BELIEF, SKEPTICISM AND IMMORTALITY: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Many people quote Dr. Jayant Naralikar, Jawaharlal Nehru and our constitution and
1. Advocate scientific temper.
2. Point towards the uselessness or harmfulness of DIKTAT
3. Indicate the experimental findings of statistical insignificance of utility of NAMASMARAN in healing;
and
4. Indicate the reduced rate of crimes in atheist societies.
5. Express skepticism about NAMASMARAN

Following is a brief explanation to the misconception that NAMASMARAN is an unscientific and religious matter and involves (blind) belief in God.

Saint Jnaneshvar (whom I don't want to compare with Dr. Jayant Naralikar and Jawaharlal Nehru or the constitution makers) refers to NAMASMARAN in the ovis 200 to 205 in the ninth chapter of Jnaneshvari. Apart from this most of the saints, including Kabir and Gondavlekar Maharaj; have described the merit of NAMASMARAN; based on their experience; in their works. As regards the effect of NAMASMARAN on healing or other material gains are concerned; the practice of NAMASMARAN does not involve any assurance of any tangible or material gains. As regards the relationship of crime and atheism; it is enough to state that; NAMASMARAN does not involve any kind of belief. It is a practice of negation of pettiness, subjectivity and superficiality. No science or religion can testify or endorse; whether NAMASMARAN can give the realization of immortality; as stated by Saint Jnaneshvar. Its practice is a matter of NOT DIKTAT, but a revelation, choice and golden opportunity.

But, all such frank questions and/or arguments are most welcome. More discussion/explanation about this; can be found; in articles and books; for free download; by google searching "dr. Kashalikar"
