DEPRESSION AND TOTAL STRESS MANAGEMENT: DR. SHRINIWAS KASHALIKAREven as the psychiatrists, psychologists and clinical counselors deal with depression; the menace of depression is going beyond their capacity to handle. (Recently there was a case of clinical counselor; herself committing suicide)!
We get depressed even if we are “successful” i.e. we are rich, famous, popular and politically powerful; as we are hollow within; as we don't justify our conscience. Even though various reactions and events in our own body and mind, and the incidences in the surroundings; are penultimate causes of our depression; the basic process of depression; is forgetfulness, obliviousness, ignorance, apathy and abnegation of our own conscience and our true self!
Since depression; is in essence; due to self forgetfulness and self abnegation; the most important solution as proclaimed by the immortal masters and sages; is NAMASMARAN (JAP, JAAP, JIKRA, SUMIRAN, SIMARAN, remembering, identifying, confirming our true self and assert it; in spite of all adversities; and conquer depression!
In other words; Just as oxygen is essential right from conception; for survival; NAMA is essential for recognition of the value of our survival; and fulfillment of life as human being.
