Way back; when I used to read about the achievements of many illustrious and dedicated philanthropists; I used feel tremendous respect on the one hand and tremendous despair (stress) on the other, because of the lack of holistic perspective limiting their role; in the world politics for individual and global blossoming.

I am more than happy to see; most of the philanthropists realize this; and participate in politics i.e. policies, plans, programs and actions for public welfare (obviously not the dirty, party or petty politics)!

Many of us may not agree with the details of the agenda of these people. But I am very happy to see this happen; because it is indicative of the dawn of individual and global blossoming, in perspective, thoughts, feelings and actions.

World politics is; or rather ought to be; the expression of cosmic consciousness (converging into global consensus) with the perspective of individual and global blossoming.

Thus people of such perception and conviction, when identify, appreciate, come together and interact; the pragmatic aspects of actual means and modalities of actions get crystallized.

At present also this is happening, but in a rather imperfect, immature, inaccurate, insufficient, inadequate and ineffective manner. Primarily, this imperfection is that of perspective, conceptualization, conviction and actual experience or realization.

The millions of different needs, wants, likes, dislikes, virtues, vices, actions, interactions, contradictions, dialogues, hopes and despairs of billions of living beings; of different ages; with different geographical, political, social, economic, cultural and historical backgrounds; one thing in common. This lowest common denominator is the deep seated urge; for individual and global blossoming; either voluntary or involuntary and conscious or subconscious!

The visible hallmarks of this individual and global blossoming (though in formative or developing stage); are; millions of people being served food free of cost, millions of cows being cared for; as by Gondavle Sansthan, ISCKON and many other institutions, trees being planted by ISHA, millions of people being trained in yoga by Swami Ramdev and Patanjali Yogapeeth pariwar, Promotion and cultivation of herbal plants by Ahcarya Balkrishna, millions of people being trained in Sudarshan Kriya by Sri Sri Ravishankar and Art of Living pariwar, holistic medical practice by at least some holistic practitioners in the world and attempts towards justice in political, legal, economic, agricultural and health care areas, by many institutions and individuals all over the world.
But in addition to them I strongly feel that

* Universal Practice of NAMASMARAN i.e. remembering one’s true self (about whom we are usually oblivious), right from childhood, according to the particular tradition.
* Availability, upholding and promotion of safe drinking water and vegetarian food
* Redefining the “holistic health”; as “Optimal intellectual, emotional, instinctual and physical actions to promote individual and global blossoming, in one’s field”.
* Practice and promotion of Holistic Medicine; i.e. “the art, science and skills of employing everything effective; in regaining and promoting holistic health”, as; essential and inseparable core of mainstream Medical Education, Teaching, Practice and Research.
* Holistic Education with emphasis on a) the principles and preliminary practices of holistic health and holistic medicine, b) productive domain c) affective, cognitive and psychomotor domains, d) empowerment through NAMASMARAN e) practical productive progress, self sufficiency; research and teaching in all education institutions!
* Even the specialized institutions would not be exception to “earn and learn”, “produce and progress”, “practice and pass” principles. The written examinations would be replaced by actual assessment of the skills, at all levels.
* All religious temples and places of worship would voluntarily incorporate educational, industrial, and agricultural and research activities; conducive to holistic health; thereby get re-integrated with mainstream life. Conversely, all educational and industrial houses would adopt the activities of religious and spiritual bodies and institutions; in which, the philosophy of holistic health is implicit (though variable in terms of semantics i.e. languages and terms).
* Getting up early, drinking of water in morning, rubbing the teeth, gums and palate in morning and using herbs conducive to dental, oral and general health, would be promoted as essential elements of holistic health.
* Byhearting of hymns and prayers of different religions; would be sung together; amongst all religions, in all institutions.
* Laws would be devoid of vindictiveness, conducive to holistic health i.e. formative, and hence rigorously and strictly executed; e.g. the persons soiling the public property would me made to clean without compensation the same, a corrupt person would be made to work double the duty hours, in minimum salary and those involved in misleading or deceptive commercials such as (98% stoppage of hair fall, double increase in height) would be made to participate in production, research, training and practice of holistic health and medicine, at no profit.
* The production of bicycles and vehicles of mass transport being echo-friendly would be encouraged as against vehicles of personal transport.
* Sanskrit would be researched and taught all over the world if after careful scrutiny of international well meaning intellectuals belonging to different religions; and found beneficial to mankind.
* The unifying elements and enlightenment in the lives of saints, seers and other reformers would be integral part of the curriculums.
* The doctrines of bigotry, fanaticism, Zionism, racism, wars and hatred would occupy minimum or if possible actually NO space in curriculum.
* There would be introspective research and dialogue over; whether the culture of slaughtering the cows and bullocks (and other animals) is an evolved and civilized act; beneficial to mankind? or is it preferable to love, care, adopt and coexist with animals?
* There would be extensive and conclusive debate, evolution of globally beneficial policies, laws, rules and their implementation in this regard; world over.
* There would be encouragement to folk sports as for the folk arts and folk music in preference to high tech sports and arts
* The defense policies would gradually become less barbaric, less cruel, less vicious, less prejudiced, less suspicious, less obstinate and more reconciliatory.

(To be continued and revised if and when necessary)

It is true that we should learn to rise above the disturbing influences from inner and outer environment.

But it is also true that in the process of such rising; one gets the urge to respond to the surroundings as well! The misery, depression, frustration, hopelessness, melancholy and helplessness infect and inflict us from inside and outside and compel us to respond to them!

While trying to focus; on the all time bounty of NAMASMARAN; I often realize that the inadequacy of faith, conviction and practice of NAMASMARAN; has lead to our degeneration or degradation to such an extent that we are unable to recognize, appreciate, respect and obey the wisdom and enlightenment.

We are dragged by barbaric values! We are swallowed by our meekness, lethargy, dullness, selfishness, exploitativeness, crookedness etc from inside and we are devoured by the pettiness, glamour, glitter, hooliganism, temptation of quick (even if it is fraudulent) money from outside!

We are blinded by values which take us away from our true selves and make us miserable! We; in our lowered state of consciousness seem to “enjoy” this deliriousness and spread the stupefaction far and wide and mislead others, including the younger generation to the abyss.

NAMASMARAN can open our inner eyes of wisdom and help us recognize, appreciate, respect and follow the wisdom and enlightenment so that we can blossom together!

In absence of NAMASMARAN; we would keep on getting dragged by barbaric elements, basal forces, vicious conspiracies, malevolent transactions or suicidal acts (inside and outside); and keep on respecting, appreciating, promoting and empowering them knowingly or unknowingly!

Through the practice of NAMASMARAN it is possible to open our inner eyes and “see” the global unity; overcome influences of the pettiness and superficiality; and focus on and respect the melodious source of the global orchestra and participate in orchestra of global harmony!

Unless such orchestration ensues, there can not be consensus on globally important issues and hence the agonies and/or perversions can not be abated or curbed.

The lack of NAMASMARAN leads to thwarting of growth (inability to grow) from within; and realize our transtemporal cosmic nature. We are unable to “live” in cosmic consciousness, (though we may profess or preach our cosmic identity).

As a result of this lack of realization of cosmic self, we are unable to “see” the uniting and consolidating global conscience and ushering in of; the dawn of spiritual renaissance. So, we keep on revolving around our petty self and go on thinking, feeling and acting in accordance with the petty considerations of self, children, relatives, groups, parties, religions and so on!

We keep on “living” in insecurity and blindness (to the impending unification and future blossoming of the world); and all evils associated with such a state of obliviousness! This is especially conspicuous; if we are global leaders in different fields as we are condemned to think and act in a sectarian, prejudiced, and inimical manner!

With NAMSMARAN we can “see” the individual and global process of awakening of consciousness, conscience, strongly emerging consensus and participate in their triumphant expression in perspective, policies, plans and actions in different fields for individual and global blossoming! This is superliving!

Forty years back we used to read that mass movements; based on issues, lead to building of social and political organizations; such as working class unions and parties. It was said; that these organizations could then serve as instruments to bring about revolution.

Gradually it became clear that the issues are not very simple. In fact more often than not, they are too complicated to permit taking of a side; that would satisfy our conscience. One of the examples was that of reservation policy.

The idea of uniting on the basis of school, village, region, language, caste, religion, type of employment, occupation, business; often kept on appearing attractive and convincing; especially whenever I felt lonely.

Even forming of charity trusts or philanthropic organization appeared impressive; and ensure; some kind of warmth, companionship or support system.

But, gradually all these ideas became redundant; because; this kind of uniting; sowed the seeds of separate identity and hence disunity!

The fact; that universal unity is a reality; and what is required is the exploration, realization and manifestation of this unity in every walk of life; dawned in my mind along with the comprehensive concepts of Total Stress Management (superliving) and brought new and fresh rejuvenation in my life!

Even as hundreds of organizations of different nature have been formed, are being formed and would be formed in future; on different bases; I realized that my SWADHARMA is to explore and realize the unity (rather than forming any new institution or organization); through:

1. Practicing NAMASMARAN

2. Sharing the holistic concepts born out of or associated with NAMASMARAN; unconditionally; i.e. for any and every person; irrespective of age, sex, country, religion, race and so on

3. Sharing the ideas at no cost thus NOT depending on mercenary or commercial returns and/or interests and/or modus operandi

4. Not depending on or working for any charity and/or donations; but welcoming the genuine participation

5. Not depending or working for any government subsidy or aid

6. Not depending on; but working with the conviction that there is bound to be spontaneous and whole hearted participation of the global conscience; in this process of individual and global blossoming, without “any call for unity” or without formation of any institution/s or platform/s.

The stress is universal. It is ubiquitous. It is natural. It is inseparable from life. However; if it is not managed properly then it becomes detrimental to individual and global blossoming and even survival. Hence it has to be managed properly.

Stress has been managed in many ways for millennia. The ways of stress management have been changing as the life and the nature of stress have been changing. Since the nature of life is vast and complex the nature of stress is also vast and complex. Hence the traditions, customs, conventions, commandments, decrees, laws, rules, regulations, administration, etiquettes and manners; on the one hand; and scientific inventions, discoveries, artistic creations and other modes of elevating, exhilarating, entertaining, consoling and soothing life on the other; have limitations in terms of stress management (even though they have contributed tremendously in stress management; in the past)!

All these ways of stress management can come closer to accuracy and hence achieve greater effectiveness if they spring from and are coordinated and orchestrated by ever renewed self realization i.e. cosmic consciousness, in the new generations!

In fact, self realization i.e. merging with cosmic consciusness; enables us to express the enlightenment in every walk of life so that above said coordination, orchestration and harmonization in every field through out the world becomes possible. In other words individual and global stress management (Total Stress Management) becomes possible.

Everything other than NAMASMARAN; “marketed and sold”, “hyped and imposed” and “glorified and infused”; for “stress management or stress relaxation”; such as meditation techniques, rituals, equipments, commodities etc.; are subjective, escapist, sectarian, ad hoc, superficial and hence in absence of NAMASMARAN, either counterproductive or useless or at best temporarily beneficial (palliative symptomatic).


The way for merging with cosmic consciousness is NAMASMARAN.

It is true that thousands of people are practicing NAMSMARAN and many of them are merging with cosmic consciousness and expressing their enlightenment in various walks of life. But this practice of NAMASMARAN i.e. process of self realization has to be universal so that the laws governing the universal life become conducive to self realization i.e. individual and global blossoming.

In the field of law, there are; many laws, which are coercive, restrictive, throttling, suffocating and create hindrance to individual and global blossoming on one hand; and many laws conducive to individual and global blossoming; are grimly missing; on the other!

The laws regarding education, health, agriculture, industries and son should be such that they enhance self realization i.e. individual and global blossoming. In brief;

1. Self realization, holistic (universal) perspective, policy making, planning and execution
2. Concepts of Holistic health Holistic Medicine
3. Production of daily utilities or any feasible and useful products
4. Plantation of medicinal herbs (or whatever suitable or feasible plants)
5. Inculcation of the demerits, disadvantages and dangers of laws and regulations leading to “individualistic and consumerist progress” that includes e.g. unabated felling of trees, excessive production and marketing of personal transport vehicles and barbaric and brutal slaughtering of animals
must be part of all kinds of education.
