“Baldness” is the term used to describe the state of lack of hair on the head and androgenetic alopecia is the commonest cause of baldness. Approximately 50% of men are affected by the age of 50 years. One of the hallmarks of androgenetic alopecia is the conversion of thick terminal hairs into miniaturized; extremely thin (vellus) hairs. This process of miniaturization (i.e., shrinking of hair volume and growth length) is usually an indication that one is undergoing hair loss. The main mechanism for miniaturization relates to the shortening of the growth phase, i.e., the hair becomes “lazy” and does not grow to its full term. It typically begins in the frontal scalp and the vertex (crown area).
A significant proportion of women also suffer from hair loss. Unlike men, hair loss in females does not have any social acceptance. The chief complaint of women with female pattern hair loss (FPHL) is the ‘see through’ appearance of frontal hairline. These women suffer in silence for years together. The causes of hair loss in females can be: Female patterned hair loss (FPHL), telogen effluvium, hormonal imbalance, poor diet, diffuse alopecia areata. The progression hair loss in females (FPHL) is different from that of men. They experience diffuse thinning with no bald regions. Their frontal hairlines are relatively stable.

Hair transplantation is a cosmetic surgery which provides extra hair ranging in number from 1000 to 5000 to the bald scalp. The hairs along with the roots (follicular units) are taken from the back of scalp and are transplanted on to bald area on the frontal scalp and the vertex. The modern methods of hair transplantation involve transplantation of individual follicular units and provide completely natural appearance. These hairs remain life-long. They grow and undergo cutting just like natural hair. However, the progression of baldness is not arrested after surgery and the transplanted hair grow after 3-4 months. A combination of medicines and surgery thus provides the best final result. There are two methods of surgery:

Follicular unit transplantation (FUT): A horizontal strip, 1-2 cm wide and 10-20 cm long is harvested from the back of head, and dissected under stereomicroscopes to yield follicular units. It leaves a single linear scar hidden by the hair at the back of head.
Follicular unit extraction (FUE): The individual follicular units are harvested from the back and are then transplanted on to the frontal bald area. This propels the field of HT surgery one step closer to the elite minimally invasive status.

DHT (direct hair transplantation) is the latest innovation in the existing FUE technique. The idea behind DHT has been conceived and implemented by us at National Skin Clinic, Dehradun. It promises to yield better results

HEALTH, SELFISHNESS AND NAMASMARAN: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Even if we are selfish as we are during our childhood, youth and even middle and old age; we need not feel guilty (though we certainly should not feel justified and proud) about it. Even if we practice NAMASMARAN for some petty gains initially; such as money, power, fame etc; latter on these become redundant. We start getting the revitalizing experience of self realization called GURUKRUPA. Gradually our passions, instincts, passions, emotions, thoughts, perspective blossom to be pure and objective. Creative and benevolent influence in terms of individual and global blossoming manifests; though not exactly predictably and as per our subjective desire or expectation.

सुरुवातीला जरी अडचणी, त्रास, संकटे दूर व्हावी म्हणून किंवा अधिकाधिक सुख, अधिकार, पैसा मिळावा म्हणून नामस्मरण केले तरी पुढे पुढे ह्या सर्व बाबी बाजूला पडतात आणि गुरुक्रुपेचा (आत्मामृतानुभवाचा) अनुभव येतो. नामस्मरणाने सहज प्रवृत्ती, वासना, भावना, संकल्प, विचार आणि दृष्टिकोन शुद्ध आणि विकसित होतात व वैयक्तिक आणि वैश्विक कल्याण प्रत्यक्षात येते (पण अगदी अपेक्षा केल्याप्रमाणे किंवा अगदीच सुलभतेने नव्हे)!

STRESS, UNEMPLOYMENT AND MAL-EMPLOYMENT: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Unemployment is not the only problem. Unemployment usually leads to desperation and helplessness to grab any employment, which could be unproductive, useless; or counterproductive and socially harmful. This can be called mal-employment. Unemployment and mal-employment are only symptoms (though extremely disturbing and stressful) of the disease - mismanaged individual and global stress!

We all have a common and intrinsic urge; for eradicating unemployment and mal-employment. We can do this through Holistic Education. Holistic education embodies NAMASMARAN and productive domain; and ensures self and social empowerment; and eradicates unemployment and mal-employment.

The detailed explanation can be found in the references (especially 1, 2 and 4); given below.

DISEASE WORRY AND NAMASMARAN: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

It is a common experience we suffer from pain and disability due to disease. But we also develop lowliness and self pity. We become miserable. But if we practice NAMASMARAN then we gradually overcome the lowliness and rise above it. It is said that in the course of time we conquer every kind of pain and even death. This is called VIDEHI AVASTHA (beyond life and death).

But till we reach this; it is imperative that we avail holistic treatment conducive to self realization; for ourselves and maximum people in the world. This gives concrete satisfaction and true sense of well being,(even if we are unwell physically); which I have personally experienced.

MARATHI ESSENCE
नामस्मरणाने व्याधीची चिंता कमी होत जाते. (अखेर विदेही देखील होता येत असावे). पण अशी अत्युच्च विदेही अवस्था प्राप्त होईपर्यंत; नामस्मरण करता करता; स्वत: शक्य ते उपचार घेण्याने; आणि इतराना तसे मिळावे यासाठी (किमान स्वत: आजारी नसताना तरी) शक्य ते प्रयत्न करण्याने वाढते समाधान मिळते असा माझा अनुभव आहे.

STRESS, INTROSPECTION AND ACTION: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Every time I realize how I have several short comings in common with others; I quickly rise; and write about the experiences of NAMASMARAN, its significance in individual and global blossoming and also distribute/sell CDs, books and other material (giving this message) to maximum people.

स्वत:च्या किंवा इतरांच्या त्रुटीचा आणि आजूबाजूच्या परिस्थितीचा उबग, घृणा किंवा संताप, वगैरे आला तर त्या परिस्थितीतून स्वत:ला आणि इतराना मुक्ती मिळण्यासाठी; नामस्मरण अधिक करावे आणि नामस्मरणाने विश्वकल्याण कसे होईल याचा खुलासा करणारी पुस्तके आणि सी डी इत्यादी; इतराना द्यावीत असे मला वाटते आणि मी तसे करतो.

यासंबंधी अधिक स्पष्टीकरण; माझ्या "ताणावमुक्‍ती" ह्या; व इतर 45 पुस्तकात व 500 लेखात सापडेल. गूगल वर "डॉ. कशालीकर" सर्च केल्यास; मोफत डाऊनलोड साठी उपलब्ध असलेली ही सर्व पुस्तके व लेख सापडतील.
