SCOPE OF NAMASMARAN: DR SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR
In the literature of saints and prophets there is plenty of admiration of NAMASMARAN as a way to liberation and/or emancipation.

But whether we totally disbelieve or believe in the saints and the prophets; we need not desist ourselves; from asking the question: If NAMASMARAN is a panacea; why are billions are people; many of whom are followers of NAMASMARAN; suffering miserably?

Many of us are tempted explain this on the basis of past deeds, which indirectly suggests that NAMSMARAN cannot purify our past deeds. It is a kind of admission of the limitations of NAMASMARAN.

In my view; NAMASMARAN is a panacea today; (if not in the past) due to the enlightening and empowering bounty of the penance of thousands of saints in the past. Today; it can chastise us; as well as purify us from our past misdeeds. But for this; at least a large proportion of people; if not all; need to practice NAMASMARAN and be oriented to their true selves.

This is similar to the phenomenon of an orchestration, where most instrumentalists and the vocalists are required to be oriented to the musician for desired harmony, melody and rhythm!

Actually when we get oriented to our true selves; we begin to get freed from the shackles of the stranglehold of our passions, lust, desires, ideas, beliefs, notions, dogmas and so on, which are often pursued at the cost of others. We begin to be more objective and hence less prejudiced, less biased, less grudged, less individualistic, less sectarian, less fragmented, less petty and so on.

In view of this; it is clear that; while practicing NAMASMARAN we need not get detracted, disturbed, disheartened, depressed or destabilized; by such destabilizing questions in our minds.

NAMASMARAN is the way; the universal way; and the most feasible way; even if we are NOT transformed into an enlightened soul; overnight and even if we do not see (through our subjective frames of our minds) the expected or anticipated results; in our life and the life of mankind.

Whether we are good, bad or ugly; and believers or non-believers; we still have the golden opportunity to practice NAMASMARAN and be a happy participant of the process of superliving or holistic renaissance i.e. individual and universal blossoming.
