STRESS BEEF AND COW DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAR

Many fail to understand and appreciate how personal stress and social stress multiply each other and how we contribute to stress in our own personal life as well as social life!

This is why; we try to manage stress through the workshops, seminars, lectures and counseling about stress management; revolving around; mere relaxation techniques, yogasanas
such as shavasana, meditation, diet, rituals, pendants and lockets! It is our common experience that even as these programs and solutions provided therein; are palliative, refreshing, consoling and soothing; they do not empower us to go to the root of stress and emerge winners in Total Stress Management. We go on beating around the bush, in vain hope!

Let us realize that; it is extremely important to understand, appreciate and internalize; that individual, stress; interact and multiply one another. Conversely, stress management at family, local, national and global levels and individual levels also complement one another!

Hence Total Stress Management involves; going to the root of the problems through holistic perspective, policies, plans and their implementation at local, national and global levels.

The case in point is the slaughter of animals for gratifying our technologically empowered highly sophisticated and fashionable; carnivorous craze of born from perversion of hunger and thirst for blood and flesh.

Ayurveda has gifted the world civilization; the wisdom of consuming cow urine; as a therapeutic agent. We ridicule the idea! We do not bother to even study; if the cow and other products are really beneficial for health and if so; in what way and how.

Having said that; today we must realize; that mere usefulness of cow urine or other animal products constitute somewhat utilitarian view point! It is not wrong when utility to the mankind is considered, but it is not holistic enough for Total Stress Management!

Stress springs through our non-holistic petty perspective and multiplies through; our petty policies, plans and actions. Hence we need holistic perspective that is mutually beneficial and blossoms the entire universal life from inside and outside.

Presently we are being governed by superficiality, pettiness, dullness, lassitude, parasitism, individualistic obsessions, and many perverted elements (which we often justify and feel proud of) at the cost of other living beings.

When we consume meat and relish it; we are ACTUALLY eating dead bodies of animals (necrophagia) and their urine and dung (urophagia and coprophagia), which our conscience never approves! This is how we invite stress and spread it!

We are not exercising "freedom to eat animals” but actually; we are "slaves of our cruel obsession of indiscriminate and perverted violence in killing and devouring dead animals" and vulgarly glorifying and glamorizing it as the ultimate pleasure in life! Our shameless hype of eating animals; leads to detrimental perpetuation of the perversion; and the stress; into the next generations far and wide in the world!

Through NAMASMARAN (The core of TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT); we can evolve holistic perspective, policies, plans, and their implementation, which involve; in this case; steps such as; not adoring, not glorifying, not promoting, not teaching, not practicing, not encouraging; and gradually but definitely stopping; BY LAW; the animal killing for “relishing” flesh and blood; while simultaneously creating better job options; for all those dependent for their survival; on such killings. This is one of the several accurate steps involved; in Total Stress Management.
