YOGA AND STRESS: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

One of the causes of failure in TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT; is; reducing the concept of yoga; to mere physical postures, breathing techniques, kriyas and dietary control. This trivialized yoga; is hyped, sold and purchased; for petty 'gains' and/or sickening gratification of ego!

This way we cannot manage the individual and global stress; which is in the form of deception, deceit, delirium, delusion, despondency, despair, defeat, degeneration, degradation, destruction and devastation!

However; we need not condemn others or ourselves for this.

In stead; we should use this great opportunity; to explore, understand, appreciate, practice and propagate yoga which is a process of evolving and practicing;
1. The perspective of global unity and harmony,
2. The thoughts and policies of global welfare,
3. Motivation and concern for global welfare,
4. Mutually gratifying and satisfying instincts
5. Activities conducive to individual and universal blossoming;
through; NAMASMARAN; the other measures, procedures and techniques (including those in hathayoga); being adjuvant.

STRESS BEEF AND COW DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Many fail to understand and appreciate how personal stress and social stress multiply each other and how we contribute to stress in our own personal life as well as social life!

This is why; we try to manage stress through the workshops, seminars, lectures and counseling about stress management; revolving around; mere relaxation techniques, yogasanas
such as shavasana, meditation, diet, rituals, pendants and lockets! It is our common experience that even as these programs and solutions provided therein; are palliative, refreshing, consoling and soothing; they do not empower us to go to the root of stress and emerge winners in Total Stress Management. We go on beating around the bush, in vain hope!

Let us realize that; it is extremely important to understand, appreciate and internalize; that individual, stress; interact and multiply one another. Conversely, stress management at family, local, national and global levels and individual levels also complement one another!

Hence Total Stress Management involves; going to the root of the problems through holistic perspective, policies, plans and their implementation at local, national and global levels.

The case in point is the slaughter of animals for gratifying our technologically empowered highly sophisticated and fashionable; carnivorous craze of born from perversion of hunger and thirst for blood and flesh.

Ayurveda has gifted the world civilization; the wisdom of consuming cow urine; as a therapeutic agent. We ridicule the idea! We do not bother to even study; if the cow and other products are really beneficial for health and if so; in what way and how.

Having said that; today we must realize; that mere usefulness of cow urine or other animal products constitute somewhat utilitarian view point! It is not wrong when utility to the mankind is considered, but it is not holistic enough for Total Stress Management!

Stress springs through our non-holistic petty perspective and multiplies through; our petty policies, plans and actions. Hence we need holistic perspective that is mutually beneficial and blossoms the entire universal life from inside and outside.

Presently we are being governed by superficiality, pettiness, dullness, lassitude, parasitism, individualistic obsessions, and many perverted elements (which we often justify and feel proud of) at the cost of other living beings.

When we consume meat and relish it; we are ACTUALLY eating dead bodies of animals (necrophagia) and their urine and dung (urophagia and coprophagia), which our conscience never approves! This is how we invite stress and spread it!

We are not exercising "freedom to eat animals” but actually; we are "slaves of our cruel obsession of indiscriminate and perverted violence in killing and devouring dead animals" and vulgarly glorifying and glamorizing it as the ultimate pleasure in life! Our shameless hype of eating animals; leads to detrimental perpetuation of the perversion; and the stress; into the next generations far and wide in the world!

Through NAMASMARAN (The core of TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT); we can evolve holistic perspective, policies, plans, and their implementation, which involve; in this case; steps such as; not adoring, not glorifying, not promoting, not teaching, not practicing, not encouraging; and gradually but definitely stopping; BY LAW; the animal killing for “relishing” flesh and blood; while simultaneously creating better job options; for all those dependent for their survival; on such killings. This is one of the several accurate steps involved; in Total Stress Management.

STRESS RATIONALISM AND ATHEISM DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
=====================================================
One of the causes of stress; in individual and social life; is; division in the society into theists (believers) and atheists (disbelievers); believers and disbelievers in a reality beyond the realm of individual's (so called) wisdom; respectively.

One of the all time geniuses and devoutly worshiped as the God Himself; Jnaneshvar Maharaj (13th century) explains this dilemma. He writes in in Amrutanubhav (Literally; "Experience of Immortality"):

परी आणिका का आपणया
न पुरे विखो होआवया
म्हणोनी न असावया
कारण की
श्लोक 32, प्रकरण 4, अमृतानुभव.
ग्रंथकार: ष्री ज्ञानेश्वर महाराज.t

The essence in English:
The ultimate reality (God, Paramatma etc); is beyond the realm and horizons of human conceptualization and consciousness. Hence many find enough reason to negate the reality and become atheists.

The essence (भावार्थ) in Marathi:
परमात्मा स्वत:ला; ( खुद्द परमात्म्याला) किंवा दुसर्‍याला; ( जाणीवेच्या कक्षेत सामावला जाउन); "जाणण्याचा विषय; म्हणजे ज्ञेय बाब" होऊ शकत नाही. त्यामुळे तो नाहीच असे मानण्यास व म्हणण्यास ( बाह्यत:, वरपांगी पाहता; सबळ) कारण मिळते.

(The atheists disapprove the "existence of God" and "theism". They dismiss the universally benevolent ways of realizing this reality; viz. NAMASMARAN, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN, JAAP, JAP, POOJA; as useless or counterproductive. They thus fanatically believe "their own understanding as the ultimate reality".

The theist or believers; who do not know that ultimate reality is "Experience of Immortality" believe in their own imagination a kind, merciful and protector God as ultimate reality.

The TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT requires that we rise above such theism and atheism...and simply follow the practice of NAMASMARAN, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN, JAAP, JAP; as instructed by our GURU, the immortal reality personified".

STRESS AND GLOBAL RECESSION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

The root cause of global recession is the overpowering dominance of petty and tubular perspective over holistic perspective; in different fields. In other words; mean selfishness has overpowered the holistic aspirations of global welfare. We must appreciate that the very nature of petty perspective; is to enhance antagonism and suppress the holistic perspective that consolidates complementarity, inclusive growth and harmony.
This conflict is not new. But it has crossed the regional and national boundaries and hence its impact has become global.
How does petty perspective cause global recession?
Petty perspective is born out of slavery of incessant inner cravings for physical, monetary, political, cultural and other kinds of supremacy and control; beyond physiological needs. It results in unscrupulous pursuits towards gratification of these cravings.
Thus the industrialists prefer to nurture, encourage, enhance and promote such basal and morbid cravings and thrive on them by producing in excess and selling; weapons of mass destruction, cosmetics, sexual stimulants; and so on. The political leaders prefer to encourage such industries and we due to our obliviousness of the reality; prefer to support such political leaders.
If we take the example of medical business; it excessively emphasizes on individual fitness (as against holistic health) profitable to sell their products in the form tonics, exorbitant spas, so called fitness clubs and so on. The political leaders obsessed with petty gains encourage this in exchange for party funds and bribe. The medical experts drowned in petty pursuits support such industries favoring the hegemony of respective different systems of medicine (as against holistic medicine). We; due to our own pettiness support such industries and policies.
As a result of this; the economic activities in different fields of life revolve around the petty perspective and lead to exorbitant growth of utilities and services for the benefit of few! Thus in poor countries also we find; markets of jewelry, five star and seven star hotels and hospitals, unproductive glamour, wasteful glitter, petty luxuriousness and vulgar yet expensive entertainment.
These economic activities make few of us rich, glamorous, arrogant, but hollow, weak and sick. As a result of petty perspective these few are glorified by most major players of mass communication and most of us worship such petty achievements!
But since a majority of us do not have money to avail these five star services; the sale begins to fall. Then the rabid competition begins. This is often called free market economy, free competition etc. This involves frantic and unscrupulous efforts to market these useless and/or counterproductive commodities and services, through mutually exploitative ways of promotion; involving colossal waste!
The sickeningly rich amidst us; sustain the sale of such commodities and services for some time. In fact the economy appears to be strong and booming; due to the show; of glamour and glitter! But soon these industries begin to slow down due to lack of customers. They are still sustained by the political leadership through loans, subsidies and waving of loans. In other words; public funds are pumped in these dying ventures and most of us; tax payers; are further throttled!
The sham industrial growth due to its petty perspective and mutually antagonistic and wasteful activities; and throttling deprivation of billions of us, whose buying power gets desiccated/atrophied; races towards decay! The industrial profits begin to fall and the share prices plunge.
Since the money pumped in these businesses, whether by governments or investors’, is essentially our money (which would have been potentially useful for the global development); we the common people all over the world suffer maximum, the investors with buffering power suffer less and the business houses with much greater buffering power; suffer least; as the loans are often waved!!
Many of us suffer miserably and try to find solutions through movements against exploitation and corruption; but it can succeed only if we internalize holistic perspective, which embodies sublimation of inner cravings in realizing complementarity, inclusive growth and harmony; i.e. holistic renaissance. How can this be done?
1. The children have to be introduced to the measures of inner blossoming (to evolve holistic perspective and realize holistic renaissance); such as hymns, prayers, jikra and NAMASMARAN; right from the beginning.
2. The productive domain must be nurtured and the “epidemic of wasteful learning of unproductive activities” leading to scarcity of jobs and subsequent evils should be eradicated on war footing urgently and seriously.
3. The concept and practice of holistic medicine has to be evolved.
4. The concept of holistic health has to be evolved and practiced in all the fields of life; so as to make them complementary and synergistic and NOT petty, mutually antagonistic and detrimental to the mankind. Thus; the industrial, agricultural, horticultural and other productions and services; must subserve the fulfillment of physiological needs of all; and not the morbid interests, whims and fancies of few.
5. The further details however; can be worked out and evolved by the experts with holistic perspective in the different fields.

(Patient information sheeth)
Fracture Nasal Bone
The disease: This is a common condition where the bone on your nose gets fractured and leads to either disfigurement and /or nasal obstruction
Diagnosis : This is done based on examination of patient. A Xray is don’t just to confirm the diagnosis. However clinical examination of patient remains the main stay for diagnosis

You will be kept hospitalized for 1-2 days. This might be different for each patient.
A plaster of paris ( POP) cast would be kept on the nose to support and stabilize the reduced fracture. This has to be kept for 7-10 days. After that POP has to be kept only while sleep.
There is no specific dietary restriction after the surgery.
