UNITY AND STRESS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Uniting, organizing and working together are natural in young age. In fact; they are important steps in stress management!

Naturally; and usually; we in India; get united in group activities. Thus; in villages; these are activities around the village temple; such as fairs, bhajans and various festivals and in towns and cities; music, dance, theater, sports, elocutions and other entertainments.

As we grow; many of us get united; in business, industries, cooperative factories, cooperative banks, union activities, political activities and so on!

Latter we unite for the welfare of a school, village, region, language, caste, religion, science; or other issues such as memorials, statues and philanthropic or charity activities.

But some of us; get united around studying and solving social problems and bring about socioeconomic and political revolution. However; the problems are not simple! Sometimes they are of immediate pertinence, such as accidents, disasters, crimes and coercive land acquisition or rehabilitation; but in other instances; they are long standing, wide spread and deep rooted; such as caste system, coercive traditions, and unjust laws. Many times the problems are even deeper, perplex and intricate!

We gradually realize; that our solutions; even though honest; are ad hoc, palliative and sometimes even sectarian; and not; radical, holistic and hence are unsatisfactory and ineffective.

As we mature; we realize that our SWADHARMA i.e. choicest activity in our life; is to explore and manifest; the hidden unity of the universe; and the harmony and complementarity; in the already existing organizations and institutions; through the study and practice; of Total Stress Management i.e. superliving, (the core of which is NAMASMARAN).
