STRESS AND MEDIA: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Media are analogous to the visual apparatus in the body of the human society. In Marathi and Sanskrit this is called SAMAJPURUSHA. The media personnel are analogous to the nerves in the visual apparatus. These nerves and visual apparatus; are conduits of the information.

Today; the visual apparatus; like many other organs of the SAMAJPURUSHA; is getting decomposed!

The media (and also those in advertisement, movies, TV serials, sports and politics) is going through a “Curse in Disguise”. This curse brings more money, more fame, more glamour, more popularity and more power; and bloats the ego and erodes from within! The information; then becomes self centered, self righteous and hence, eluding and misguiding.

It is said; that if a vast majority in the world; including the media personnel; exercises its right and privilege to practice NAMASMARAN; according its particular beliefs and traditions, then the conscience of the SAMAJPURUSHA would be rejuvenated to function optimally and the visual apparatus and the nerves would also be regenerated to bring in appropriate information.

NAMASMARAN is simple means. But it is only fair if we don’t take a casual approach and believe or disbelieve in it. To verify its scope and potentials; we have to study and practice it; objectively and selflessly. But objectivity and selflessness also blossom; through the practice of NAMASMARAN!
