideally; there ought to be implementation of holistic perspective, policies, plans and programs; at all the levels and situations; to rectify this STRESS PROMOTION. But at our own levels we can immunize and detoxify ourselves from such stress; with the most effective vaccine and antidote; the practice and promotion of NAMASMARAN!

HEALTH AND SANSKRIT -- DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
Posted by on Thursday, 22nd March 2012
When and if we dare to introspect uninhibitedly and fearlessly, then we would notice that we are being overwhelmingly ruled by delirium of basal instincts from inside and outside. This is true in education, literature, art, drama, cinema, health care, technology and so on.
We are unable to feel, think, contemplate, study, experiment and practice anything whole heartedly and holistically. We have become listless.
This is especially evident in our utter neglect of Sanskrit on the one hand; and promotion of cheap and vulgar entertainment that drags us away from our soul; on the other!
This is like cutting the tree that sustains our life by giving us oxygen, fruits and shade; for generations.
We are fortunate if we recognize and rectify our blunder of neglecting Sanskrit and Sanskrit scholars; and begin to learn, teach, and do whatever possible to promote Sanskrit language and the special talent of Sanskrit chanting. The government, the political parties and the NGOs; all have the privilege to do this.
This is especially true for electronic media world over. It is certain that TV channels, who take up this challenge in the best interest of themselves and the mankind, are bound to succeed and benefit through divine the blessings. Their TRP also is bound to shoot up!
Promotion of Sanskrit language and the talent of Sanskrit chanting; is like retrieving the universal and infinite source of oxygen; and resuscitating, recuperating, revitalizing and rejuvenating ourselves from our morbid and moribund state!
