STRESS
MANAGEMENT
POSSIBLE?

How to correlate the concept of stress
management with the suffering and sacrifices of individuals for others? Is the suffering for others is opposed to STRESS MANAGEMENT?

Does “stress management” mean “being mean and happy?” Does it mean that the suffering of great or saintly personalities has no place in stress management?

My answer is:
The great individuals
A] could not be truly comfortable in the usual indulgences. They always were obsessed with the welfare of mankind. They might differ in their vision and solutions, but they were forerunners of Total Stress Management!

B] When I studied the stress from physiological, patho-physiological and holistic point of view, I thought that we are stressed by millions of stressors including; poverty, ignorance, crimes, perversions, diseases and misery of every kind. But the common denominator in all these is PETTINESS!

C] I thought practice of NAMASMARAN could bring about spiritual blossoming from pettiness by transforming us from within and thereby transform our perspective, policies and plans so as to unite and tangibly transform the whole world!

This concept and the question “Is Stress Management Possible?” are open for verification and investigation respectively!
