GRACE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Our life is associated with literally innumerable events in trillions of cells! These events take place at unconscious, subconscious and conscious levels! They go on and on; irrespective of our likes and dislikes!
As and when these events are associated with pains and pleasures; and likes and dislikes; we begin to make choices and decisions ranging from having innocuous personal interactions to waging world wars!
Most of us come to terms with life; by either pretending that we are satisfied; or admitting that we are frustrated; at different stages in life!
The perfect point of complete satisfaction is described variously as MUKTI, NIRVANA, MOKSHA, ULTIMATE FREEDOM, SELF REALIZATION AMRUTANUBHAV; GOD REALIZATION and so on!
As described by many; the increasing involvement in NAMA; is a preceding stage of this perfect point of complete satisfaction! Experience of this stage is close to that of winning the world!
When some of us reach here; through NAMASMARAN and SWADHARMA; it is the grace of our Guru (NAMA) and not our personal achievement! It is the victory (VIJAY) of NAMA!

REMEDY AND REWARD: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

There are thousands and thousands of varieties of people living in society. Their activities; and contexts of their activities keep on changing! It is very difficult to judge people; as most often we are not aware of the factors responsible and/or influencing; the people and their activities.
This is true for us; as individuals; also! It is not possible to judge ourselves as well! We do not know the subtle factors responsible for and/or influencing our activities, which we may feel proud about or guilty about!
Being judgmental about everything including ourselves; and searching for corrective measures; is a stage in our development. May be; it is in tune with the plan of the unfathomably wise and infinitely potent nature!
Today; being in the next stage; I guilt and criticism are beginning to decline! The solution is becoming more conspicuous! It is clearer that; NAMASMARAN is a panacea! It is a key to individual and universal blossoming! It is practicable for everyone in every nook and corner of the world; irrespective of caste, creed, religion, region and race!
Interestingly; it heals as a remedy, chastises as a punishment, purifies as a prayashchitta and/or encourages as a reward; whichever may be appropriate; for a given individual (or society)! In any case; it always nurtures and blossoms us from within!
But having said that; the very emergence, practice and globalization of NAMASMARAN; and hence the manifestation of individual and universal blossoming; are functions of the time (i.e. the epoch in which we live), which in turn; is in accordance with the plan of the cosmic wisdom and thus; is a victory (VIJAY) of the ultimate truth (NAMA)!

The term probiotics is a relatievly new word meaning “for life” and is currently used to name bacteria associated with beneficial effects for humans and animals. The development of resistance to range of antibiotics by some important pathogen has raised a possibility of return to pre antibiotic dark ages. So there was need of new treatment paradigm to be introduced to treat periodontal diseases. This need was fulfilled by the introduction of probiotics. Probiotics are counterparts of antibiotics thus are free from concerns for developing resistance, further they are body’s own resident flora hence are most easily adapted to host. The buzz about probiotics has become a roar but despite great promises, probiotics work is limited to gut. Periodontal works are sparse and need validation by large randomized trials. It can be said probiotics are still in “infancy” in terms of periodontal health benefits, but surely have opened door for a new paradigm of treating disease on a nano molecular mode. Novel species are likely to be added in the future as research data accumulate. In-depth understanding of the intrinsic microbial ecological control of commensal microbiota may introduce new putative species to this discussion.

DETOXIFICATION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Involvement in life is natural. Involvement in our own physical needs, our passions, our emotional needs, our intellectual needs is natural. This natural involvement is invariably associated with intense pains and pleasures. It is associated with severe likes and dislikes and profound excitement and depression. It is associated with passionate love and violence.
But interestingly; it is also natural; that our natural involvement gradually gets detoxified from the toxin of petty selfishness; in the course of holistic evolution.
This victorious detoxification of natural involvement takes place at individual and universal levels. It is characterized by lowering levels of vested interests, lowering levels of ulterior motives and lowering levels of petty expectations. As these all; are responsible for the disruptive and disastrous perspectives, policies, plans, programs and their implementations; their lowering; is important and leads to increasing unity and harmony inside and outside; at individual and global levels.
This is the victory (VIJAY) of the ultimate healer (NAMA); in detoxifying us!
Truly; NAMA is the center of attraction, convergence and merging for all!

DESIRE: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

The desire of individual and global welfare is born within; as a vague urge. It springs from within as an ambiguous upsurge! It is articulated and manifested in different ways; and through various activities.
But this desire of ours is never satisfied or fulfilled!
This is because; there is no distinct criterion or blue print of individual and global welfare that would be fully satisfactory! Hence we are never in a position to declare that “individual and global welfare” is achieved!
Should we accept failure in such a case?
No!
We should have patience.
Our desire actually gets initiated beyond our control; from the ultimate and supreme controller of the universe! He generates as well as designs; our desire as well as our actions; and He alone shapes the results; in terms of scope and limitations of our desire! This all; is according to His divine plan!
Through NAMASMARAN; all our finite and mortal existence; including “our desire of individual and global welfare, our activities and our achievements or otherwise” and also; our “not so noble urges and impulses”; merge with the immortal and infinite ocean of the nectar of NAMA, from where they emerge! This is really fulfilling!
This is Guru Krupa (bounty) or Guru Bhet (meeting); in as much as it is victory (VIJAY) of NAMA!
