REALITY AND STRESS MANAGEMENT: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKARMany prominent stress management experts advocate meditation for stress relaxation. In view of the social reality; it may be advisable to ask ourselves; following questions.
How can you feel relaxed by meditation even as you are commuting for about three to four hours every day for job?
How can you feel relaxed by meditation even as you are getting irritated due to the conditions of road, traffic jam, noise pollution, lack of adequate toilets and so on?
How can you feel relaxed by meditation even as you understand that excessive production and promotion of private vehicles is responsible for the killing chaos on roads, and yet; not be able to do anything about it?
How can you relax by meditation; when you know that lack of adequate public transport is aggravating these conditions, and still not be able to do anything about it and so get suffocated?
How can you feel relaxed by meditation when you are going through several such stressful issues; helplessly?
Are the strong advocates and protagonists of the meditation; aware of this; or; they themselves are they over ambitious about the efficacy of meditation; in individual and social life; because of illusions? Do they really feel that all the sociopolitical and economic problems would be solved by meditation; or they are helplessly trying to somehow; “market meditation”?
After having asked these questions about meditation; let us ask the following questions about NAMASMARAN, which is a core of Total Stress Management.
Does NAMASMARN require any specific conditions?
Does it require money?
Does it require any specific binding, compulsions, conditions etc?
Is it promoted and marketed on TV channels?
Are there any false claims about NAMASMARAN?
Is NAMASMARAN sold by franchise; as is the case with many types of meditation?
Doe it not give us SAT BUDDHI; to evolve global perspective, policy, plans, programs and empower us; in their execution for individual and global blossoming?
In short; does it not empower us; to engender objective holistic systemic changes; conducive to overcome stress; mentioned in above issues; in contrast to meditation, in which all this never intended?
